okay so this finally came in the mail today which we've been waiting up for some time this is one of my favorite games they came out during the SNES era and it's a video open wanting to work on and I actually never had it on the original lesson yes I only played remakes on the PlayStation on the DS so finally order it for the Super Nintendo cruncher yes what is chrono trigger so chrono trigger is an old RPG from SNES I actually just realized I was looking it up earlier it's gonna be almost its 20th anniversary from when it came out which was not intentional what I said I want to do this video I was just sort of like oh hey eight years old when this came out but I wouldn't have known because you were a Sega kid yes poor deprived child oh man Sega man so there's a lot of screwing around I could do here but I'm gonna just kind of do them oh yeah now this guy was what's his deal that Harry its Goku that's actually okay so Toriyama the guy that does Dragon Ball and all that stuff he was the artist for this so that's why like if you look at portrait its red-haired Goku like flat-out this is one of the best games on the SNES but I don't know if it's one that like was a universal you know oh if you had an S and yes this was the game that you knew you know it's like a Mario equivalent it wasn't my fault though but you weren't in Tendo no because my mom got me one and then the duck hunter was the first game I ever played and I couldn't stop playing it and between me and my brother we ended up fighting over it and of course she said that's it like that's just going back back to the store didn't have a console eventually got a Genesis right I actually have no memory of like when I got what system were went because I think most of them were bought for Josh's benefit initially and then I just kind of kept playing them as time went on I was using the more than he was okay so this was one of the things that was awesome about this game so if you ever played in like old-school Final Fantasies or even recent games - yeah a lot of them did that random encounter the thing where you know you're walking around the screen almost sudden everything shakes yeah and now you're in a random endless hallway fighting guys with this one kids blur ation and combat are in the same place okay I'm waiting for my turn so it's still turn-based guys but it all happens on the same screen okay so like when you run into an enemy you know you pull your weapon out combat starts music starts and then when it's over you go right back to exploration and there's no awkward pause in the middle of that you know there's like a split-second of loading in and out of the fight yeah it's not like this thing that just interrupts your day and angers you over time and instead of the mole being random all the encounters are intentional you know some of them aren't avoidable like this one yeah oh there's others where it's like yeah there's a guard just don't get seen by them or so you can't avoid I couldn't if I hide this one but there's some you kid yeah once again one of the things this game did is that it didn't really hold your hand too much with where you need to go mm-hmm there's definitely some linear parts the farther you get but early on it kind of just throws you places and forces you to explore and talk to people and figure out were you're supposed to go something that a lot of more recent games don't do anymore some of them hold your hand you know oh go here follow the subjective point yeah yeah and these these ones you could look up a guide to know where to go but most the time you'd end up talking to everyone in town to get an idea of where you're supposed to go one of the things that makes this game great too it's not just like what I was saying earlier though you know oh it did certain things differently that just really meshed well but it's also one of those situations where it kind of just hit all the right points simultaneously yeah you know it's sort of the the music was good the visuals were good the plots great it's got this great mixture of sort of being you know very kid-friendly but then these random really Solem kind of adult moments that's well done so yeah just for its time and just kind of what it all hit simultaneously is a classic I mean it's kind of crazy when you think about it because this game has been remade twice now okay you can get on the PlayStation and you grab it on DS and even with those remakes existing that doesn't affect the fact that the original is out there and people want to get that original yeah and pay more for it you know there's a lot of if you hunt for like old SNES games you can find a lot for you know 30 to 60 reps depending what they are this one you know looking on Amazon like a hundred bucks right 120 inches yeah and that's for just the cartridge that's not getting a box a manual nothing oh you're not like see what if you find one pristine like oh like sealed stove those those were going for like a grand geez yeah if you can find a pristine one stone so yeah we had fun in hunting this down for which you are yeah segways right so yeah the reason why did we decide to hunt this down is like I was saying earlier this is one of my top three favorite games of all time and the style of video I really want to start getting into is talk about you know like retro classics games that like you know from your childhood Rossum but the point is to kind of re-examine them and see if you know going back today if they're still great because some games just don't age well something that you know they might have done something cool back when they came out but now it's just been done to death in later games yeah you know or you just played it as a kid never realized oh this is actually kind of bad yeah so or Jaime I've never never seen it yeah well that's actually I want to do later ones where you know it's a game I've never played just so there's that pure like no nostalgia going on but because this one was just such a huge classic for me and I just know it so well and I really do argue that I think this game holds its age really well compared a lot of other games yeah so I want to start with this because it's just you know one of my favorites and then go from there so yeah that's just a little sneak peek at us plank row sugar and me explain John why it's awesome I'm gonna do a more full video we're actually kind of do the end up of how everything's aged you know what about it is so great and why it still works today so make sure to scrub if you haven't yet so you don't miss out on that and thumbs up as well
