Story:
You play as a time watcher. Your mission is to rescue time drifters that appear within the time tunnel. Time drifters journey through time and space, but if left unrescued, they will be lost forever.

How to Play:
Upon running the program, the mysterious Time Watcher theme song, composed with M5, plays while a time tunnel is displayed. Use the Z and M keys to control the left and right magic hands respectively. Catch the Time Drifters with these magic hands. Once a magic hand is used, it needs a few seconds to operate again. Each rescued Time Drifter earns you 10 points. If you miss, a diamond mark counts below. Missing three time drifters in a serial, results in game over.
