SPACE ACE ENHANCEMENT ROM SET VERSION 1.0 - 9 April 2002
Created by Dave Hallock
Technical assistance by Jeff Kulczycki

INTRODUCTION

Space Ace was animated with the intention that not every scene would be played within one complete game. The original Space Ace arcade game (Cinematronics 1984) leaves out a few scenes with its CADET and CAPTAIN skill levels, but unfortunately the wrong ones. The SAE ROMs restore the animators' original plan by leaving out the correct scenes according to choices the player makes during the game, and this is believed to be the first and only Space Ace software that does so.

These ROMs also improve the overall flow and visual continuity of the game with cleaner video cuts and consistent input timing.
