ACE

ACE

Sinclair ZX Spectrum - Released - 1986

A huge enemy fleet has invaded the southern shore of the U.S. Dozens of tanks and helicopter gun-ships are rolling over Tampa, Florida and through Atlanta, Georgia. Squadrons of enemy fighters are swarming through the air over South Carolina and are heading for Washington, D.C. For the first time in more than 100 years, a foreign power is invading our proud land! You are the only remaining fighter pilot, and you have the last three ACE Mark 2.1 Multi-Role All-Weather-All-Terain (AWAT) combat aircraft. Each is housed in one of our three remaining air bases. You must fly sorties from our bases, and attack and destroy the numerically superior enemy air and ground forces. Only then can you attempt to destroy their nearly invincible navy. Good Luck! The future of the free world hangs in the balance...

ACE 2

ACE 2

Commodore Plus 4 - Released - 1987

A follow-up to ACE. Similar to its predecessor, ACE 2 is an oldie head-to-head air combat flight sim set in modern days of aviation. The game has a very strong arcade feel, as all the missions you fly are nondescript or generic. Your plane is also a generic, hypothetical modern fighter, and the goal is to fly different sorties to kill enemy aircraft. Very similar to ACE, except that you can now play a 2-player hotseat game, or solo competition against the computer, in split-screen mode.

Pogotron

Pogotron

Sinclair ZX Spectrum - Released - 1989

Pogotron is a horizontal side-view scrolling shooter where the screen scrolls left or right when you move your hero as he tries to find the parts to his spacecraft on various planets bouncing on his Turbo-Pogo. On each planet you start close to a landing pad protected by two forcefields to keep aliens out, and you must find six parts to your craft one at a time and take them back to the pad to build the craft. As you search for the parts there are aliens that need shooting or avoiding as well as lasers, and if you touch the aliens or lasers then you lose part of a energy gauge. If the gauge empties then you lose one of three lives and you star by the pad but any part collected stays with you. Once the spacecraft has been built then you have to find fuel pellets and place them in the craft before you can take-off and leave the planet. Between each planet is a sub-game where you try to blast and destroy a guardian but if you fail you don't lose a life and you still go to the next planet.
