I downloaded the rom of this game and used a patch done by some nice guys that translated the rom to english (the original is in japanese).
Radical Dreamers was a text RPG released by Square some years ago after Chrono Trigger and before Chrono Cross. The point of the game is to answer various questions through Viper Manor, and the battles are in Q/A mode as well, which is a bit boring, coz you only keep reading and selecting options through the entire game.
Actually Radical Dreamer's story is the basis of C. Cross' since it takes place in Viper Manor. The characters are Serge, Kid (the same ones from C Cross) and a guy named Magil (who would be Magus from C Trigger). That's why there's that rumour that C Cross' Guile would be actually Magus from Chrono Trigger.

Anyway, did anyone played and enjoyed this not so famous Square game?

Wasn't this only released for the Bandai Satellaview? (BS-X)

I downloaded the English patch for it, which was very well done. However, I didn't really have the patience to play very far into it.

I may have got 20 minutes through it when I played it, and that was once. Like he said, I didn't have the patience for it.

yeah, novel games really don't have a market here in the states. Which is why Silent Hill Novel for GBA didnt make it here.

I didn't last long in this game. I guess when I want to play one of the choose your own adventure books, I'll play this game.

I played through each storyline, and thoroughly enjoyed the story ;

Of course, I was playing it in the sense that I was reading a book. That and I'm a very big fan of Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross ;

That's a bummer. The Silent Hill play novel intrigued me because I'm a fan of the series and I've always enjoyed choose your own adventure books. I downloaded the ROM and managed to beat the first boss, but I didn't really get much out of it because I don't read Japanese. I wish someone would make a translation patch or script for that game...and it would of course be ideal if Konami would translate it into English and give me some way to buy it...

I have played it a bit, but honestly like others, I just really didn't have the patience for it.

These aren't everyone's cup of tea. Graphic novel games are huge in Japan but have an *extremely* niche audience in the United States. These aren't as "open-ended" as Infocom games.

I played it. I didn't really think too much of it, it was a little too hokey for my taste. The plot allusions to C.Cross were pretty good, but considering I did what Hiryuu did and played about 20 minutes of it, I'm guessing I could have seen more.
