About the game

Dating from 1976, Ace for Arcade is preserved in the VG90 archive as a catalogue entry — a factual marker of a release that belonged to the first wave of arcade and home gaming.

the first wave of arcade and home gaming was a period of rapid change for the medium: cabinets and the earliest home systems were still teaching players what a video game could be. Placing Ace in that timeline shows where it sat as the industry evolved.

Why it matters

The value of a record like this is context: the first wave of arcade and home gaming produced far more games than the handful everyone remembers, and cabinets and the earliest home systems were still teaching players what a video game could be. An archive earns its keep by preserving the long tail, not just the hits.
