Terranigma is one of my favorite SNES games! It is a truly awesome adventure and so underrated!
I played through a lot of fan translations and obscure games when I first discovered emulation. E.V.O Search for Eden is another weird, unique RPG from that era, which I highly recommend!
All 3 games got official English translations. Soul Blazer and Gaia were released in the US and Europe, but Terranigma for whatever reason was only released in Europe. I’m so glad emulation came around and opened up access to so many region-locked games.
One of my cool older cousins was playing this one christmas when we went to his house! I was vaguely disappointed when we went back the next year and he was like “oh yeah that was fun but i beat it and don’t play it anymore.” Little kid brain assumed the game just went on for much longer than it does. Playing it together (ie: taking turns) is a fond childhood memory for me, though.
My mind went straight to the SNES too, but with Chaos Seed, the feng shui dungeon building oddity. I have a feeling people might be familiar with SNESdrunk around here, though.
I don’t believe I played it, but I remember that box art. They probably had it on the shelves of my local blockbuster video. I think it might have also been a cover feature in Nintendo power.
The Illusion of Gaia for SNES. I don’t know anyone who has heard of it.
I still have the T-shirt that came with the box set!
It was a weird game, honestly.
I think the other two games in that series (Terranigma) didn’t get official English versions, but there are fanslations if you want to play them.

Yep, know about it. But I was more of a ‘Secret of Mana’ and ‘Secret of Evermore’ person myself.
Rented Illusion of Gaia so many times!

That’s how I played originally was renting it. The box art was awesome.
I think I might’ve seen a copy of that at a retro used game store near me here recently.
I had it as a kid. I remember really liking it.
What a blast from the past. I actually owned it. Named my cockatiel shadow after the character in the game.
Good times.
Interesting in Pal regions it is called Illusion of Time.
I also found a fan remake on itch.io
Wow. I watch YouTubers who talk about the SNES, and it gets brought up all the time in those circles!
I replay that game every couple of years, one of my all time favorites. My brother still had the cartridge.
Now I’m gonna need to play when I get back home, thanks stranger!
