I always hear AMAZING things about Chrono Trigger. I have been meaning to pick it up however can someone please formally explain why people argue that this is one of if not the best video game of all time?
Fantastic battle and game mechanics that are familiar, yet feel very fresh, with innovative dual and triple techs you can pull off with certain party members. Wonderfully fleshed out world, with time travelling that hasn't been done as well before or since. Fantastic characters, among them perhaps the best anti-hero of all time. Perhaps the best soundtrack in a game ever, and artwork by Akira Toriyama of Dragon Ball fame. Amazing story with multiple different choices in the game and about a dozen endings.
@WaveBoy: Yeah I am pretty bummed about TimeWalk, I have 2 games from them and currently have 2 more on order. All are SNES of course though I was looking forward to getting some NES games from them as well.
I love Actraiser, maybe its nostalgia and one of those first big SNES games I experienced back in the day but I just dig its style. The sim stages don't really bother me and I actually think they are kind of a fun and provide a quick change of pace. I appreciate games (probably even more now then back then) that experimented and tried to do things a little differently. Ever try Actrasier 2?
To blessed to be stressed.
80's music makes me feel fabulous.

Not long ago I finally got a GBA. That was the only Nintendo system I skipped entirely (unless we count GBC...but I don't) and I'm excited to dig into the library of games.
I already picked up a few I knew I wanted, so aside from the following games, what should I track down? (I have the Ambassador games on my 3DS, so don't count those either I guess.)
@Philip_J_Reed
Activision Anthology. Yes, it's less of an "actual" GBA game, being a collection of most of Activision's Atari 2600 games, but it's an excellent perfect collection and definitely worth owning.
Drill Dozer! It'll probably never come to the vortual console since it has a Rumble Pak.
Astro Boy: Omega Factor and Gunstar Super Heroes are musts, too.
@Philip_J_Reed - Almost forgot, Boktai 1 & 2 are great Stealth/Action games, with an emphasis on action. Unlike, say, Metal Gear Solid, the combat's actually pretty nice, with plenty of RPG-like customization options.
Speaking of which, do you like RPGs and/or Strategy games? Because if so I got a LOT to recommend.
@CanisWolfred
Interesting...not familiar with Boktai. I'll check those out.
Regarding RPGs and Strategy, neither are my favorite genre, but I have nothing against either of them, and have outright loved a handful of titles. Bring em on!
@WaveBoy
mr gimmick and splatterhouse sd are good games, and bio miracle is a good game too. you should get that on vc.
i too, dont care for actraiser much myself...

@WaveBoy
never played ghost busters 2, as for the sites, i dont know about putting them on here but there are several ive dealt with. most of my games are not repros though. as for timewalk, there changing their name and they are up to something bigger than repros they claim. im sure it has to do with that ducktales gold edition they did...too bad you dont get on aim or anything, i could point you to a lot of people to go to

I think ActRaiser was a pretty good game, especially for being (practically) a launch game.
Sure the individual game modes could use some expansion (sure the second game fleshed out the action gameplay, but it took out the sim mode which took away a lot of the charm.
Well, I also only played a bit of the second as I recall the control needed a bit of work. They could've improved the double jump and diving by maybe adding Up/Down to distinguish the two commands.
HAL also made the Game Boy Ghostbusters II which was released in America and is similar to NGB2.
Ok so I am thinking of getting my Dreamcast collection started and am needing some suggestions. The only games I have are Shenmu and Sonic Adventures. I have Skies of Arcadia on Gamecube so I dont need that one either. Other then that I am open to any suggestions.
RetiredPush Square Moderator and all around retro gamer.
Starting to collect some retro games in anticipation for the Retron 5. Can anybody recommend me some import-friendly (And preferably, reasonably cheap) games for the Famicom, Super Famicom, Mega Drive, and Game Boy line?

@Philip_J_Reed
I know I'm a little late, but hey, it can't hurt.
As far as GBA games go, I can highly recommend the following:
Fire Emblem
Advance Wars
Castlevania: Double Pack (Harmony of Dissonance and Aria of Sorrow)
Final Fantasy I & II: Dawn of Souls
Mega Man Zero 1-4 (Alternatively, you could get the collection for the DS)
and the Sonic Advance Trilogy.
