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.

Famous quotes containing the words time and/or gal:
“A whole village-full of sensuous emotion, scattered abroad all the year long, surged here in a focus for an hour. The forty hearts of those waving couples were beating as they had not done since, twelve months before, they had come together in similar jollity. For the time Paganism was revived in their hearts, the pride of life was all in all, and they adored none other than themselves.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
“She was a charming middle-aged lady with a face like a bucket of mud. I gave her a drink. She was a gal who’d take a drink if she had to knock me down to get the bottle.”
—John Paxton (1911–1985)
