Who's played this classic?
I loved it! It was a very entertaining game. I never got a chance to beat though. I only rented it. (I knew I should have bought it!) Fortunately, I heard they're making it for the GBA in Japan, along with the original Nes version! It better make it to the States, so I can finish it!
Earthbound!

Earthbound is an awesome, if very silly, game! It's tons of fun and kind of refreshing after all those "serious" RPGs. 
And I think it's really neat that it takes place "present-day"...well, actually...
The year is 199X...
LOL! I think that it wouldn't have been the same if it had been medieval or futuristic.

People who write below their abilities in order to crank out tons of books and make a buck. Especially Christian authors who do that. Outsiders judge us for it, and make fun of us for it, and it makes Jesus look bad. We of all artists on earth should be the most concerned with doing our best possible work at all times. We of all people should write with all our hearts, as if writing for the Lord and not for men.

I LOVE Earthbound, it's so good 
I want to play it again, but I don't own my SNES anymore, my sister does.
LOL, speaking of that, if I can think of what I need to think of for it, I'm writing a crossover humor fanfic where characters from several animes are thrown into the post-ending EarthBound universe. . .

It's a modern RPG set in the year 199X in Eagleland, USA for the good old SNES. You play as a young boy named Ness, who has discovered a crashed meteoroid near his house. At the impacted site, he meets a bug named BUZZBUZZ! BuzzBuzz warns him of a coming alien invasion! So, your job is to stop it. It's basically a fun RPG spoof. Instead of fightning odd random monsters, you fight despiteful crows and Retro Hippies. You receive money by leveling up and you then obtain by withdrawing it from a ATM machine. Save points are telephones and your weapons are bats and yo-yos. It's just a good time!

It was pretty fun. The remakes for the GBA of Earthbound and it's NES prequal(that was never released in the US) were released a short time ago in Japan. Unfortunatly there isn't any plans currently to port it over here. Hopefully they will. They also announced that they were making a sequal for the GBA.

I liked Earthbound quite a bit. And the ending for the final boss is... interesting, to say the least. A unique idea.
