Chrono Trigger is undoubtedly one of the best RPGs of all time, originally releasing for the Super Nintendo in 1995 and celebrating its 20th anniversary a couple of years ago. Now the game is available to a brand new audience, with the game available on PC via Steam for $14.99.
The following is an overview of Chrono Trigger’s story:
“A chance encounter amid the festivities of Guardia’s Millennial Fair in Leene Square introduces our young hero, Crono, to a girl by the name of Marle. Deciding to explore the fair together, the two soon find themselves at an exhibition of the Telepod, the latest invention by Crono’s longtime friend Lucca. Marle, fearless and brimming with curiosity, volunteers to assist in a demonstration. An unanticipated malfunction, however, sends her hurtling through a rift in the dimensions. Taking hold of the girl’s pendant, Crono bravely follows in pursuit. But the world into which he emerges is the one of four centuries before. Journey to the forgotten past, the distant future, and even to the very End of Time. The epic quest to save a planet’s future makes history once again.”
