For the first time ever you can experience the stunning classical animation of Space Ace in true High Definition. This release of Don Bluth's legendary animated arcade game features video transferred directly from the original film source, delivering the sharpest images and most vibrant colors ever ¿ even better than the original laser disc release. In Space Ace you play the heroic Ace who must stop the evil Commander Borf from taking over the Earth! Borf plans to reduce all of humankind to infants and take over the planet. Only two people have the courage and strength to stop Borf and save Earth: the beautiful Kimberly and the heroic Ace. But as they approach Borf's stronghold, Ace is hit by the Infanto Ray, changing him into a child, and Kimberly is kidnapped by the evil madman! The fate of Earth is in your hands. Features: - Supplements in full 1080p/MPEG-2, with optional English, French, Spanish, Italian and German subtitles
- Interview (HD, 5 minutes) - Basically a coda to the picture-in-picture track (see HD Exclusives below), Bluth, Goldman and Dyer give a wider overview of 'Space Ace's reception, it's place in the arcade animation trilogy shared with the 'Dragon's Lair' games, and how they still receive mail about Ace from fans
- Demonstration Reel (HD, 3 minutes) - a restoration demonstration, using split-screen to compare the new Blu-ray remaster with past video releases
- Previews - video trailers for 'Space Ace,' 'Dragon's Lair,' and the upcoming (but as yet unscheduled) 'Dragon's Lair II - Time Warp.'
- Video Commentary (HD) - a picture-in-picture interview with Don Bluth, Gary Goldman, and Rick Dyer, who appear together in a PIP box in the top right corner. They narrate the complete 24-minute game as if it was a stand-alone short film (no interruptions for gameplay, etc.) They cover the gestation of the project as an immediate spin-off from 'Dragon's Lair,' but with the emphasis on upping the pace and speed of the game, as well as the voice talent, animation, and eventual success of the game
