You will need a Super Nintendo emulator to play Terranigma. You can download one from my emulators page. If you need assistance with any of the emulators offered on my site, check out my emulation help subsite: Video Game Emulation for Newbies.
The original version of Terranigma that we all know and love. As mentioned in about the game, Terranigma was not released in North America so I need to offer the European version here. Additionally, I need to urge you not to download this version because the ROM hacks below offer a far better experience.
A variety of hacks have been made to give Terranigma a better experience! What's “Pre-patched” and “Patch”? Hackers distribute their work as a patch that is meant to be applied to the game. I saved you the trouble and patched the game for you in the “Pre-patched” download button. I know some of you insist on patching the game yourself, so I also provide just the patch via the “Patch” download button. If you need assistance with patching, check out my patching tutorial.
Since Terranigma was released in Europe, the game runs at 25 frames per second to support PAL televisions. North American NTSC televisions run at 60 frames per second. This causes the game to run slower in SNES emulators because it's optimized for PAL's lower framerate. Fortunately, this hack corrects this by converting the European game from PAL to NTSC. Pretty cool huh?
This is the VWF (vertical wide font) hack a.k.a. the 8x16 hack. Terranigma has very w i d e t e x t. This hack corrects it by removing the spaces between the letters. Game dialogue is easier to read.
As mentioned in about the game, Terranigma is a part of the “Soul Blazer” series. I have the other two games below for you.
This is the North American version of Illusion of Gaia. This game is the second title in the “Soul Blazer” series.
