Time Crisis is a video game initially available in arcades and later released for the PlayStation and cell phones. A first person rail shooter similar to Virtua Cop and The House of the Dead, one of the distinguishing features of the arcade original was the presence of a foot pedal that controlled whether the player's character ducked behind cover (and was thus invulnerable but unable to shoot) or was in a standing position (and could thus attack but was vulnerable). Taking cover also reloaded the player's gun, whereas other games in this genre required the player to pull the trigger while pointing the gun off-screen to do so. A countdown clock, recharged by clearing an area of "bad guys", forces the player to take risks and stay up and vulnerable most of the time, shooting quickly at any enemy spotted on-sight.
