European Versions -
Space
Ace (83) was licensed to Atari for production and manufacturing in Europe. The
cabinet was very similar to the Cinematronics release, but the hardware,
including the laser disc player was totally different. Atari sub-licensed
Space Ace to Sidam for production and manufacturing in Italy. Most of the
hardware for the Sidam version was the same as the Atari version, but the
cabinet design was totally
different. Space Ace (91) was licensed to Atari for production and
manufacturing in Europe. Atari sub-licensed Space Ace (91) to Elettronolo
for production and manufacturing in Italy. Most of the hardware for the
Elettronolo version was the same as the Atari version as well as the cabinet,
itself.

Enhancement ROMs - A very cool item to have. These ROMs have been edited to enhance the
gameplay of the (North American) arcade version of Space Ace by utilizing
the laser disc's full potential. Be sure to check out Dave Hallock's
Space Ace Enhancements.

Monitor
Swap - If the monitor in your Dragon's Lair, Space Ace, or
Thayer's Quest is not up to your liking, you can replace that monitor with a 19"
TV. The Monitor Swap Tech Page will
show you everything you need to know.
68705 Bypass Mod - Update
for older Rev. A DL/SA PCBs. See the
68705 Bypass Modification Tech Page for
more information. Volume
Control Hack - Shaun Wood comes thru with a neat hack
for the "move beeps" in Dragon's Lair or Space Ace. Now you can adjust the
move beep volume if it is too loud or soft for your environment. Check one
Shaun's Space Ace Volume Control Hack.
Interchangeable -
Dragon's Lair can be played in a Space Ace cabinet
simply by changing the laser disc and the EPROMS. Dragon's Lair II came
with a conversion kit for
Space Ace (91). The kit included a Space Ace laser disc (91), control
panel overlay, marquee, two 'fire' buttons, and one EPROM.
Although the animation on this Space Ace (91) laser disc was the same as the
original Space Ace version (83), they are not compatible with each other.
In other words, you cannot use an original Space Ace laser disc and EPROMs in a Dragon's
Lair II nor can you use the Space Ace (91) disc and EPROM in an original Space Ace cabinet.
Engineering Mode - Engineering mode was designed to let the engineers play-test a scene without
