Space Ace

Space Ace is a classic interactive movie and action game published by Absolute Entertainment for the SNES, released in 1992, and it is a port of the 1984 laserdisc arcade game by Cinematronics.

The gameplay involves watching animated scenes and pressing the correct button at the right time to make the character perform the correct action, with a variety of scenes and challenges that require precise timing and memorization.

The graphics are colorful and detailed, with a classic sci-fi animation style, and the sprites are well-animated and full of personality.
