Do you remember this Don Bluth's classic arcade videogame? Space Ace was his third Laserdisc arcade videogame, after Dragon's Lair and Dragon's Lair II: Time Warp.

Digital Leisure and Dragon's Lair LLC announce that Space Ace will be availalbe in Full HD for iPad on the AppStore this Friday June 15th worldwide.





In Space Ace you play the heroic Ace who must stop the evil Commander Borf from taking over the Earth! Borf plans to reduce all of humankind to infants and take over the planet. Only two people have the courage and strength to stop Borf and save Earth: the beautiful Kimberly and the heroic Ace. But as they approach Borf’s stronghold, Ace is hit by the Infanto Ray, changing him into a child, and Kimberly is kidnapped by the evil madman. Armed with only a laser gun, Ace must find and destroy the Infanto Ray, rescue Kimberly and save the Earth.

This release of Don Bluth’s legendary animated arcade game features video transferred directly from the high definition film master, delivering the sharpest images and most vibrant colors ever – far better than the original laserdisc release.

Space Ace HD is available for iPad June 15th for only $4.99 USD.
