EarthBound

[DoTheFandango]

When I was around 9, I got my last SNES game from my Uncle. He picked it up at Funcoland at their clearence rack. I played it feverishly, addicted and playing it religiously.

At 10, my SNES bombed out, and I gave all my games to my cousin, for I had the new N64 which promised cool new ideas like "Super Mario 64" and "Star Fox 64" and even "Madden 64". Oh boy!

I forgot about the game until recently playing SSB:M.

It was EarthBound. I dusted off the cartridge and bought an SNES off of eBay (40$ with two controllers + shipping). I have never had more fun in my life.

The game is deep and rich and it has multiple layers. It has a comedic layer, a political layer, and even a deep layer about childhood and growing up.

It had Dark Humor, it has homages to Link to the Past and I realized Pokemon had many homages to EarthBound as well. This game is so perfect, I can't understand why it hasn't been ported or anything yet!

I beg of you to play this game.

[DoTheFandango]

Bump because you should all seriously play this game.

please.

[all.your.base]

NO! its to hard.. <_<
i played it and i went to the arcade and a stupid "skateboard punk" beat me up, and i got pissed off at its over realisticness, so i quit!

It is a great game. It's aged pretty badly since it was released, but it's still a fun game. When I first found out about the game, I couldn't wait for it to come out.

It's a pretty strange game. It gets really strange when you get farther into it.

[DoTheFandango]

The end of the game (I won't spoil) and the Moonside are by far the most fucked up things I have ever playeed.

AYB: You need to go level.

I didn't like the battle system that much but overall it's a good game.

Yeah, out of every game I owned for my Super Nintendo, this one was by far my favorite.

Be sure to pick up the strategy guide that came bundled with the game, it makes for a much smoother experience.

I played it, but got bored aroundabout the ghost filled tunnel in the third/fourth town.

[Adman]

when i played it, i beat it but i missed so much stuff

[RATTY...]

I beg of you to play this game.

Cough, faggot.

Play Seikendentetsu 3 (Secret of Mana 2) and Tales of Phantasia, 2 of the greatest RPG ever made on SNES. Earthbound is a below ok game, maybe its good for people who havent played anything better. Like this fatty.

[DoTheFandango]

Ok, so I disagree with you on one thing, and now I am an ignoramus.

I have played SoM2 and Tales of Phantasia. I find that EarthBound has a better story and has just SO MUCH MORE to offer than those RPGs. It was overall, a much more enjoy able experience.

I loved that game except for the final boss. I didnt beat the game because I wasnt stocked up on supplies I remember. Pissed me off because I remember Id always get to the last part of the boss is life and die. Ever since then when I play RPGs I am always so overstocked that I beat the games from overkill.

My favorite character was the guy from the magical cloud place. Think he was a ninja.

[Stabwound]

The ninja's default name is Poo.

[DoTheFandango]

You didn't even need to fight the last part of Gigyas, and that took me forever to figure out.

The girl just had to pray 9 times.

God damn it.
