Yes, I'm very jealous (being a HUGE Reika the Time Gal fan)! My question is how does it play? Is the picture quality 100% crystal clear? For the price it goes for, it better be! LOL

[kattkatt]

Was a little too quick. I will not recieve it until a week or so. I am the owner though.

Talking about rarity btw, the LA version is nothing compared to this one:

I got an Atari ST version somewhere

Never heard of her. But I'm not a huge anime/cartoon fan either. LOL

Mind giving some background about this? I'm curious now. 8-)

[ae.tc]

An evil mastermind named Luda has traveled through time to change the past, so he can be acknowledeged as the leader of the world in his very own future time era.

Players control Time Gal, a heroic, scantily-clad female time traveler whose quest is to stop Luda from changing the past and conquering the world in his future time era.

8-) The game has 16 different levels which contains various different time periods in which the player must guide Time Gal through to stop Luda.

The time eras which Time Gal must venture through include The Prehistoric Era which has monstrous dinosaurs; The Stone Age which has big, mean cavemen; The World Wars and Desert Storm where there are enemy soldiers; and many more.

The final level is a futuristic world where Time Gal must battle deadly robots, laser weapons and alien creatures, defeat Luda and end the game

The control must suck because those graphics look awesome! I've never seen the game but judging by that screenshot I'm thinking either Dragons Lair or Time Traveler (that 3D Sega arcade) type control. Am I close?

She's not from a show far as I know, although she looks like Yuri and Lum combined...

[DDCecil]

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Slow this topic down just a bit. Time Gal for MSX?! O_O

How? Why? Wha...?!

Wow.

For those not in the know:

Time Gal was originally released by Taito in 1985 for Japan. The animation was done by Toei. It is not based on any anime! It is basically a knock-off of Dragon's Lair, but a damn good one at that. It got ported to Sega CD for the U.S. in 1992 (and a bunch of other systems in Japan).

sothy, you are the best poster ever. hope I'm egging you on. (Btw, post above sothy's is for an MSX tape version, must be english speaking I guess given the tape format...word)

Anyhow, I've seen two GIF animations of stuffs from this game. Hillarious stuff. I've got to get it.

She looks uncannily like a certain famous space demoness, doesn't she? Just missing the horn nubs and lepoard print bikini :D

[digitalpress]

I've played and beaten ths Sega CD version many many times. It is really NOT a good game. There are better Dragon's Lair-style games out there, I'd pick Strahl aka Triad Stone as a good example.

That said, I'm JEALOUS :)

I'd love to have the LaserActive version, it's just too rich for my blood.

Whoa.

Nice cover art.

If I may ask, how much did this game run you?

[kattkatt]

If I may ask, how much did this game run you?

$350. Very cheap!

Wah? No obi strip? Pffft.

Seriously though, killer find. $350 for LA Time Gal is an awesome deal (even if it doesn't have the spine card :P ). I have Time Gal on SegaCD and love it. I think it's allot easier to play than Dragon's Lair. I'd kill for the LaserActive version though.

How'd you score this? I haven't seen one on Ebay in a while. Yahoo Japan auctions?

[Cmosfm]

I'm pretty sure this belongs in the finds thread, I'm not sure why it's been overlooked, but seems like nothing more than a find to me.

We had a stickied topic about it a couple of days ago.

If you gotta enforce the rules for one, you gotta enforce the rules for all.

I've played and beaten ths Sega CD version many many times. It is really NOT a good game. T

So then I have to ask, why is it you beat iot so many times if it's no good?

[XYXZYZ]

DAMN, that's seven different kinds of awsome. I love TG, I'm a big nut for 80s Japanese animation.

What is the Laseractive? I've only heard of TG for the Mega CD and PSX (And wasn't there a Saturn port?) Was the Laseractive the same LD that went in the arcade cabinets?

I'd love to watch the Time Gal animation at "real" resolution, my Playstation port doesn't look so hot, and forget the Mega CD.... Hey, you wanna transcribe that stuff to super-high quality video files? Come to think of it, with after seeing all of Digital Lesure's LD games I think we're long overdue for a Time Gal DVD. In Japan, at least! I can order it...

Anyway, congratulations on getting that thing. I'll just save these photos to my hard drive and drool over them. :-P

Come on, DP, it has CUTE CHICKS!!! That's gotta count for something.

That said, I'd kill for a copy of Badlands.

[SoulBlazer]

Yeah, I'm curious to go find some more pics of this myself. It's too bad I don't have a Sega CD anymore. ;)

She DOES look good, but of course that's been put to shame by now. LOL

So how does the LaserActive version play?

:eek 2:


YIPES! $350 is very cheap to you? Please, may I ask what you do for a living? I wouldn't mind being able to plunk down an easy $350 for a rare game like that. :)


On another note, I really like the font that's used for the "Timegal" logo.

I wonder if that's ever been made into a TTF file?

[Slimedog]

Time Gal is my favorite of the Dragon's Lair type games by far, based on my experience with the Sega CD version. The indicators make learning much easier and the sequences were rather entertaining. Plus the timing was waaaay more forgiving that Dragon's Lair or Space Ace. She had two different death sequences where her clothes got torn off. Man, I had such a big crush on her.

I vetoe'd the lockage on this particular find, as it's more of a "something everyone should see because you'll never see one in person" thread as much as it is a "find".

By the way, $350 is a STEAL. Congrats!

[digitalpress]

I've played and beaten ths Sega CD version many many times. It is really NOT a good game. T

So then I have to ask, why is it you beat iot so many times if it's no good?

Because at the time this came out, there was very little else to play on the Sega CD. And back then, I had lots of time to play and would commonly play games to the end. It was also a favorite of my buddy, co-founder Kevin Oleniacz so there was the "competition" factor in play as well.

[Dangerboy]

@_@

Yeah, I'll second that $350 for TimeGal would be like paying $35 for a Brand New PSP with the whole game library.

That's a freaking deal and a half.

For the 2 1/2 years I combed the internet to find my complete USA library, I saw Time Gal *once*, and it went for $800 before shipping.

That's a damn sexy find my fellow gamer, damn sexy find.
