And it’s easy to see why – influential titles like Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy IV & VI, Phantasy Star, and EarthBound just to name a few, all set the standard for any games that would follow in their legacy.Ĭhrono Trigger (1995) is the quintessential 16-bit JRPG, still considered by many as the finest ever made. Beginning in 1987 and spanning into the mid-90’s, dominated by the Super Nintendo and SEGA’s Mega Drive/Genesis, many consider this decade to be the golden years for RPGs. If you grew up playing JRPGs (that’s Japanese Role-Playing Games for the uninitiated), chances are you have an immense fondness for the 16-bit era.
