Gamers everywhere were elated that the console gaming industry had been proving for 10 years that home video gaming was viable, and the second generation of console wars was in full swing, with the Sega Genesis versus Nintendo's Super Nintendo and NEC's TurboGrafx-16 as an also-ran. While the Genesis had been released earlier, the Super Nintendo had a much more fruitful crop of role-playing games, ranging from Final Fantasy II and III (American, for the purists) to Secret of Mana to mistakes like Legend of Evermore and Paladin's Quest. The genre looked fairly well-exhausted, and all of a sudden, Squaresoft (yes, before the company merged with Enix) came out with a game called Chrono Trigger."

Hot damn that's a good list. The only one i never played is AOE2 and i never finshed Chrono Trigger but it was damn good.
Speaking of what's old but holds up amazingly well and plays like a dream.. i played Symphony of the Night for the first time in 2019.. yep that's right. It became one of my favourite games of all time that i replay almost every year. I couldn't believe how good it was. That is almost impossible for me with newer games let alone older ones. Truly a special gem.
The only one I’d disagree with is doom. It shows its age badly I think. After 5 minutes of play these days you put it down.
Yuji Horii may have accidentally confirmed a Chrono Trigger remake at Comicon in Naples. Eyewitness accounts suggest the beloved JRPG could be returning in HD-2D form.
I'm still skeptical of HD-2D, and still want them to fix remaining foibles in the current Steam version. At any rate I've been seeing online that this rumour has been debunked
I would jump for a remake of Chrono Trigger then hopefully a remake of Chrono Cross. I wish Xenogears and the Xenosaga trilogy also got a remake or a remaster.
I am surprised it hasn’t been done already. It’s widely considered as one of the best RPGs all time. I’ll take it for sure. I want a Vagrant Story remake as well
Dragon Ball staff reveal how Akira Toriyama created one of Chrono Trigger's most memorable characters as the RPG celebrates its 30th anniversary.
