Radical Dreamers

Opinions?

hah. 100% the best.

only because im the only voter...

Heh, it's more like an interactive book than a game. But the soundtrack is good.

Pretty much yeah. I thought I'd try it for a change of pace. Not so Radical. But I can't knock it.

i don't have the satellaview thing or whatever it's called. and if i did i still wouldnt' get it. when i play a game i don't expect it to be a book...

You can give it a go. Just go to google.com and look for "Radical Dreamers ROM". Then go here and get the patch to translate it in english.

You need a SNES emulator for playing it though, where SNES 9x is pretty much the best.

I love it.

It's decent, but I've only beat one option, not all of them.

damn! I thought you're referring to the theme song of Chrono Cross at first.
I should've picked this option "... something I've never heard of!"

btw, "Radical Dreamers" is one of the best song!! :) I can even sing the song (with lyrics)..hehe

p/s: How can I download "Radical Dreamers ROM"? A direct link will help a lot, thanks!

I think this one will do, but I didn't test it:

Anyhow, is that just my version or is this game very, very short? I mean, the game ends in the middle of the most climatic moment.

It's short because it's a Satellaview game. At least they tried to make up for it by giving you plenty of opportunities to die and making seven different story scenarios.

I haven't played Chrono Cross yet, but the atmosphere of the game is a lot different from Chrono Trigger. It actually reminded me a little of "Thief". But seriously, they can't just end the game in the middle of the most interesting moment, i.e.(SPOILER)Kid being seperated from Serge.(not sure how much sense it makes to insert a spoiler here, but nevermind)

As I said, I didn't play CC yet, but I read that it has hardly anything to do with the charaters from Radical Dreamers, appart from the names. Is this true or do they cover parts of the RD storyline?

From what Ive read Chrono Cross is the Radical Dreamers storyline and more. It was mainly about stealing the frozen flame from Viper Manor I think. I havent played/read it though. Ive only read about it.

Officially, RD takes place in a universe that's parallel to the ones in CC. (Parallel universes are the main aspect of CC's story.) So, you can still say it happened, even though it has no bearing on the events that take place in CC. There are numerous RD references throughout the game.

• Serge is around, but instead of being the narrator, he now says nothing at all. Quite the turnaround, there.
• Kid is in the game and is probably the character who most resembles her RD self. She's still a member of the Radical Dreamers gang of thieves, but she's actually...the only member. Heh. Basically, she spreads rumors about the notorious Radical Dreamers so that people will freak when she tells them she's a member.
• Magil, who is really Magus, was set to appear, but as time went on in the game's development, they couldn't find a way to fit him into the story in a significant way, so they did away with it. So instead, you have a character that looks, moves, and fights just like Magil/Magus...but it's not actually him.
• Lynx and the Frozen Flame figure largely in the plot.
• Miss Riddel and Viper Mansion.
• The Elranzer sword.
• There's a location in the game where you can read the prologue from RD. This is where it's implied that RD is going on in an alternate universe.
• Several of the game's songs are directly based on RD songs.

Aha... thanks, but my question is, do you ever find out what happens in the Radical Dreamers universe from CC?:)

Thanks a lot for help though:)
