30 Classic SNES Games You Must Play Before You Die
27. Chrono Trigger
Arguably Squaresoft's finest hour, Chrono Trigger's time-travelling RPG is an absolute must-play. Chrono's journey to save the world from catastrophe explores a variety of time-meddling concepts, like paradoxes and future altering events, without getting too convoluted - it's basically the SNES equivalent of Back To The Future.
The superb turn-based gameplay is heavily addictive and is surprisingly tactical - characters can combine Tech Moves to unleash devastating combos, especially advantageous in defeating enemies who have grouped up.
It's easy to write the game off as a Final Fantasy clone but rather than simply copying Square's premier series, Chrono Trigger built its own legacy and remains one of the greatest games playable on the SNES.
