This week on Retro Reset, we're finally BACK with part 1 of our DOUBLE SIZE Chrono Trigger extravaganza!

Turn on your SNES and get ready to RESET.

Other topics discussed:

- POGS and Beanie Babies

- How Waterworld made so much money and still technically flopped

- Chrono Cross and the change from cartridges to discs

- Another spiky-haired protagonist from Secret of Mana
