The briefing

About this game

In ACE 2088, enemy forces have conquered planets under Federation jurisdiction. Operating from the mother ship Deliverance, you must reclaim them and destroy the occupying forces.

Mission Structure

Use the computer terminal to select a planet, review its information, and check the condition of your three fighters. After arming a fighter, launch into space and choose whether to set a course for the planet or return to the mother ship.

The action is presented from a first-person cockpit view. Enemy ships can be attacked with lasers and missiles while you attempt to avoid destruction. Once on a planet's surface, locate enemy bases, set a course toward the nearest one, and use fusion bombs to destroy them. Return to the mother ship after clearing the bases to prepare for the next assault.
