Chrono Trigger (SNES, Playstation, Nintendo DS - 1995)
When gamers talk about the best years of their lives, they’re usually talking about the mid-90s. It was an exciting time to be alive. It was the junction of everything good and right in the world of gaming. The arcades had lost prevalence, but they were still there, and while platformers definitely reigned at the seat of the 16-bit empire, their dominance was not so complete that RPGs, fighters, adventure games and other genres were not given their shares of celebration and fandom. Each of us has our own personal set of milestone games that chronicled our adolescence during this era, and few games resonate quite as universally as Chrono Trigger.
