I'm finally gonna get this game! (for SNES). I found someone who's selling it together with a converter (since it was never released in europe), and he swears it works perfectly on a european PAL-Snes.
I can't wait! I've heard so many wonderful things about this game. And all the screenshots i've seen look way better than what i thought the SNES was capable of. I'm so excited :-) If all goes well i'm gonna pick it up tomorrow.
It'll be a three hour trip to get to his house, but it'll be worth it... hopefully :-p
It comes without a box or manual though. So if there is anything written in the manual that i should know beforehand, please feel free to share.

"traveling 3 hrs to get it...i dunno... "
Well this may be my only chance to get this game at a somewhat reasonable price... i figured it's worth it. Besides... what's three hours really? :-p I'll just bring my discman and a copy of druqks or something, and time'll fly by!
never heard of a ntsc > pal snes converter,"
Yeah they exist alright. Back in the days when i used to rent SNES-games once in a while, sometimes i'd get an american cartridge with one of them. You stick two cartridges in... a european PAL cartridge to "fool" the SNES, and in the other slot the american one. Problem is they sometimes wouldn't work with some of the games. Which is why i'm so excited this guy is selling the game + a converter he knows will work with it.
"not sure if i'd trust a converter either"
Yeah that is a little scary. I also remember from my renting-days that they used to get incredibly hot if you used them for a couple of hours. They are by no means official nintendo-products, so it's always a risk. But i have two SNES's :-p A heavily-used old one that's all dirty and scratched. And another one that's hardly been used and is like new. I'll just play Chrono Trigger on the old one :-)
"did you get this off of ebay?"
Sort of a dutch version of ebay...
"whats your connetion with this guy?"
Don't know him at all... hence the 3 hour trip! I could have just let him send it over, but i'd rather see it in action before i hand over the cash.

Damnit, i wish this guy would mail me already! I wanna know if we're still on for tomorrow (me picking up the chrono trigger). Now that i've gotten myself so hyped up about it i must have it!
"neat updating your avatar."
Yeah thanks. Another xltronicguy named BIG put patrick in there for me. He also made me an animated version of it but i can't get that one to upload :-/

i have a joy-ridged snes, and a psx controllder that can hook into my printer port. so when i play snes games, i can throw down in style. and my monitor is decent too, so it's pretty bad ass.
not to mention sound!!! creative megaworks 6.1 surround! pretty decent!

it's a snes rom that's set inbetween chrono trigger, and cross. It's not all that great, and infact 'causes chrono cross to lose it's luster.
not really the master if you'd never played radical dreamers. :P

Probably from anywhere you can download a ROM.
It's actually a text adventure, if my memory serves, and some of the text kind of complicates the Chrono macroverse's timeline.
Not very highly recommended.

sorry man; didn't mean to get so brash. i took offence to you putting radical dreamers in quotes (implying i was making shit up).
it is text based, and does suck. i dont' sugest it, but if you're to claim mastery level of anything others who challenge you expect you to be just that, a master. Putting it in quotes told me that you had no clue what i was talking about, and any laman with a internet connect and at least google it and pretend to have known about it the whole time.
sorry, i was ACTUALLY looking for a fight eairlier for being skrewed out of 700$$$$!!!! here on tokyo, and i have yet to ease things out.

chrono trigger is without a doubt one of my favourite rpg's of all time. it was one of the first games i played that actually encouraged replay value with multiple endings and the new game+ mode. plus there's SO much to do in that game, and the final boss is fairly challenging. do have fun.
magus is my favourite character, btw.

Are you serious? Have you never heard of the Super Nintendo? It was Nintendo's 16bit console and it was awesome :-)
norwegian link
Alot of those old SNES-games are now being re-released on the GameBoy Advance. Imo it really says something about the quality of the game if they can still sell 1000's of copies of a game more than 10 years after it's original release :-)
(which is nice ofcourse, but i'd like it even more to see them release something completely new for Gameboy Advance, but that's a different topic altogether).

you know that chronotrigger is ported onto the PS1 and you can easily buy it on a Playstayion 1 game. Its great, I have it.
The game is VERRRRRRY fucking good, always loved that one.

Well i've got it! :-D The converter works flawlessly, thank god for that!
I can't get over how ugly those amercian snes-cartridges look though :-p So blocky and not-streamlined and a dirty grey color... hm.
Well, i'm not particularly far in the game yet, i only had time to test if everything worked properly. I just woke up and apparantly someone wants to show me an invention or something. Later tonight i'll play with it some more and see how the story will develop.
Yeah i know about your poster ophecks, you've talked about it many times. Infact it was probably all your talk about this game that made me want it so badly :-p
And now that i've got the converter, i could probably get Earthbound too (if i can find it). If i remember correctly that's the other great snes-rpg you're crazy about :-p

Infact it has moved in the last 8 years. A long time ago (but not as long as 8 years) someone on xltronic wanted to see it, and you took it off your wall so you could make a photograph of it with your webcam :-p
Don't try to deny it, because you know i'll search for the thread to prove i'm right... if necesary ;-)

And I just want to remind you how awesome I am because I have it. Whoever else still has it, is also awesome.
And yeah, Earthbound is the second best SNES RPG (hence, the second best RPG ever by default). Definitely look it up... last I heard, it was supposed to be released on GBA with the first Earthbound (Mother) in a 2 for 1 deal... but that game isn't popular enough here so we may never see it over here. :_-(

hey i recognise that! That's the picture that's also on the cartridge :-)
Is that the poster that's supposed to come for free with the game? I've seen *complete* versions of it being sold for ridiculous prices, which were said to include: the box, the booklet & a poster.
Awesome poster anyways. Only videogame-related poster i ever had on my walls was from Super Mario Bros 3 when it was just released. But my mom accidently tore it :-o

I've still got all the documentation (BEAUTIFUL booklet!), but unfortunately, my box hasn't survived too well. I sat on it once. Or twice. It's flattened, but I've got it.
Yeah, Japanese carts always look leaner and meaner. I have a converter for the NES, came with one of those cheap-o (yet AWESOME) 31 in 1 (and 51, and 101) Japanese games.
Here's the arse-end of the poster.
