The original PS1 version. I’ve never played the remake but I really like the concept behind the tyrant. Ensuring I’ll never play it xD

I don’t think it’s fair to say not to bother with Chrono Cross but I do agree it’s important to stress how unrelated to Chrono Trigger it is. As a sequel it fails. But as its own stand alone JRPG, I think it’s great.

Personally I love Chrono Cross and how different it was. And the music is ridiculously good (Yasunori Mitsuda main Chrono Trigger composer.)

I think it’s worth a go. It starts you somewhere in the middle of the story so you get action straight away. So anyone who tries it will know quickly if it will be up their alley without having to invest too much time.

Windjammers is awesome. If you’re ever looking to try a different game that’s similar-ish, Bang Bead for Neo-Geo is also great!

Oh man I haven’t thought about this game in years. I grew up with the NES version. Such a fun game with awesome music. Now that I think about it, I don’t think I ever even played the original arcade version. Thanks for the post, fantastic write up :)

Recently fished out my PSP-1000 from my closet only to find the battery ready to pop. Need to look into disposing of it now before anything bad happens -_-

I remember getting to the police station, exploring a little bit, and then immediately noping out of playing the game 😅

Ooooh I’ve loved all their NES titles. They always have such great art and music. They are NES coding wizards.

Geez my first encounter startled me good. Very much a jump scare.

Testing commenting without losing place ;)

It’s much older but the RE1 remake for GameCube has that same stressful (in a good way) gameplay you’re describing. Looks pretty good for how old it is too in my opinion. It’s the only RE game I’ve finished cause I’m a wimp 😅
