Now, there's a whole debate to be had about virtual d-pads and buttons for action-heavy games on both iOS and Android, but the reaction-based nature of games like Space Ace and Road Blaster make them an ideal fit for smartphones, as does their brevity- they're usuallY quite short, ideal for a quick go on the train.
Yes, one way to visualise the march of technological progress in the field of video games is to witness a game that originally played on a LaserDisc player, on a piece of media big enough to eat dinner off, condensed to play on that little screen you carry around in your pocket. We're not the most up-to-date when it comes to iOS games, but you know what genre works really well on mobiles? Oh, and thanks to Ultra Powerful Pal of Gaming Hell, Kimimi, for double-checking this and making sure we weren't talking out of our rear ends like we usually do. Anyway, here's Time Gal's page on the Google Play Store, so you can see for yours- hey, wait! The price is in Pounds! Could we have done it this way the whole time?! Bloody hellfire, that's way easier! Also, Time Gal (and the other Taito Classics games) are also available on Android, but the version we tested was on iOS, so while we can assume they're the same, we have no way of telling. Anyway, since we took these using the handy screenshot function of the iPhone, you can click them to make them large and impressive.
Did we seriously put off writing about Time Gal because the fan-made reconstruction wasn't 'authentic enough' for us? God, it's like we're a bunch of insufferable nerds.
