One of my top RPGs of all time, if only for the delightfully quirky nature - from the story to the characters to the enemies and even the music. It starts out tough, but gets easier as you go along - don't give up on it, or you'll miss one of the most original, and fun games, that has been released.

One of the best RPGs ever made. Earthbound is basically a parody of other RPGs. It's based in a stereotypical American setting (the first four towns are Onette, Twoson, Threed, Fourside..). Instead of swords and shields, you use baseball bats and yo-yos. Instead of fighting dragons you fight...big piles of puke? It sounds ridiculous, and it is. However, I found its own unique brand of comedy quite charming (after awhile). The gameplay is top notch, the story very long, and there are quite a few secrets to explore and master. A word of warning though, the graphics are pretty terrible for a SNES game.
