I have one distinct memory of renting it and that was starting someone's saved game in the Black Omen and fighting something like the Terramutant. I was an avid reader of Nintendo Power and they never really hyped the game like they did Secret of Mana (in magazine strategy guide spanned multiple issues and they had a poster). I'm not sure if I had ever even heard of the game before, I might have blind rented it for all I can remember. I'm pretty sure the first time I ever played Chrono Trigger was when I rented it from the local Video Spotlight. I'm a sucker for celebrating anniversaries, so here's my tribute to the best game ever. This is as good as time as any since Chrono Trigger was released 15 years ago in Japan (and August of 1995 in North America). This was the first piece of Gaming Nostalgia I ever wrote, but it's been sitting on the back-burner until the right moment. I have chosen never to buy the PSX version for a few reasons. They each have their unique story that I will tell. I currently own three copies of the game, one for the Super Nintendo, one for the Super Famicon, and finally the re-release on the Nintendo DS. That's over half of my life, and considering the hundreds of games I've played, I think it is an awesome accomplishment that one has reigned for so long. I love the game to its full extent and no other game has really ever even come close to unseating it over the last 15 years. I will readily admit that Chrono Trigger is my favorite game of all time.
