The latest Retrinaut's patron exclusive Friday episode takes a look at Square Enix's

Trials of Mana and Legend of Mana.

Trials of course was just remade in a really great 3D version, and Legend of Mana has

a soundtrack that alone puts it in a world class of its own.

If you enjoy the sample we've included here, you can listen to the whole thing by going

to patreon.com slash Retrinauts and subscribing to the show at the $5 per month or higher

level.

There'll be another patron exclusive episode next Friday, and on Monday, the free episode

in the main feed, we'll take a look at the history of trackball games in our very last

on-location recording before the worldwide pandemic shutdown, as well as an interview with Tim

Lepetino, the author of Art of Atari, about all the things he discovered while putting

together his excellent coffee table book.

So enjoy the preview and check us out on Patreon.

Thanks.

So let's talk about Trials of Mana.

The 3KA, Sacred Dinsets 3, the 3rd legend of the Holy Sword in the original Japanese.

This game came out for Super Famicom in 1995 and for Super NES.

Never, because well, I think there's lots of reasons.

A lot of people say, oh, secretive evermore, that game sucks because we got that instead

of Secret of Mana 2.

No, we got that incidentally, and also Secret of Mana 2 never came here, but Trials of

Mana, sorry.
