Chrono Trigger

This game is truly a classic in every respect, with the most memorable characters ever featured in an RPG and a storyline that surpasses that of any other game in its genre. Since the release of Chrono Trigger many other interesting and unique games have emerged with graphics so advanced that in comparison Chrono Trigger is almost laughable. Therefore if you're only interested in appearance then this is the wrong game for you, however if you are interested in original RPG's with a compelling storyline then I assure you that Chrono Trigger remains unrivalled.

{Warning: plot summary} The underlining plot is simplistic in that a group of teenagers stumble upon a time gate where they learn of an oncoming threat that will destroy the world in 1999, and subsequently decide to join forces to prevent the demise of there beloved planet {end of plot summary}. However the game features so many twists that the storyline is never predictable and the multiple endings available, enable the game to alter according to the players own personality. Side quests and a special New Game+ option (accessible once completing the game) also enhance its replay value.

Furthermore the characters integrate into the storyline magnificently, with each having there own side quests that allow for immense character development. The game illustrates the emotions and ambitions of each character which gives the player a true understanding of each playable character and there relationship with the others in the group.

It should also be noted that although the graphics in Chrono Trigger are now dated, at the time they were impressive in comparison to other RPG games released for the SNES. The character designs also blend in well with the personality of the characters. Therefore it's no surprise Chrono Trigger has such an enormous fan base and I can certainly say that it has established itself as one of my favourite games of all time.

This game has everything you possibly want in game like great Characters,amazing story and beautiful graphics.This is in my Top 5 favorite games of all time.When I first played this game I was very amazed how great a game can be that a lot of people didn't even know about.The more I play Chrono Trigger the more I love it.This is the most underrated game I ever played in my whole life.One thing I really like about this game is that is really long.This game is good in every category there is in games.I hope sooner or later SQUARESOFT does a true sequel for this great game.A Classic forever.I give it a:(A+)

This game is honestly legendary....a game with really great and memorable characters that are very well written and very well developed, the story is just amazing...possibly the greatest time travelling story I have ever experienced. People of imdb, thank you so much, the fact that this game is still at a rating of 9.5 really says a lot...if I had never read these reviews I wouldve never known or even tried the game...so again...thank you.

This may be a hard to find game for the Super Nintendo, but it's a great one. Crono is a boy who meets a peculiar girl in the Millenial Fair, and the two of them go to see his friend Lucca's new invention that's being shown off at the fair. However, something goes terribly wrong, and the girl he meets (Marle,) gets transported back into 600AD. Crono goes into the transport as well to save her. After Crono has been transported, Lucca also transport back into 600AD to help Crono, and to tell him that Marle is the princess of the nearby castle of their village! Once they save her, Marle asks Crono to escort her home. When they come to the castle Marle lives in, the people accuse Crono of kidnapping her, and bring him to trial. He is put into jail for a couple of days, and will be executed afterwords. Lucca comes in to help Crono again, and the two of them escape into the nearby forest, with Marle joining them as well. While running away from the guards and Chancellor, they find another transport, this one taking them into 2300AD. They find the world to be very dark and depressing. It seems as if technology and monsters have overtaken man. While further exploring the area, they find a computer that shows them how the earth had been attacked by a monster named Lavos in 1999, which left it in its sorry state. Devastated, Marle, Lucca, and Crono swear that they will not let this happen to the world, no matter what it takes. Their heroic quest takes them to many different areas of time, including the End of Time. They meet many new friends to help them along the way, including Robo, Frog, Ayla, and the dark magician and former enemy Magus. They also help out many generations of people along the way, all in order to stop the evil that has corrupted the world since the dawn of time. This is one of the best video games ever made, and you should really give it a try.

Play it if you haven't. If you haven't played then you are missing the single best game ever made. After all, a dream-team game between the Dragon Warrior(Quest) people and the Final Fantasy people would have to hold the title of "BEST GAME EVER CREATED".
