The Games of my Life

Along with Final Fantasy VII, Squaresoft’s Chrono Trigger is probably my favorite console RPG ever.

Fantastic graphics, music and presentation. An original combat system, which made battles interesting until the end of the game, instead of the usual FF-like repetition (attack, attack, attack, cast spell… yawn). Great characters, and a fantastic plot, which included what is probably the best use of time travel in a computer game. Mutiple endings. No random encounters. And all that in a 16-bit cartridge game.

Hmm, I must play this game again, soon.
