Hello fellow adventurers! All gamers have their favorite game. Well today I thought I would talk about mine. If you can, imagine an 8 year old in blockbuster on a Friday night looking for the game to rent for the weekend. Your browsing and see this box cover.
Bright colors and cool space suit! Clearly a winner for a weekend game. In Earthbound you play as a young boy named Ness. A meteor has landed in your town and wakes you. You meet an alien bee named BuzzBuzz, who sends you on an epic journey to 8 powerful locations and to meet 3 new friends to defeat Giygas. Giygas is an alien lifeform coming back in time to defeat Ness as a kid before he grows up and defeats Giygas. I cant explain how amazing this game is in one blog.
Here is a speedrun of Earthbound. While you wont get to se ethe full game you might just see what is so amazing about it.
The art and music is a masterpiece in an of itself. Plenty of color and unique characters and NPC's to meet. There is a decent size playlist you can listen to on Spotify if you look up earthbound. The game itself has a lot of The Beatles references as well. I can't force anyone to play this game, but if you have a chance I highly advise to give it a try. The game can be found on the Switch, Super Nintendo Mini, and you can buy the cartridge for the original SNES. If your tech savvy you can even download an emulator and try it for free.
Until next time, I hope you roll a high initiative
