Battle Ace

Hudson didn't do themselves a favor when releasing Battle Ace as launch title for the SuperGrafx console. The game is a shooter in "After Burner" and "Space Harrier" tradition, but doesn't reach the quality of said games. Maybe a game with pseudo-3D was chosen to show some of the new consoles graphical capabilities. Problem here is that the graphics are not good looking at all. The action itself is a mixture of constantly pressing the fire button in the hopes to bring an enemy down by pure luck, whilst trying to wildly outmaneuver incoming missiles.

Battle Ace is a cockpit dogfight game from Hudson Soft and one of a handful of games developed specifically for the SuperGrafx console. The player must fight through waves of enemies, shooting them down and avoiding their missiles. The game cycles through various zones, some of which include environment hazards like ice and asteroids that the player must also avoid by swerving around.

Of the seven games that took advantage of the SuperGrafx's increased computing power and graphics card, only three of them were specifically created for the system: Battle Ace, Aldynes and Madouou Granzort. Battle Ace was the first game to be released for the system.

The Japanese title reads approximately Batoru Eesu (Battle Ace).
