Back when game guide companies were writing material for Chrono Trigger, one enlisted the aid of an artist and permission from Square to create a short manga that detailed the first few minutes of Chrono Trigger.

Before Chrono Trigger was released, a beta version was sent to game reviewers and stores to guarantee sales support.

In addition to Temporal Flux, select many tools and resources to select you in the Compendium's modification section, which boasts tutorials, utilities, offset listings and an archive of completed hacks.
The Chrono Trigger Testament was a Geocities site run by Xathael until 2003. It made a case for the game being a parable of the bible; though some of the points may be a stretch, and Masato Kato has stated that the game isn't such an allegory, it is nonetheless a very interesting and engaging read! It's been backed up on the Compendium's encyclopedia for your viewing.
