amlabella says: "Ever had the longing to travel through time? If so, you probably found it difficult; due to the fact most don’t know how to build a time machine.

Chrono Trigger is in a state of old school RPG equilibrium; it's balanced just right."

The SNES had had a good run. Its library included some of the greatest games ever, and even to this day is considered the preferred console for the RPG gamer. "

ratking says: "If you are a fan of the classic games, then most likely you have heard of Chrono Trigger. Very few games were more succesful and had more cult fans than one of Squares greatest accomplishes. Square is most known for their Final Fantasy series, however those are not the only RPG's they created. They also created Crono Trigger, as one of their last games for the SNES.
