Tama: Adventurous Ball in Giddy Labyrinth (たま) is a puzzle game for the Sega Saturn. It was a launch title for the console in Japan, and coincidentally was also a launch title for its main rival, the Sony PlayStation.

It is a relatively simple puzzle game, where players tilt a board in an to get a ball to the goal. With flat shaded polygons and a low frame rate, it is not said to be a great example either console's hardware put to good use.
