This is the only one of my "Big 3" (FFIII, Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana) I still need to get a cart for. Which is unfortunate, because Chrono Trigger is always swapping the #1 spot w/ Final Fantasy III. I do own it for the PS1 and DS though, as well as the OST, so that's a plus. I think this is one of the first games I can remember discovering it having different endings too, which blew my young mind. |

Chrono Trigger was the first game I actually read about and bought gaming magazines just to get a few pages of info or pictures. I never was much of an RPG fan until a good friend introduced me to Final Fantasy 6 aka III on the SNES. I was immediately hooked and actually saved up any money I could scrape together to buy a SNES and FFVI. This, of course addicted me to RPGs, and Square games in general for awhile. During Christmas shopping the next year, my mom and I happened to be in Best Buy where I saw my holy grail, Chrono Trigger for sale. I begged and begged my mom to buy it for me. She did, but only as a Christmas gift, which was a solid month and a half/two months away. Being a 14 year old, RPG addicted, teen, I found where she had stashed the game. So I swapped it for my copy of FFVI, and played all the way to the future where you meet Robo...This was normally when I got home from school, and before she got home. An hour or so at a time. I ended up feeling guilty about breaking our deal and deleted my save. Christmas break came, and I finally got my game, per our deal...I played it for 17 hours straight before I passed out. I still own that game, box, guide, posters and all. |

There is just something about the Super Famicom games. I love the way they look, the art, the shape and size of the boxes...I also really like the original Famicom boxes. They are so tiny compared to their NES counterparts. |

I like that some games are coming out with the reversible box art so you can have the alternate art. Seeing Chrono Trigger being 20 years old makes me feel ancient, lol. Of course I'm 34 now and can remember playing that game non-stop. Kills me now that I'm an adult, I have all of these games to play and can't decide, but when I was 14 I had four games and played them like mad. I think Chrono Trigger was the first game I started playing and beat it all ways possible without stopping or playing another game as a buffer. |

Chrono Trigger is one of the few JRPG's from those days that I actually played and beat, alongside Super Mario RPG. I'm not generally big into the sprite RPG's, but I remember really liking that game, alot of it having to do with knowing that the artwork was done by Akira Toriyama as I was a huge DBZ fan then. Would be cool if they remastered the PS1 version of the game and got new animation done for it. |
