A peek at GAME FREAK (Yep, *that* Game Freak!) tips 'zine issue 22 from 1985 where the solution to arcade Time Gal is lovingly and painstakingly illustrated and written out scene-by scene. 💜

A scan of the photocopied zine with an illustration of protag Reikas sat coly with legs crossed and a marker pen held in one hand, with cheeky doodles drawn over the game's villain's face and a piece of paper. "Time Stop!"

A snap of one of the pages, with painstakingly drawn recreations of hte various scenes of the QTE based animated footage gameplay with directional inputs for each of them.

Another snap of inked illustrations of Reika in one scene and line artworks in the other. Directional inputs can be seen below.

Alright, Part 2 featuring the end of I Will is now up on YT. I restart the game from the beginning and fast track to where part 1 ends but I do get a little stuck thanks to unclear triggers and me forgetting some important things. How will the story of London end? Find out youtu.be/ZwBIe9B5RmE

Stream later today, where I want to join in on the newly accessible LaserActive fun, with Ghost Rush! It's a kind of FMV dungeon crawler in a haunted mansion, and it looks fun and cute.

Finally, a game with a mystery to solve that will definitely piss you off
