  • Space Ace is a LaserDisc game made by Bluth Group & Cinematronics back in 1983. It came directly after the hugely popular Dragon’s Lair arcade game, which I distinctly remember seeing as a little kid. Now NewWaveToys has created TWO 1/6th versions of the classic Space Ace arcade cabs with some amazing details. I love these things! More info: newwavetoys.com

      I'd much rather have these retro machines come as a controller set with a pi (or whatever) built inside that have HDMI hook ups for a TV--having the mini and half size cabinets are fun, but when actually playing them, I'd prefer full size controls, otherwise it just feels like a novelty. If they already do that, I don't know what they're called/who makes them.

    Ah one of Don Bluth's contributions to games, loved his arcade stuff playing at the arcades and still to this day. A friend from Insomniac that I worked with at several places was his understudy and worked on this. I miss this kind of animation in games, it was done better than a lot of modern games 20+ years its senior.

  • @michaelmccormick1152
    @michaelmccormick1152 Před rokem +1

    From what I understand the laserdisc machine if you find an original Space Ace or Dragon's Lair out in the wild is usually broken. They were never built to last past a few years so getting the game as a replicade might be the way to go. Seems like a pretty cool product overall.

    I never was notified when this went pre-sale so I didn't get one. I really hope they have some for sale and don't sell out immediately... This was my favorite game back in the day, I was mesmerized watching people play it. Unlike Dragon's Lair which just had a bunch of stand-alone rooms, this game had a coherent story. I finally learned it and was able to play all the way through, one of my favorite accomplishments. Wonderful game. And Donkey Kong would be AMAZING!

    You got yours? LUCKY!!! I am waiting with such excitement for my Space Ace Replicades I ordered last year. I ordered them with the 2nd edition Dragon’s Lair Replicades which got to me in early February. I’ve been playing DL and slaying dragons on the regular and I love them!! I ordered both versions of cabinets of Space Ace just like I did with DL btw..
    I would love to see NWT eventually make Dragon’s Lair II: Timewarp to complete the trilogy..
    Also, I am waiting for NWT to make the little version of a TV that plugs into the Replicade’s HDMI port.. Arcades used to put TV monitors on top of the cabinets back in the day for easier spectator viewing since these games would draw a crowd.. I’m snapping two of those up when NTW comes out with them!
    Thank you for showing your beautiful Space Ace Replicades as I understand they are supposed to ship out next week.. SO EXCITED TO GET MINE!! 😁👍🏻❤
