When people think of supergroups, they tend to think of music. Groups like Traveling Wilburys, Temple of the Dog, and Bell Biv DeVoe formed when individual members who already achieved tremendous success joined forces to top the charts. This phenomenon isn’t unique to music, however. Video games have seen the formation of several supergroups of its own over the years, where developers and artists with impressive backgrounds launched projects together in an attempt at something spectacular. Thirty years ago, the greatest supergroup in gaming history got together to launch what is arguably the most influential role-playing game of all time.
Chrono Trigger released in 1995 for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, and was the result of an unprecedented collaboration between three of Japan’s most celebrated game creators: Hironobu Sakaguchi, Yuji Horii, and Akira Toriyama. Together, they formed what publisher Square called the "Dream Team," and their combined talents resulted in a game that changed the genre forever.
