Space Ace in Popular Culture
A short-lived cartoon series based on Space Ace was produced in 1984 as part of the Saturday Supercade cartoon block (which was composed of cartoon shorts based on current video games) with Space Ace voiced by Jim Piper, Dexter voiced by Sparky Marcus, Kimberly voiced by Nancy Cartwright, and Commander Borf voiced by Arthur Burghardt. Twelve Space Ace episodes were produced. The episodes were once shown on Cartoon Network and are still sometimes shown as filler in Boomerang's Boomeraction block.
Samurai Jack references Space Ace and the other Don Bluth-animated arcade game, Dragon's Lair, in an episode where Samurai Jack asks which path to take to reach a dragon's lair, he is told the left; when he asks what the right path leads to, Jack is told, "Space Ace."
