Digital Leisure's 'Space Ace' On HD DVD, this April 8

[North America]

From legendary animator Don Bluth (An American Tail, The Land Before Time), Space Ace allows you to play the heroic Ace who must stop the evil Commander Borf from taking over the Earth! Armed with only a laser gun, Ace must find and destroy the ‘Infanto Ray', rescue his girlfriend Kimberly and save the Earth. All in a day's work for a superhero, right?

Space Ace has been completely restored and enhanced with an all-new 5.1 surround sound mix. All of the special features on the disc were shot natively in 1080p including all-new interviews with creators Don Bluth, Gary Goldman and Rick Dyer, and for the first time a full length visual commentary of the game.

The HD DVD includes the following special features:

• HD DVD-Exclusive “Leisure Online” – A unique online player experience that includes “Head 2 Head” gaming - an incredible first for the HD DVD format.
• Interviews with game creators Don Bluth, Gary Goldman & Rick Dyer
• Picture in Picture video commentary from the creators
• Viewing Mode Option: Widescreen (16:9) or Anamorphic (4:3) video playback
• Watch Mode - Watch Don Bluth's stunning animation without playing
• Subtitled: English, French, Spanish, Italian and German

Space Ace HD DVD will be available from April 8th at many software and movie retailers as well as online at http://www.digitalleisure.com/. This disc is expected to be priced at $39.95 SRP.
