- "Beware your dark side! "
- —Hexter, Space Ace
Hexter is an evil doppelgänger of Ace, created for the Space Ace arcade game, who also appears in the home console version of the game and in Space Ace II: Borf's Revenge.
Appearances[]
Space Ace[]
Dexter first encounters Hexter after falling into a deep metal chasm and escaping up a rope. On a cliff appears to be Kimberly who warns "Beware your dark side." She is revealed to be the evil Hexter in disguise, who shoots at Dexter while insulting him. The two have a gun battle and Dexter takes refuge in a hiding area that Hexter seals up and fills with water.
If Dexter doesn't energize, he can drop out of the bottom of the water trap. Hexter splits himself into clones, both blasting at Dexter. As Dexter escapes, he runs into additional Hexter clones until he exits the stage.
If Dexter energizes to break out of the water trap, Ace confronts Hexter, who then energizes into Giant Hexter. Giant Hexter fires at Ace who evades attacks along a corridor, including Giant Hexter's attempts to eat him. As Ace leaps across his doppelgänger’s body, the giant errantly shoots away parts of his own body until only his head remains, which rolls like a boulder after Ace.
Space Ace II: Borf's Revenge[]
This sequence utilizes simplified graphics adapted from the laserdisc game. Dexter must escape from Hexter before confronting Commander Borf.
Space Ace (SNES)[]
Mirroring the arcade game, Hexter first appears in the guise of a captive Kimberly before revealing his true form. After fully transforming into Giant Hexter, the villain attacks Dexter with bites and optic blasts. Ace is able to use his blaster to attack manifestations of the smaller Hexter.
Trivia[]
- In the SNES game, the stage in which Hexter appears is titled "Dark Dex."
