EPILEPSY WARNING
READ BEFORE USING YOUR SEGA VIDEO GAME SYSTEM
A very small percentage of individuals may experience epileptic
seizures when exposed to certain light patterns or flashing lights.
Exposure to certain patterns or backgrounds on a television screen or
while playing video games may induce an epileptic seizure in these
individuals. Certain conditions may induce undetected epileptic
symptoms even in persons who have no history of prior seizures or
epilepsy. If you, or anyone in your family, has an epileptic condition,
consult your physician prior to playing. If you experience any of the
following symptoms while playing a video game — dizziness, altered
vision, eye or muscle twitches, loss of awareness, disorientation, any
involuntary movement or convulsions — IMMEDIATELY discontinue
use and consult your physician before resuming play.

It is the future, where time travel is just
being perfected. On the eve of its
unveiling, a new time machine is the talk
of the world.
Joseph Harper’s "Pathforger” is about to
be showcased live on world-wide
television. From his lab. Harper prepares
to send his head technician, 'Time Gal," into the time machine to
explore the past.
Time Gal enters the Pathforger, but before she can get comfortable
a man named Luda suddenly appears from behind the control
panel. Luda grabs Time Gal and sends her sprawling out the front
of the Pathforger.
“I'm going to rule forever, in any and every era the world has ever
known!" Luda proclaims. In an instant, the evil Luda and the
Pathforger are gone.
"What do we do now Dr. Harper?" Time Gal cries.
“Uh, I thought this might happen. Hurry... press that button
over there!”
A part of the lab wall opens and another time machine rolls out into
the lab. The words "Pathforger II” are clearly visible on the front.
"Go get that thief and bring back my stolen Pathforger!" Harper shouts.
"I’m off! I’ll do my best to track him down and protect the world’s
history. I hope I can catch him since he has a bit of a lead...’’
"Do what you can. We’re all counting on you Time Gal!"

After placins the “Time Gal" CD in the Sega CD tray, press play on
the title screen to start the game. After the design team logo appears,
the game will automatically start an introduction sequence which
shows Time Gal chasing Luda through many time periods. You may

bring up the game’s title screen. Rev up the Pathforger II before Luda
gets away for good!
From the “Time Gal” title screen you can select the type of game
you want to play. Go to the Options mode and make adjustments
if you like.
Lives: You can have up to 4 lives. Make your travels through
time more difficult by giving yourself fewer lives.
Difficulty:
Effects:
Adjust the level of play to
easy, normal or hard. There
are 2 continues given. The
easier the game you play,
the more time you have
to react.
There are 6 computer¬
generated sound effects
used in “Time Gal" which
you can listen to here.
Visual Mode: To enter and use the
"Password Mode” please
refer to page 14.
This Sega CD game is presented through the Pathforger time
machine’s video camera. Wherever Time Gal appears in time, the
camera zooms in and shows you the action.
You must help Time Gal jump or move to avoid any of the obstacles
Luda has arranged for her to run into during her chase through time.
Here’s what you see through the Pathforger video camera:

WHICH WAY DO I GO?
Wherever Ti me Ga I needs to go, the area I ' t 1
will flash yellow. Tones will also ring J|
letting you know when an action is 1
required. If you don’t move Time Gal in 1
that direction quickly enough, Time Gal
will suffer one game life and a special
error sequence will appear. You'll know you made the correct choice
when the picture of Time Gal in the lower right of the screen remains
smiling. Also, tones will ring to let you know whether your choice was
right or wrong.
tones ring and the yellow area flashes.
The reaction time is greatly reduced in the Normal and Hard modes.
You’ll need to anticipate the move in the Hard Mode, so be quick on
your fingers to be successful.
SCORING
The scoring is based upon how well you complete each stage. If you
complete a stage without missing a single reaction, your score will be
higher than if you complete a stage after missing a reaction. Point
totals are also determined by which difficulty level you are playing.
You also get points for each reaction you complete successfully.
Enter your name when you finish your game and compare your score
with those of the designers. Top scores entered do not remain when
the Sega CD is turned off.
Time Gal has a special ability granted to her through the Pathforger. At
certain points in a time period, she may stop time for a few seconds.
When she says "Time Stop," time will then freeze. At this point, Time
Gal has many options and needs your expertise to make the right
decision. A menu will appear with three choices of how to get Time
Gal out of a sticky situation. Make the right choice and Time Gal will
smile. Choose a wrong option, and she loses a game life.
There are 16 time periods or stages Time Gal must travel though to
capture Luda. The periods she travels to are arranged by era, but each
year within that era comes up randomly. She will start in the B.C. era,
then will move to the early A.D. through present time, and finally into
the future where Luda awaits.
When you start the game, the first stage that Time Gal travels to may or
may not be the same as the next time you play. To add an extra
challenge to the game, a stage may look the same as you remember it.
However, it could be a reversed image of how it appeared before.
Be aware that your movements also could be backwards.
SOME TIME PERIODS TIME GAL VISITS:
65,000,000 B.C. Trouble just seems to
follow Time Gal, like
the Triceratops that
chases her. Keep
moving and eventually
you’ll be rewarded
with something cool.
Watch out! It’s not
easy to outswim the
"slow" turtle.

Falling rocks are easy
to jump to, but watch
it when you start
getting close to the
river. Don’t let Time
Gal go over the
waterfall! Once off the
water, just fall without
the net and Time Gal
will be safe.
Those Romans get a
kick out of big burly
men battling it out in

frenzied fans. Time
Gal definately feels
out of place and with
some quick move¬

What would a good
vacation through time
be without a ride in a
mine car? Time Gal
finds out in a hurry
that the mine car is
her way to escape.
Where’s the driver of
the other car? Be
alert because that
track is not very
sturdy in some parts.
Time Gal likes to sail,
but on a Spanish
galleon with pirates
she doesn't exactly
jump for joy. She
jumps to get out of
the way! Look out for
that cannonball or
she may end up
walking a fiery plank.
Nothing like a little
futuristic biking with
some really level¬

on a space bike and
zoom away from

Dodge that sword

to duck!
PASSWORDS/VISUAL MODE
HARD MODE TIPS
The normal and hard modes of Time Gal
add an extra bonus to the same play.
After you complete a stase in these
modes, your score is totaled and then
a password appears. There are 16
passwords in the entire game, one
for each stage.

Once the game is completed, you may
use this password feature until you turn
off the system. If you turn off your Sega
CD system, you'll have to complete the
levels again in order the use the pass¬
words. The passwords allow you to
enter the Visual Mode from the game’s
Title Screen. Enter the password and
you will be presented with a menu to
view the entire stage uninterrupted or
watch the results of a wrong move.
As an additional reward, learn all 16
passwords and watch the entire game.

The Hard Mode requires a quicker reaction time and fewer clues, so
here are some tips on how to be more successful.
1) The reaction jewels do not flash so
there is no need to watch them. Pay
close attention to the game itself
because the area you need to jump
to will flash yellow. Some areas are
small and may not be completely
in one of the four directions. Use
your best judgement.
2) When Time Gal needs to use her weapon, her hand or the
weapon holster will flash yellow. Pay attention to this because
you may miss it.
3) After you accumulate your first
100,000 points in any of the 3
difficulty levels, you gain an extra life.
Subsequent lives will be added at
every 200,000 points in the Hard
Mode. Build up your lives to make
the game last longer.

Gal doesn’t succeed, Luda will
be laughing hysterically.
