Space Ace is a LaserDisc video game produced by Bluth Group, Cinematronics and Advanced Microcomputer Systems (later renamed RDI Video Systems). It was unveiled in October 1983, just four months after the Dragon's Lair game, followed by a limited release in December 1983 and a wide release on April 29, 1984. Like its predecessor, it uses film-quality animation played back from a LaserDisc.

The gameplay is similar to Dragon's Lair, requiring the player to move the joystick or press the fire button at key moments in the animated sequences to govern the hero's actions. There is also the occasional option to either temporarily have the character transform into his adult form or remain as a boy with different styles of challenge.

The arcade game was a commercial success in North America, but was unable to achieve the same level of success as Dragon's Lair. It was ported to a number of home systems.
