A lively anime action cartoon whose timing puzzles reward memory more than reflexes.
This is the Sega CD port of the 1985 Taito and Toei arcade game, developed by Wolf Team and published by Renovation Products in North America. It came out in Japan on 13 November 1992, in North America in May 1993 and in Europe in September 1993. You watch the on-screen action and press the right direction before time runs out as Reika is sent through the ages.
Opinions split. Game Informer praised the animation and sound and thought the cast a little too cartoonish, and GamePro said the sound effects were funny and clear but that it would keep you entertained only for so long. Sega Force found the play a letdown, frustrating at first and quickly memorized.
What the press said at the time
| Sega Force Issue 15 | March 1993 | 59% |
| Sega Pro Issue 36 | September 1994 | 80% |
“Yet again, a Mega-CD game looks full of eastern promise and ends up drenched in western water! … Time Gals a let-down of the highest order.”
“If you have a Mega CD, know Japanese, and can tolerate some weird humor, get this game. Perhaps Sega or Renovation will consider it for a U.S. release.”
“If you liked Road Avenger, loved Dragon’s Lair, have an off-the-wall sense of humor and a soft spot for bizarre Japanese animation—not to mention a weakness for psychotic, gun-wielding, green-haired babes who show a lot of leg—then this is the perfect game for you.”
“Even less involved than Road Avenger, and that's saying something. Still quite good fun though.”

Before you buy
The US loose disc sits above the middle for North American Sega CD games. The European disc usually costs about the same loose and a good deal less complete, and a complete Japanese copy usually costs much less than a complete US one. A Japanese disc needs a Japanese Mega-CD, so buy to match your console. Check the disc's printed label and that the case is the right one.
