In Time Gal, the player controls Reika, who appears to be some kind of law enforcement official in the year 4001. You know how the game works, video plays out and you react to the linear controls with split second timing in order to prevent our heroine from a grisly demise. I explained at length in my Dragon's Lair entry what LD games mean to me and why, so I'm not going to fight for their existence here. Time Gal is the second Laserdisc game to enter the 100 list. For that, I still have a couple thousand years wait left, until then, 1985 will have to suffice. Now, to me, 2010 sounds pretty much like it's "The Future" (Although SNK always assured me that the future "is now") but as I look around I see that, sadly, old movies and 1940's Bugs Bunny cartoons were lying all along, I have no hoverboard, no laser-gun, no spaceship car and The Running Man isn't a legitimate gameshow (Yet) What I'm missing most of all though, is super cool anime girls time travelling in ridiculously small costumes. As of this writing it's the very beginning of the year 2010.
