Radical Dreamers: Nusumenai Houseki

Radical Dreamers is the little-known sequel to the popular and critically acclaimed Chrono Trigger. Unlike Chrono Trigger and the other games in the Chrono series, Radical Dreamers is a menu-driven text adventure/visual novel with sparse graphics and atmospheric music. The game was only released in Japan for the Super Famicom's Satellaview satellite radio service. In this game, three thieves - Kid, a young girl famous for her age, Magil, a mysterious wizard with an unknown past, and Serge, a rather cowardly young man - set out for Lord Lynx's castle to steal the Frozen Flame, a legendary jewel. But Kid isn't just there for the jewel - she has a personal vendetta against Lynx. Many elements from that game have been carried over to Chrono Cross, including characters, music and parts of the story. Chrono Cross implies that Radical Dreamers is set in one of many alternative versions of the main game's world.
