This is it❗️?? – Space Ace HD Review

Back in the 80's, there were several exceptional video games in the arcades; Dragon's Lair, Space Ace and Cliff Hanger. Those were my top favorite laserdisc video games. Of those three, Space Ace was the top game for being the only one that offers the player choices throughout the game. For example, you may be flying your ship and you see two different paths. Another example is when it's time to energize (if you pay attention to the on-screen visuals, you may notice another path flash brightly offering an alternative choice). Over the decades, I have owned several different versions of this game. This game; Space Ace HD for the iPad is the most accurate game of them all. It feels like I am finally playing the arcade authentic version of this classic. The controls are spot on accurate and I just love hearing the beeps (other versions altered the beep tones), but this is the authentic and most accurate version ever made! Be sure to set the lives to unlimited so you can relax and enjoy the pleasure of relearning how to master the correct moves and timing. One word of advice, just because you see an arrow flash does not mean you need to move in that particular direction! Experiment, experiment, experiment! On the final boss battle, I completely avoided energizing until I reached a point in the battle were energizing was no longer an option. Instead of a death scene, Dexter energized into Ace! Every scene from the arcade original is here! This is what you expect when you buy this game. If the reason you're reading this review is because you see a price tag, fear not; you get the real game! This was the first app I purchased for my brand new iPad Air 2 and I am highly satisfied with my choice. Recommended: Yes
