Sounds of Nostalgia

Do we need an excuse to play old games? Hell no! But sometimes music from OSTs can inspire us to try new ones or revisit past loves like dirty, secret affairs.

Right now I’m chugging away at Chrono Trigger (DS), and I’m loving this game. I’ve played some of the original game before, but I’ve never owned it—so this will be the first time I’ve played the whole way through. Chrono Trigger boasts an excellent musical score, but the best has to be the Ocean Palace theme.

Not to mention the Ocean Palace itself is memorable. If you haven’t played Chrono Trigger, you probably have some fancy ideas of what it might look like. I certainly did (largely inspired by a certain glorious Final Fantasy dungeon and its mermaids). But yeah, you wouldn’t see this one coming.
