  A hidden gem that is overlooked that will leave every Super Nintendo owner happy after they play it.

  This action-RPG stays enjoyable to this day thanks to challenging combat and good storytelling.

  Illusion of Time is a laudable Zelda-esque epic!

  By widdowson91 | Review Date: Jan 22, 2011 | SNES

  Illusion of Time is the second game, before Terranigma but after Soul Blazer, in Quintet and Enix's 'unofficial' Gaia trilogy. It was released in 1994 for the Super Nintendo to decent reviews, but never really earned the... Read Full Review

  A pure classic that will always be "in the shadows." I wish Nintendo would put this on VC.

  By bbkkristian | Review Date: Feb 28, 2009 | SNES

  Illusion of Gaia was made in 1994. When I played it as a kid, it was Hard! I couldn't get past the first boss. Now I played it again and I went through it with not much of a problem. It IS like a Zelda game (The sense of... Read Full Review

  Illusion of Gaia is an extremely under appreciated game that accomplishes much more than having an awesome name.

  By Dapieguyofdoom | Review Date: Apr 10, 2008 | SNES
