help Time Crisis FAQ
What made Time Crisis different from other arcade light-gun shooters?
Namco's 1995 arcade game used a foot pedal that let players duck behind cover, reload, and avoid enemy fire. That cover pedal made timing and exposure part of the core mechanic instead of just aiming at the screen.
Who is Richard Miller trying to rescue in Time Crisis?
Richard Miller is sent to rescue Rachel MacPherson, who has been kidnapped during the game's coup plot. The mission sends him through timed stages against soldiers and bosses, ending with the recurring villain Wild Dog.
What platforms had the original Time Crisis?
The original game began as a 1995 arcade release from Namco. It later came to PlayStation with support for the GunCon light gun, which made the cover-and-shoot rhythm playable at home on CRT televisions.
How does the timer work in Time Crisis?
Each area gives the player a strict countdown, and clearing a wave of enemies adds time for the next section. If the timer reaches zero, Richard Miller loses a life even if the player has avoided bullets.
