31 years later, beautiful SNES RPG Terranigma is finally coming to PC, and I must lay the ghost of my console warrior childhood to rest

Clear River Games Development and Limited Run are working on a PC re-release of Terranigma, Quintet's Super Nintendo Entertainment System action-RPG from 1995.

The short version

• I never played Terranigma, for I was raised according to the Holy Maxim that Sega do what Nintendon't.
• I would sooner have flushed my own blast processor down the toilet before I permitted any associates of Mario under my roof.
• RPS guides writer Jeremy did play Terranigma, however, and says it's one of his favourite games ever.

What happened

For the sake of collegiality, I guess I'll suppress my emaciated console war impulses and take a look. Terranigma takes place on a hollow planet with a civilisation divided between the outer Lightside and the internal Darkside.

Why it matters

You are Ark, a mischievous Darkside kid who one day opens a forbidden door, as is the pastime of RPG protagonists.
