Dragon Quest IV/Dragon Warrior IV was a strong influence on Chrono Trigger’s medieval era. If you wanted an entire game about the Hero, DQ4 is the closest you’re ever likely to get. (Does that make Recettear a sister game to Chrono Trigger?)
Phantasy Star IV has a similarly fast-moving and cinematic plot, but the graphics and gameplay are more archaic as befits a 1993 game. Strongly recommended if you want to play older JRPGs like DQ4.
Final Fantasy VI (released as “Final Fantasy III”) is similar in quality and difficulty, but much longer and more complex.
Radical Dreamers and Chrono Cross continue the story, but they have a much darker tone.
Earthbound/Mother 2 came out the same year and is another of the greats, but that’s where most of the similarities end. Earthbound might be the only 16-bit classic whose tone is “all of them”. Earthbound can be quite hard early on, so don’t get discouraged.
Tetris is a helluva game. I’ve been to a few local tournaments, to watch, not play. Those guys would smoke me. If you like the game check out a documentary titled Ecstasy of Order: The Tetris Masters.
NGL… First glance at the chart I thought the left hand scale was temperature with a sudden spike to 250°… no wonder people are dying when your iced tea boils in your glass as you try to drink it!
While they could have snugged them in, they do need the ability to park them somewhere while shopping. One option is in the road, like the white van. Or put up some bike racks to guide parking. This is poor city planning.
There’s a lot of things wrong with the Netherlands, but poor city planning - at least when it comes to bike infrastructure - is not something you’ll find there.
