Dude Hacks Chrono Trigger for Proposal

by Roly Reyes on October 27, 2008 at 4:33 pm

YouTube user “TheRealPfhreak” has a girlfriend he loves with all his heart. Naturally, he decided he wanted to make her a keeper. When he decided he’d like to seal the deal, his girlfriend was in the process of a good ol’  Chrono Trigger playthrough. It all made sense. In an effort to create a unique proposal, he decided to meld his innate nerdery with what he’s learned from his Computer Science degree.In proposing to her through a SNES rom hack, he had three main goals:

First. Keep the area in the context of the original game, the proposal should be a surprise.

Second. Get it done quick! I had the ring, I had the Father’s blessing, and you can’t sit on either of those for too long. You’ll notice some of the NPC collision information is missing (the cat runs through a lot of weird places) and I didn’t have time to properly debug every tile.

Third. Place memories that might be poignant enough to remind her of our relationship, while not inadvertently giving away that this was somehow hacked.(See goal #1.)

According to TheRealPfhreak, his girlfriend was amazed by the amount of coincidences throughout the level. Every character was either him or her at one point or another in their relationship. Apparently, she fell for it, hard. Hard enough to say “yes!” After seeing her name on the screen, she glanced over and saw him bent down on one knee holding a ring. She exclaimed, “You are such a huge nerd! I love this!” and nodded. Another happy ending.

Way to go, dude! Best wishes Mr. & Mrs. RealPfhreak!
