I missed out on that game when it first released, but my best friend had rented it at Blockbuster (apparently the one copy they had wound up stolen later on) and told me that it was great. I was like fourteen, it was 1997, and FFVII had made me obsessed with JRPGs and I NEEDED to find a copy of Chrono Trigger. I spent MONTHS trying to track down a copy. This was before the internet as we know it today and so I had to scour flea markets and garage sales. I grew up in Orlando and there weren't really used video game stores around. But I remember driving with my mom somewhere and seeing a sign on a shop that said "used video games." Walked in and there was a copy, in the box. I think I paid like $40 for it.
Incredible game. Might be more incredible because of the quest to find it.
