Play Space Ace II: Borf’s Revenge Online – MS-DOS Game

Game Overview

Space Ace II: Borf’s Revenge is an interactive animated action game originally released for arcades and later ported to MS-DOS. Players take on the role of Dexter, who can transform into the heroic Space Ace to battle Borf’s minions. The gameplay unfolds like a reactive cartoon strip: instead of direct control, you input timed keystrokes (direction or attack commands) to navigate hazards and enemies across 27 short scenes. A wrong move triggers a death animation and costs one of Dexter’s three lives, demanding precision and quick reflexes. Progress can be saved at four checkpoints, easing the challenge.

Notably, this PC adaptation is a trimmed version of the laserdisc arcade original, delivered across 12 low-density floppy discs. While the compressed scenes sacrifice some content, the game retains its cinematic charm and quick-time-event-driven gameplay—a hallmark of early interactive animation titles. Its blend of cartoon storytelling and reflex-based mechanics offers a nostalgic glimpse into 1990s arcade innovation.
Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
