These could be games that left a lasting impression on you, games that had stellar gameplay mechanics, characters that captivated you, games that you played tons of hours on, etc.

When I was a kid I used to walk to the movie store to rent games. I would go back every time I had money and rent Chrono Trigger, but some one would always erase my save, so I would have to start over.

On my birthday I got a check from my grandma that was for 50 dollars. I walked right up to the game store and slammed my check on the counter for one copy of Chrono Trigger. I didn’t know how money, checks, or sales tax worked.

Luckily, my mom bailed me out. I played that game for years. I still have such fond memories of that game.

I love Chrono Trigger. I still listen to the OST at least once a month.

It’s amazing that CT never spawned an ongoing franchise. Aside from the controversial CC, there have been no other followups or even remakes, only a remaster. It’s like the platonic ideal of a JRPG, sitting alone and unsullied in the timestream.

Honestly though, how do you even follow it up? That game had a ridiculous dev team.

  • Akira Toriyama - creator/Artist of Dragon Ball
  • Nobuo Uematsu - Writer of (many) Final Fantasy scores
  • Yūji Horii - game designer and scenario writer from Dragon Quest
  • Hironobu Sakaguchi - Game director/designer/producer of Final Fantasy
  • Kazuhiko Aoki - (Getting this whole gang together)
