Hi, I am looking for any hints on a very simple minigame that was included in the Amiga workbench (1.2 or 1.3 I think). I think it was called "Space Ace". Two players would each steer a simple arrow "space ship" and shoot at each other. The great thing was that you could turn on "inertia" resulting in the spaceships becoming very difficult to steer.
I also remember that if you steered a spaceship off the screen edge, it would reappear on the opposing side.
Anybody have any pointers to this gem of my childhood?

I'm not sure about being included with Workbench, but sounds a bit like Gravity Force 2. Maybe it could be the first one - I never played it.
Regardless, Gravity Force 2 was great; thanks for reminding me!

Sounds like a two player Asteroid clone, maybe the PD 1989 space war.

No games included on Workbench disks. The game sounds a lot like Space Wars

Could be Turbo/Turbu Raketti? I played that game forever back then. So simple. So addictive.
