Terranigma is an action role-playing game developed by Quintet and published by Enix for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, released in Japan in October 1995 and in Europe in December 1996. It was never released in North America — a casualty of Enix's closure of its US branch before localization was complete — and has never been re-released in any form, making it one of the most elusive classics of the 16-bit era.
The game is the third entry in an unofficial trilogy of SNES action RPGs from Quintet, following Soul Blazer (1992) and Illusion of Gaia (1993). Where those games dealt with themes of creation and loss, Terranigma takes those ideas to their logical conclusion: the player controls a boy named Ark, who lives in Crysta, a village in the underground world. After opening a forbidden door in a tower's basement, Ark inadvertently freezes the inhabitants of his village. Tasked by the village elder with setting things right, he ventures out to the world's surface — a dead, frozen place — and begins the work of bringing the continents, and then life itself, back into existence.
