Basic controls
Starting the game
After starting the program the demonstration mode will automatically
begin. The demo runs for a few minutes, then at the end a message
invites the player to 'press any button to play'. If no action takes place,
the demo will start all over again. To start the game, simply press either
action button on your controller, whilst the demonstration mode is
running, or when the 'press any button to play' screen is displayed The
game has started when the player score screen appears. This screen
shows your score and the number of lives you have left. The first scene
will then load automatically.
Playing Space Ace
You do not directly control all of Ace's actions but you control his
reactions to the events that happen around him. You must decide in
which direction Ace should move on the screen and when. To finish a
scene successfully, move the joystick in the direction of one of the
flashing areas to escape from danger. Timing is critical. All scenes require
more than one move. Don't be surprised when you see Ace in one scene
and Dexter in another. Ace has been hit by the Infanto Ray and he suffers
an 'infantilisation' which turns him into Dexter. You always begin a new
level as Dexter. As soon as the word 'Energize' appears on the screen,
you can press any button on your controller to change him into Ace.
However this change is only temporarily. At the end of each level, he
always changes back into Dexter.
Gameplay
Ace's movements are controlled by the joystick on your controller. You
may move Ace up, down, right or left. To use his laser gun, press either
action button on your controller. Ending the game. At the beginning of
each game, you have 3 lives. The game will end when you lose all your
lives or when you have completed all the scenes. To exit the program,
activate the 'No' hotspot on the 'Continue?' or 'Play again?' screen.
Pausing the game. You can pause the game by pressing an action button
when the score screen appears. If you press a button again, the program
asks if you want to continue. Pressing 'yes' continues the game,
pressing 'no' exits the program. Hall of Fame. The six highest scores may
be stored on the player. When the game is over, you can store your name
and points if your score is higher than or matches one of the top six
scores stored already. Program structure. Machine induced demo. By
leaving the MAIN MENU on the screen for a few minutes, a self
perpetuating tour will begin to cycle on screen. It consists of a mixture of
slides of game screens. This screen display will act as a screen saver,
shifting images continually in order until an action button is pressed.
This mode is accompanied by music and audio.
Routes to success..
At the beginning of the game, you have 3 lives. If you make a wrong
move whilst playing you loose a life and go back to the beginning of the
level. The game will end when you lose all your lives or when you have
finished all levels. At the end of each successfully completed level you
are awarded points.
There are a number of different paths that can be taken when playing the
game. Throughout the game, every path can be played in 4 different
ways: Each path is described twice either as Little Dexter (Infanto Ray
victim) or as Ace (the game hero). Whether going down the Little Dexter
route or the Ace route there is also a mirror image version of the same
sequence were the game actions are simply reversed. This means that
instead of moving right you move left and instead of moving left you
move right. Up still remains up and down remains down.
Every level starts off with Dexter. For most levels, at some point during
play the option 'ENERGISE' appears. On pressing an action button just
before the 'ENERGISE' word appears, Dexter is then changed back into
Ace. Extra points can be gained by choosing the more difficult Ace route
which is harder to complete with more challenges. The user just has to
complete TWO levels before being awarded an extra life. Staying as
Dexter throughout a level is only easy because it takes less time to
complete the level. Playing as Dexter throughout is still time critical and
you still have to make the right moves but an extra life is awarded only
after completing THREE levels.

Borf hits you with his foot in your face. Now you have to move up or to
the right to continue or press an action button to take path 4. If you
continue (so move right or north) you have to move an action button to
go to the right and to change into Ace. Then move up to get your stick
back. Here the game continues in the same way as in path 1, so starting
from the moment you see Kimberly on the platform.(**)

The game cheatmode.
There are two places in the game where you can activate the cheat-
mode. The first one is in the "press any button to play"-screen. This is
the screen you get after the introduction and the highscores (don't
interrupt them). In this screen you have to click four times on button
two on the left side, then move completely to the right side and click
three times on button two and than once more on button two on the left
side. Make sure you use button two because you won't get the cheat-
mode with button one.
The second place where you can activate the cheat-mode is in the screen
you get after you have finished the game or lost all your lives. It is the
screen where you have the choice to play again with a "yes" and a "no"
hotspot (Don't confuse this screen with the pause-screen). Here you
have to do the same actions : Four clicks on button two on the left, three
times button two on the right side and one time on button two on the
left side.
The scores of the cheat-mode won't be displayed in the highscores.
