3410.0. "Space Ace " by HYDRA::CHICOINE () Wed Jan 31 1990 14:36

    
    
    
    Well I went and did it now.  I wanted a game for the sake of
 having a Knock your socks of kind of game I could show the Nitendo 
 fans what the Amiga can do. From all the reviews it looked like
 Space Ace could do it. And I'll bet it can,,, If I can only get
 past the second scene. Being a totally Non-Arcade type family we
 had no idea what we were in for.  I want a cheat sheet! My wife
 and son are getting frustrated, and I don't even try, I'm too
 busy learning Pen Pal so I can teach the wife how to use it. 
 (if she ever stops running through the first scene of Space ACE.)

    If I can't get a cheat sheet, can someone tell me this at 
 least; Do you ever have to use combinations of keys to complete
 a move. (too keys simultaneously), or (one key, then another
 before you see Dexter try to move). Even if you could give us
 just the key sequence, and let us experiment as to when in the
 scene to use them.

    By the By,,, I also purchased Test Drive II, Not having a
  standard to judge from, It seems well worth the price, but
  that's from someone that is only averaging 60 MPH, on the
  first novice setting. I'll consider getting some scenery
  disks if anybody besides myself in the family plays it.


    And last but not least, we also got the Carman / world
  game. My wife and kids love it. Simone's already up for her 
  second promotion. My two year old keeps making her play.


    OH,,,, Maybe this is last, and certainly least. I know this
  guy with one of those other types of systems, you know, and
  it's even one of those 8088 cpu's. But he keeps getting all
  this fabulous software, (pirated of course,) and he's kind of
  dropping this "mine's a _real_ business machine" line on me.
  But his wife and kids don't have any interest in the thing,
  (I wonder why?) But whenever they come over to my house,,, where
  do they go,,, to my Amiga.  One day,,, I'd love to show him
  some neat stuff.  Pen Pal is just one step. And his kids will
  freak over the other packages.

	Well if it runs on an 8088 it can't be too fabulous,
at least thats my opinion. I wonder what kind of real business
your friend is doing. Have you seen this fabulous software ?
	I know a guy with an XT clone,and after a year he is 
getting close to downloading a file from the vax. He bought
in a database that was supposed to be great...well I guess to
him it is. I need to run messy dos for a process here at work,
and I find it very hard to get excited. I keep wishing I could
upload the results of my fist batch,while I sit and watch the
screen waiting for my second batch to complete. all I know about
space ace is in the first screen your last move is to jump behind
the rock,and pull back on the joystick.

    I seriously doubt it. The boot code is non-standard fer shure. With the
    speed at which this thing boots, I'm surprised it recognizes any
    additional floppy drives!
