Gameplay
Gamera: The Time Adventure is a full-motion video (FMV) game, utilizing interactive footage from all eight films of the Showa Gamera series. In the game, the Zanon suddenly appears and threatens Earth. Gamera, a monster from the past, inexplicably appears as well, but all historical records of the monster have been lost. To determine if Gamera is friend or foe, the player travels through time utilizing a time machine/spacecraft known as the Plasma Blue and returns to key moments in Gamera's history, where the player is to collect "time records" while being assisted by Ayako, the spacetime controller. Throughout the game, the player will be prompted to choose what characters to interact with, with different paths resulting from their choices. Quick time events also pop up frequently, often prompting the player to attack enemy monsters. If the player fails to collect every time record in each level by choosing the wrong paths, they must repeat the level and gather all time records to move on. Each level represents a different film in order of their release year, beginning with Gamera's debut appearance as the first level.

Trivia
- The game features every single Gamera monster from the Showa film series, albeit solely through movie stock footage.
- While all live-action footage outside of scenes with Ayako Fujitani consists of archival footage, there are numerous instances of the Plasma Blue and the time records (which appear as orbs) being superimposed over movie footage at various points throughout the game.
- A trailer for the then-recent Gamera the Guardian of the Universe plays at the end of the game.
- The game's cover art features every Shōwa Gamera kaiju except Barugon. Coincidentally, this would be the exact lineup of monsters in GAMERA -Rebirth-, nearly 30 years later.
