Where fiction collides.
Ever heard of that classic RPG called Chrono Trigger? It showed up on the video game scene once upon a time for the SNES, and set a standard for its descendants in its genre henceforth. Yeah, you know what I’m talking about. Or you should. It’s a damn great game.
Why is CT a damn great game? Hop on over to Spawn Kill and check out my review of the DS version.
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.
