Time Gal HD Remaster

Time Gal HD Remaster is an interactive anime adventure in which you help time-protection police officer Reika, also known as Time Gal, pursue a villain across history. You react with well-timed inputs to avoid traps and fight enemies; mistaken inputs can lead to a variety of game-ending mishaps. The visuals are remastered from the original laser disc.

Story

In 3001 AD, the arch villain Luda steals a time-travel device and flees through time, intending to take over the world by altering events across different eras. Reika chases him to stop his plans, encountering dinosaurs, cavemen, pirates, gladiators, giant robots, aliens and other dangers along the way.

Laser disc gameplay

Time Gal first appeared in arcades in 1985 as Taito's third Laser Disc game. Laser disc games used discs to show animated or live-action footage, with players watching and responding at key moments using joystick or button inputs to advance or fail. The format allowed visuals beyond what video games could produce at the time.

Game settings

The CONFIG menu lets you choose the number of lives per play, difficulty level, screen size and some of the languages displayed in the game. You can turn on extra lives for reaching certain scores, reduce the difficulty after a set number of failures, and continue after losing all your lives. The RANKING option's RESET command deletes saved high-score data. For voices, choose ARRANGE to use newly recorded, clearer voice data or ORIGINAL for the arcade version's voice data.
