Chrono Trigger: Prophet's Guile

Chrono Trigger: Prophet's Guile, by Kajar Laboratories. A rather impressive romhack that shows what happened to Magus between the battle against him in his castle and the disaster in the Ocean Palace, when he was playing prophet for Queen Zeal. The game is really short--the game clock was at just under an hour when I finished it. Still, I'll give serious credit to the hackers for the sheer amount of text they re-wrote and details they were careful about, and for managing to put this together in the first place, really. The sequences you play are interspersed with scenes of Crono and company, and what they're doing at the same "time" as these events.

( It's easy to pick apart everything when there isn't that much to begin with. )

This was a neat idea, and a fun use of an hour. Kinda pointless if you haven't played Chrono Trigger, of course. Rumor has it that a complete version of the Chrono Trigger: Crimson Echoes patch leaked; perhaps I'll hunt that down at some point.
