Page 1 of 2 Last year saw the launch of classic arcade game Dragon’s Lair, which graced Blu-ray and HD DVD players. Now Digital Leisure is prepping Space Ace for a release on high definition this Spring. And Dragon's Lair II: Time Warp will follow later this year.
From legendary animator Don Bluth (An American Tail, The Land Before Time), Space Ace allows you to play the heroic Ace who must stop the evil Commander Borf from taking over the Earth. Armed with only a laser gun, Ace must find and destroy the ‘Infanto Ray’, rescue his girlfriend Kimberly and save the Earth. All in a day’s work for a superhero, right? The interactive game has been completely restored and enhanced with an all-new 5.1 surround sound mix. Space Ace was authored in both the Blu-ray Java environment and in HDi with advanced interactivity for HD DVD which Digital Leisure says will allow users of both formats to “enjoy a fully arcade-authentic experience”. All of the special features on the disc were shot natively in 1080p including all-new interviews with creators Don Bluth, Gary Goldman and Rick Dyer, and for the first time a full length visual commentary of the game.
