Episode description

In 1992, a trio of game development titans teamed up to create something never seen before. Producer Hironobu Sakaguchi, creator of Final Fantasy, joined up with writer Yuji Horii, creator of Dragon Quest, and character designer Akira Toriyama, creator of the Dragon Ball manga series. This Dream Team released one of the true classics of the SNES era: Chrono Trigger. JRPGs are big news in the gaming world, with Final Fantasy 6 and Earthbound shaking up old ideas of what's possible. Then comes Chrono Trigger. Backed by a kick-ass soundtrack and graphics that pushed the limits of the SNES console, Chrono's time-travelling adventures captured the heart of a young gaming generation.
