List Price: $39.95 Discount Price: $23.38

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

Customer Reviews:

Love the transfer to Blu-ray, The extra features make it worth it [Posted on 2008-06-01]
I picked up this with Dragon's Lair on Blu-ray and I played them both on my Playstation 3.

I wasn't able to play the arcade version of this game. It was just not around in the arcades that I went to. However it was one that I have always wanted to play/own.

Again, the extra features make this version of the game worth owning. I love seeing the creators talk about their work and what they did to accomplish it. They actually used stop motion and live action shots in this game. Amazing.

The previews under features gives you access to 2 playable levels one from Dragon's Lair and one from Dragon's Lair II: Time Warp.

You get 3 levels of difficulty instead of the 2 that were listed for Dragon's Lair, as well as other options that were not available. Such as there is a widescreen and original option as well as subtitles that were not offered in the Dragon's Lair Blu-ray.

The comparisons to other versions of this game over the years is a nice added feature as you can see how much better this version looks on your HDTV.

I am glad to add this title to my collection, and I can't wait for Dragon's Lair II: Time Warp to come out on Blu-ray so I can pick that one up as well.

Space Ace - Very impressive version  [Posted on 2008-06-23]
The high definition remastering of this game is very impressive. I would recommend this to anyone who owns a blu ray player and likes Don Bluth's animation.
