Asked "sell me on your favorite game" to a group of friends, they said it made for a great discussion, so maybe copying it to here might make a nice discussion too.

Personally, I recommend Snes9x as an emulator (I also play on linux, Ubuntu if that's helpful). As for hunting down ROMs, you can often find compilation "best of" packages on Archive.org or if you hunt around for trusted sites (I'm unsure of the rules here if I'm allowed to direct you to said trusted sites or not) I'm sure you can find it.

Officially, Chrono Trigger is on Steam and that probably takes minimal finageling nowadays even on Linux.

A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
