I’ve done just about everything and I’m just about to take on Lavos.

I started playing Chrono Trigger+ because of all the posts I saw on r/sbcgaming. Seeing as how it’s my fav game of all time, I decided to play it again (guesstimating for the 9th time since playing it as a kid).

My notes on my experience this time around.

  • so amazing to be able to take screenshots, like a modern console
  • the menu system still holds up. swapping people out of your party and moving items between party members is very smooth (some of these older games are REALLY bad)
  • I did some fast forwarding to speed up battles. The live battle system makes this a little challenging sometimes
  • the music in Zeal still slaps
  • CT+ has a bar/cafe area in the End of Time not in the original game
  • graphics still look amazing like they did back in the day.

    I’n not a huge fan of CT+ compared to vanilla. The writing for the new content just doesn’t hold a candle to vanilla IMO.

      played the other versions; the only reason I played the game again was because someone mentioned this ROM hack. It was alright

      Yes! I love playing hacks to see new locations, new unlockables, etc, but so much of the writing doesn’t match the tone of the game. It’s where a lot of hacks fall down. I absolutely appreciate the mountain of work the creators do, but it totally takes me out when the writing doesn’t match the quality everywhere else.
