Play Live A Live Online

I first played Live A Live on the Super Nintendo back in 1994, a time when Square was known for pushing the console's limits. It was a different kind of role playing game, one that felt experimental compared to the more straightforward adventures of its era. The game presented a collection of separate stories instead of a single epic tale, which immediately set it apart from everything else on the system.

You control different protagonists across distinct time periods, from a caveman to a robot in the far future. Your main goal is to complete each character's self contained chapter, which involves exploring areas screen by screen, engaging in grid based combat, and solving the specific conflicts of that era. The gameplay shifts significantly between stories; one chapter might focus on stealth and avoiding enemies, while another involves traditional dungeon crawling and turn based battles on a small field. The pacing is uneven by design, with some chapters feeling like short vignettes and others offering more substantial exploration. Finishing a chapter gives you a real sense of closure for that character's journey before you move on to the next.
