854.0. "Space Ace - Is It An Overpiced Demo?" by UBOHUB::SHELDON_R (What A Marvellous Delivery!) Mon Apr 30 1990 09:06

    
    
    What do you think of the "game" Space Ace? The magazines have stated
    that apart from the stunning graphics and excellent sound track
    it has appalling gameplay involving 2 or 3 joystick movements per
    level.
    
    The game apparently plays like watching a cartoon and you decide
    when to move and if you don't do the right thing the hero dies.
    
    Priced at �44.95 it is also very pricey for a potential flop due
    to the high price.
    
    What are your views great game or overpriced demo?

854.1ST Format agreesCOMICS::DSMMGRTue May 01 1990 06:3510
    I saw this in a shop window, and for a display of the graphics
    capability of the ST it is BRILLIANT. Howerver, ST Format did a review
    which came to very much the same conclusion as that expressed in  the
    base note. 
    
    To paraphrase their conclusion, If you got loadsa dosh and want to
    impress your friends with some stunning animation, then go out and buy
    it... the gamesplay sucks..

    Hi,
       A friend of mine has this game, graphics are great, but all you
    actually have to do is press the mouse button once and the next screen
    loads, its easy to get all the way through this game without loosing
    after a days play.  Though if its a good demo you want, then get it,
    but from what I remember it costs 45 quid ---- far too much.
