Space Ace II: Borf's Revenge, publisher by ReadySoft in 1991 for the amiga.
The Space Ace is back. Unfortunately so is his sworn enemy. Borf.
Space Ace II follows on directly from the original with the action starting where you left off.
At the end of your previous adventure Borf had been reduced to a baby by his own Infanto Ray (with which he intend to take over the Earth).
The Infanto ray lies mere feet away and before you can react, the Goons reverse the effects of the beam and the big bad guy is back to his normal self.
Before you can shout "Holy super nova." Kimberly is gone and the galaxy is threatened again.
Being an all round hero type you just had to give chase.
Ace looked at Kimberly, the baby Borf cradled in her arms and he
thought back to all that had happened. It began when the evil adult Borf
constructed his ultimate weapon - the Infanto Ray. It could transform
anyone into a harmless infact with a single blast and with it, Borf had
the power to vanquish the nations of Earth.
In a desperate fight with Borf to save the unwary populace of
Earth, Ace was zapped by the weapon and transformed into a childlike alter
ego named Dexter. Drained of his strength, Dexter's only help came from a
special wrist-watch which, from time-to-time, provided him with enough
power to energize into his former self, the mighty Space Ace. To make
matters worse, Borf kidnapped Ace's beloved Kimberly and took her to his
orbiting space station.
Enraged, Dexter started a furious race against time and deadly
enemies to save Kimberly and the Earth. He battled lethal machines, vile
monsters and evil robots until finally meeting Borf in a last, desperate
struggle. Space Ace was almost defeated, but he outsmarted Borf and shot
the villain with his own Infanto Ray.
Now Borf was nestled in Kimberly's caring arms, who had taken a
liking to the adoring baby. She wanted to raise him in an attempt to keep
Borf from becoming the villain he once was. Although Borf now seemed only
an infant, the same evil persona lay hidden beneath that adorable blue face
and he yearned to be restored to his former power.
Sitting not far from Ace and Kimberly, Borf's vicious little Goons
planned their revenge. All they had to do was get the baby Borf back and
use the Infanto Ray's reverse setting to restore him. Their plan was set.
Just as you think things are over a mob of Goons race towards you and snatch
Borf and your beautiful girlfriend Kimberly.
