In the 1995 video game Gamera: The Time Adventure, which is set in "super-futuristic" times,[1] the player goes back in time to influence the events of the first seven Gamera films, then returns to the future for a final mission which utilizes scenes from Gamera Super Monster.
Heisei Trilogy continuity

- Legend (1995) - Comic by Mahiro Maeda which depicts the fall of Atlantis thousands of years before the events of Gamera the Guardian of the Universe, published in the book Gamera the Guardian of the Universe Full Record.
- Gamera (1996) - Four-issue Dark Horse miniseries set one year after Gamera the Guardian of the Universe.

Notes

- ↑ The manga's opening scene differs from that of the film. The rest of its events are set in the middle of the film, after the JSDF transports Toto to Nagoya but before Zedus attacks the city.
