Yes, ToP for the Snes was a great game, except that the battle system kinda sucked
Battles would be fought often by Cless alone: when attacking, he runs all the way to the enemy, hits it, runs all the way back again. Especially in longer fights, this really strains your nerves
Chester wasn't bad with his bow, but didn't have a long range, and you use him early. Arche was the only useful one as soon as she got decent spells, but was very limited by her mana points. Mint was very cute, but also very useless most of the time, until someone got wounded and she could use a heal spell. hera other spells were absolutely pointless. Klarth was nice as soon as he got decent spirits, but was even much more limited in their use and besides that could only hit enemies with his sorcery book (whee).
Without this crappy battle system, it surely would have been even a good bit better.

Overall, I like Seiken Densetsu 3 better. It has a very nice and efficient battle system, and the story isn't so linear but depends upon who is in your party.
Besides that, Chrono Trigger was also a great game

I wonder if ToS, ToD2 or anything the likes will ever make it over to the PC...
