Time Gal & Ninja Hayate (Saturn) price, value & rarity
On this two-disc Taito compilation, the Time Gal disc preserves the 1985 interactive laserdisc cartoon, in which Reika Kirishima sprints through eras via quick-time prompts. The Saturn restoration revives an animated arcade classic hard to keep elsewhere, and its retro-futuristic Japanese charm sustains lasting demand. A Japan-only release left untranslated, its appeal stems from the rarity of preserved laserdisc gaming and Time Gal's distinctive visual flair.
