John Gordon Sprigg
Sir John Gordon Sprigg, (27 April 1830 – 4 February 1913) was an English-born colonial administrator, politician and four-time prime minister of the Cape Colony. Early life Sprigg was born in Ipswich, England, into a strongly Puritan family. His father was a pastor and his strictly conservative up-bringing had a lifelong effect on Sprigg's values (until the end of his life, one of Sprigg's proudest claims was that his ancestor had been one of Oliver Cromwell's chaplains). He was educated at Ipswich School, as well as a series of other private schools. He started his career in a shipbuilder's office, and then switched jobs to become a short-hand writer and reporter.

It is the successor to ''Chrono Trigger'', which was released in 1995 for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System.

The developers also created an "auto accent program", to apply accents and other quirks to character's dialogue, making the dialogue altered depending on who was pre ...
