Game Pile - #3 - Chrono Trigger (Super Nintendo)


#3 - Chrono Trigger (Super Nintendo)

This is one of the few valuable games I own that I just can't manage to sell! I think I bought it back when I was working at Disc Replay in Lexington -- it was either $150 or $250. It might have been in the same trade as my copies of Panzer Dragoon Saga and Pokemon Box. Either way, our employee discount made it into a really great deal so I just couldn't stop from picking up a CIB Chrono Trigger. Seriously, I didn't even have a Super Nintendo growing up but I cut my teeth on ROMs and emulation with this game. It was one of the first RPGs past Pokemon that I really put time into and finished. Lots of memories playing this in my grandma's living room on her old Dell desktop... Anyways, I have a certain level of emotional attachment to this game so I doubt I'll let it go unless we just really need the cash or we decide to sell everything and move to Japan lol. I've probably spent more time with Chrono Cross if I consider the length of the games and how much time I spent on them as a kid, but Trigger was so good that I played through the PS1 version without complaining. I remember reading around GameFAQs and seeing people complain about the 3-5 second long load times before battles and I don't think I even noticed it until then -- even though I had played through the SNES version by then! Maybe the game's just that good...
