A young man named Crono is about to enjoy a carefree day. He is planning to go to the Millennial Fair, where his friend Lucca intends to demonstrate her newest scientific invention: a teleporter.

Unfortunately, Marle’s pendant mysteriously affects the teleporter’s mechanism and she is teleported four hundred years into the past. Crono and Lucca quickly recreate the time portal and follow through. There they find out that Marle’s unexpected appearance created a distortion in time, which they try to fix leading to more unforeseen consequences.

Chrono Trigger gameplay
Chrono Trigger is a Japanese-style role playing game in which you take control of a party of up to seven characters, developing their combat skills and managing their equipment. There are no random encounters in the game. All the enemies are either visibly walking on the map and can be avoided, or they are waiting to ambush the party. No enemy encounters happen when the player moves the characters around the world map.
At the start of the game the player gets to choose between ATB (active time battle) combat system, known from Final Fantasy games, and a system that is essentially fully turn-based. The latter lets the player pause combat by accessing menus, effectively removing the real-time element of the former.
