Time Gal (タイム ギャル, Taimu Gyaru?) is an interactive movie arcade video game developed and published by Taito, and was released in Japan in 1985. It is an action game which uses full motion video (FMV) to display the on-screen action. The player must correctly choose the on-screen character's actions to progress the story.
The game is set in a fictional future where time travel is possible. The protagonist, Reika Kirishima, travels to different time periods in search of a criminal, Luda, from her time. After successfully tracking down Luda, Reika prevents his plans to alter the past.
It was inspired by the success of earlier laserdisc video games, most notably the 1983 title Dragon's Lair, which also use pre-recorded animation. Time Gal's animation was produced by Toei Animation. The game was later ported to home video game consoles and released outside Japan. The different versions received a mixed reception.

“I never understood exactly why people get engaged—The only time I ever did the most disastrous things happened—but I feel that there’s a great deal to be said for immediate matrimony always. If I once got started I’d probably have to become a mormon to cover my confusion. What I mean is that if he and she are crazy about each other it is sheer tempting God to stay apart, come what may. And if people arent crazy about each other being engaged wont help them.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
