Chrono Trigger
Considered by many to be one of the greatest RPGs of all time, Chrono Trigger is a fast turn-based game developed by Square Enix (formerly Squaresoft) that follows a young hero named Crono on a quest to save the world from an ancient being. When Crono meets a mysterious young girl sent back in time due to a malfunction at a fair attraction, he follows her back to the dark ages to bring her back home. However, Crono learns that an alien being that sleeps deep within the planet is waking – and it’ll take heroes from different time periods to save the past, present, and future.
