		Quoted via Wikipedia...:     Time Gal[a]... is an interactive movie... video game developed and published by Taito... and Toei Company..., and originally released as a laserdisc game... in Japan for the arcades... 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 pre-recorded animation for the game was produced by Toei Animation.... The game is set in a fictional future where time travel... is possible. The protagonist, Reika, 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. Time Gal was inspired by the success of earlier laserdisc video games that used pre-recorded animation, including Dragon's Lair... (1983) and the previous Taito/Toei collaboration Ninja Hayate... (1984), while Reika's character design bears similarities to the anime... characters Lum... (from Urusei Yatsura...) and Yuri (from Dirty Pair...). The game was later ported... to the Sega CD... for a worldwide release, and also to the LaserActive... in Japan. The Sega CD version received a generally favorable reception from critics. Why Time Gal? Well, I own exactly two SegaCD games. Guess what one of them is? Personally, I've always enjoyed these types of games.

		BTW I think they copied Reika's character design from Yuri's from Dirty Pair. Dirty Pair has a better theme song than Time Gal though https://youtu.be/POBiNhp_hk8

		Kind of makes you wish there was a time gal / dragon's lair / space ace-esque game for Dirty Pair. Or Gunsmith Cats. Or Bubblegum Crisis.
