The game has two opening sequences: one for the arcade version, and one for the home console versions.A similar 'miss' scene, however, was kept, where a dinosaur rips off her bikini with its teeth, although nothing inappropriate is seen. Although the sequence is non-explicit (i.e., no one ever sees anything), it was nonetheless 'suggestive', and was replaced by the 'slash' miss (usually occurring when she gets attacked by an opponent with a 'bladed' weapon) in order to keep the game 'family-friendly'. The miss sequence in question involves one of the bikers slicing part of her top, 'compromising' her.

It involves one of the future stages where Reika is chased by a 'biker gang'. One miss scene was cut from the Mega and Sega CD versions.Many (though not all) of the game's 'miss' sequences involve Reika becoming super deformed.Unique to this particular game, at certain points, Reika would call for a 'time stop,' and the player would be confronted with three choices, only one of which allowed them to continue onward (the other two would result in a 'miss' animation playing attributed to the incorrect choice). The player can change directions, jump, shoot, etc., but everything is controlled during the never-ending fluent motion of Reika. The player watches animations of the heroine while she travels through levels, and overcome obstacles by pushing the correct button at the right moment (as one would in the aforementioned Dragon's Lair). She must get the time machine back, and save the world! In this globe-trotting FMV adventure, she must cross 16 stages that take her from prehistoric times to future realms and even to historical events such as World War II. The heroine, Reika Kirishima, the 'Time Gal' of the title, is a skillful and pretty scientist on a mission to chase Luda through different time periods, and stop him from assuming control of all history. The evil Luda has stolen a time machine and plans to use it to take over the world.
