"As we pass the one month anniversary of the general availability of Windows 8, we are pleased to announce that to-date Microsoft has sold 40 million Windows 8 licenses. Tami Reller shared this news with industry and financial analysts, investors and media today at the Credit Suisse 2012 Annual Technology Conference. Windows 8 is outpacing Windows 7 in terms of upgrades." Not bad, but there are the usual asterisks, as Ars notes.

So the movement of ACE planes was kinda as if it was not a C64 game, but... Game & Watch? (or for me http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_%26_Watch#Clones_and_unoffici... & http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Elektronika_IM & http://digigames.7u.cz/ - I've never even seen a Nintendo unit)
PS. A bit creepy, you mentioning ACE withing a minute of me mentioning Jupiter Ace in http://www.osnews.com/thread?543969 ;P

Screenshots of ACE (Commodore 64) looked very nice, but when playing the game it was a different story.
The graphics were still the same, but enemy planes ignored the rules of well, reality. Their animations were bad, but what made it worse is that they could fly in squares in a very restricted area. It was more like they were jumping all over the place, the computer picking an almost random picture of them and displaying that.
