Radical Dreamers is a Japanese
video game produced by
Square (now
Square Enix) in 1996 for the
NintendoSuper Famicom's
Satellaview add-on. It is a text-based
visual novel in which the player takes the role of
Serge, a young adventurer accompanied by
Kid, a teen-aged thief, and Gil, a masked
magician. The game is a gaiden, or
side story, to the 1995 game Chrono Trigger in the
Chrono series, and later served as inspiration for Chrono Cross. It features text-based gameplay with minimal graphics and sound effects, and was scored by composer
Yasunori Mitsuda. Unlike many Satellaview titles, Radical Dreamers was not designed to lock after a certain number of play-throughs, so players owning an
8M Memory Pack onto which the game was downloaded can still play today. Square tried to integrate Radical Dreamers into the Japanese
PlayStation port of Chrono Trigger as an
Easter egg, but writer and director
Masato Kato halted this and other releases, unhappy with the quality of his work. Though the game was never officially released abroad,
ROM hackers completed an English
fan translation in 2003. (

Imperial Navy in the early 1890s. Named for
