Contra with Time Travel!Time Slip is a 1993 Run-and-Gun game for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, developed by The Sales Curve and published by Vic Tokai.Set in the distant year of 2145, a race of aliens from Planet Tirmat, called the Tirmatians, discovered a space portal - or a "rift", as the game describes - leading from Tirmat to Earth, and sends their explorers and ambassadors to our world.Meanwhile, humans currently researching intergalactic portals and about to reach a breakthrough makes First Contact with the Tirmatian leaders; an alliance is quickly established between humans and Tirmatians, with the Tirmatians agreeing to help humans in re-creating the space portal leading between earth and other worlds, on the condition that Tirmatians are allowed to set up their bases and research facilities on our world.Two years later, everything the Tirmatians promised turns out to be a lie, for instead of achieving a mutual breakthrough in science, the Tirmatians are actually plotting an invasion to take over our world, and use the time portals created via an amalgamation of human and Tirmatian technology to travel to the past, rewrite earth's history, and drag humanity back to the stone age for ease of domination.When the Tirmatians decide to launch an ambush to wipe out mankind's defenses first, all hope lies in the player's protagonist, Dr. Vincent Gilgamesh, who managed to hijack a Time Machine and escape into the past to stop the invasion.Despite its title, the game is not related to the British TV series of the same name.For more time-travelling madness, check out Spinal Breakers, Ninja Commando and Time Soldiers. | |

| Time Slip (Video Game) / int_423a91bd | comment |
Uncle Sam Wants You: Towards the end credits, a shot of an empty streets in the aftermath of the Tirmatian invasion shows a resistance poster declaring, "Your Planet Needs You".

Meaningful Name | |
| Time Slip (Video Game) / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: The protagonist, Dr. Vincent Gilgamesh, named after the hero of a Mesopotamian epic and a saviour of mankind. The Tirmatian invading ship (which the last stage is set in) is called the Torquemada, very likely named after Tomas de Torquemada, a 15th-Century Spanish Friar that homogenized religious practices in the Spanish Inquisition. | |

| Time Slip (Video Game) / int_92cca75b | comment |
Ret-Gone: In the game's Good Ending, it's revealed that after Vincent destroys the Tirmatian control center, a time-wave effectively prevents the Tirmatians from even existing, let alone discovering the temporal time-warp allowing Tirmatians to locate earth in the first place, therefore ensuring the Tirmatians never even meet the humans. As such, the entire invasion that followed never occured, and earth is now back to it's normal state. | |

Living Statue: Egypt have a building-sized statue of Set which inexplicably comes alive and attacks Vincent, serving as the stage's boss, though it's probably a weapon modified by the Tirmatians. | |

Mummy: The stage in Egypt which brings Vincent into a pyramid predictably have a few mummies as enemies. Though, surprisingly they do not appear as frequently as expected, with the entire stage's mummy enemies being countable on one hand. | |

Spread Shot | |
| Time Slip (Video Game) / int_d3c2c6b2 | comment |
Spread Shot: A classic power-up, this game have one which allows Vincent to fire bullets in spreads of three per shot. It's especially useful in areas where enemies are trickier to hit, e.g. when Vincent is climbing up a wall and mooks are on hovering platforms above him, the angle from spread-out rounds will handily take down enemies otherwise out-of-reach. | |
