Chrono Trigger, the best RPG ever made

[econ21]

A truly timeless and excellent game to be sure Bijo, but my #1 favorite SNES game of all time goes (to a slim margin, there were sooooo many good games) to Secret of Mana.

I'd loved that game too. My first task of video RPGs until I got to the good stuff on PCs. The music was excellent and the world it created rather wonderful. It's rather hard to go back to now, though, once you are used to KOTOR and the like.

Nooooooo!!! Don't say that! You can and should always be able to go back to your old favorites for a nice stroll down memory lane. There's literally dozens of games spanning the past decade+ that are in my "rotation". Stuff like Final Fantasy 4 & 6, Deus Ex, Fallout 1 (and 2 now with killap's patch), System Shock 2, KOTOR, Rune, all in my list just to name a few.

The cool thing is that depending on how often you get a new PC, when you go back to play these games again you can keep bumping up your settings until you theoretically "max out" the game graphically. And there's always the odd project or two, like the opengl DLL rewrite for Deus Ex that adds a new life to the game. Stuff like this makes them all worth going back and playing again. To be fair though, I sometimes fall victim to the "graphics bug" as well, some stuff just gets... y'know, painful, to look at.
