Review
This first-person air combat simulator helpfully notes the instructions for playing are "on the back of the inlay card," so my clunky efforts to figure things out were less than successful. Accordingly, I'm offering some excerpts from a review in the C16/Plus4 handbook, an excellent user magazine whose scanned pages can be read in the Information section of Commodore16.com: It says that despite slow missile firing and a seemingly random determination of hits on enemy plane, ACE is a good arcade simulation requiring lots of skill with the radar to find targets. "Certainly one of the dearer C16/Plus 4 games and a good value, although £2 less would have been ideal." A Plus/4-only version with numerous extra missions, options like selectable weapons, and factors such as daylight and weather gets much stronger praise for being "only a £1 more than the C16 version for at least four times the game." Fans of such games may want to tinker around with the emulated version and see if they can get things working.
