Mockup cover art for a GBA version of Taito’s FMV game Time Gal. “I ported this game in 2003 but never released it,” Flickr user gawd says in the photo description, due to his compressed version being 200K too large to fit on GBA. I would really like to see this.
I want there to be more FMV games on handhelds. Whenever I play iPhone Space Ace, I feel like I’m in some fantastic future.

- Otherwise, a lot of these deaths would be pretty gruesome, and
- The simplified look is a necessity for getting all the deaths an FMV game requires drawn quickly.
Seriously, 90% of the footage in any FMV game has to be these clips of your character failing in unique and interesting ways. Like by having a monster tear your pants off. Yeah, I don’t know.
Should you manage not to fail in Time Gal, here’s the ending:

And by “nobody noticed” I mean “I didn’t notice.” I’m fairly ashamed that I wrote about Castle of Shikigami III a bunch of times and I never learned that one of the selectable characters, Reika Kirishima, was the protagonist of the arcade FMV game Time Gal. There was no way for me to know this.
I learned this interesting tidbit from Todd Ciolek’s great GameSetWatch article about Time Gal. And now I’m off to check prices on Shikigami III!
