I never got to play Dragon's Lair in an arcade, but my dad had the PC version of the game when I was a kid. I remember dying so much in the game that I just gave up on it. I never got to play Space Ace though. I might have to try to see if I can find copies of these old games.

Minus those moments where his larger body keeps him from getting hurt, I can't really understand the relevance of Dexter/Ace's transformation. He mainly fights with his blaster and not his strength.
@skotabig2 ай бұрын
I never really thought about that, great point!
@ivanacurna65772 ай бұрын
I think his younger version is not his real version. From the context I saw at end I'm guessing he was de-aged by villain to make him vulnerable, maybe that's why he uses blaster because he is used to fight in adult for than a teenage form. I never play this game so I don't know much about the story. I only know about this thanks Don Bluth's art style in cutscenes .
@michaelanderson7288Ай бұрын
The villain of the game, Borf, had an ultimate weapon he called the Infanto Ray. His goal was to conquer Earth by turning everyone into babies, rendering Earth defenseless.
@michaelanderson7288Ай бұрын
The attract reel for the arcade showed that Ace took a hit from Borf's Infanto Ray. That's what made him de-age into little Dexter.
@michaelanderson7288Ай бұрын
Also, except for the final battle with Borf, you could play the entire game without transforming into Ace.

Don Bluth is polarizing. Many animators and animation fans really dislike his style for being too exaggerated.
@poopingbuffalo2095Ай бұрын
Not to say it’s bad though. I think some of the reason why people had strong opinions on Bligh is due to how many movies he produced in the 90s. He is certainly one of the all time greats in animation

It seems that the infantoray really does work as intended. It doesn’t just age you down physically, it also ages you down mentally too! Dexter in his younger form wasn’t just skinny, but he was also anxious and far more prone to running away than fighting, despite being armed with a blaster! However, in his normal age state he’s calm and collected and even calculated, taking as long as he needs to react properly and plan out his moves in situations that would have his younger self running for the hills. It also appears that his energize wristwatch actively fights its effects, it overwrites the infantoray’s residual energy and lets Dexter/Ace fight at his peak, as brief as it is, which makes me wonder. What would it do if Ace wasn’t being affected by the infantoray’s power?

I remember this game at the arcade in the 80's. It was too hard for a young lad like me. I stuck with Q-Bert, Star Wars, and Popeye mainly when it came to arcade games back in the day. At home, I had Zaxxon on the Colecovision. I could play Zaxxon for hours. My dad enjoyed Zaxxon too. He liked how the controls mimicked actual air plane controls where up on the stick was down and vice versa.
