For those who don't already know about this scarce item, \naccording to ChronoCompendium.com, this cartridge was only given to media and \nretailers to preview the beta in Japan. This item was never available in stores. \nThis cartridge contains a number of documented changes from the final release, \nincluding: alternate and unfinished music, alternate sprites, a driveable Epoch \n(!) and inaccessible areas.

To quote from \nChronoCompendium, \n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eThe Chrono Trigger Prerelease is an unfinished version of Chrono \nTrigger dated November 17, 1994. It was given to magazines and game retailers as \na sample before Chrono Trigger's release to generate interest and sales. The \nPrerelease could not be played all the way through; barriers to passage were \nprogrammed in Guardia Castle, Lab 32, and the Magic Cave. Around 1999, someone \nripped and uploaded the ROM; the Sonic 2 Beta was obtained in a similar manner. \n\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Prerelease provides a rare look into Chrono Trigger's development. It's \nfull of things that were changed or dropped from Chrono Trigger's final release; \nwe can only guess at what the developers intended in some cases. For that \nreason, it holds a special quasi-canonical position in the Chrono series. Fans \ncan explore the game's many interesting areas (witnessing different enemies and \nitems) by using codes or an Epoch savestate. \u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe extensive information there about this limited release \nshows how important this title is to the Chrono fan community. \n\u003cp\u003eThis beta cartridge offers a rare hands-on look into the early stages of one \nof the most treasured RPGs of all time. The limited quantities and the random \ndistribution method mean that very, very few of these cartridges exist today. \u003cfont face=\"arial\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003cfont face=\"arial\"\u003ePlease note that this cartridge is formatted for Japanese NTSC Super \nFamicom system.
