EarthBound uses a turn-based combat system in the first-person view. As you travel from location to location, you will encounter enemies to battle. You'll control Ness and a group of characters while visiting eight sanctuaries to collect melodies and stop the threat. Giygas seeks to take over the world and turn all creatures and humans into malicious beings. An otherworldly presence instructs you to find eight powerful objects to stop an evil force called Giygas from consuming the world. This SNES game starts in your small village of Onett where a meteor has crash-landed in your backyard. Even your weapons are baseball bats and slingshots instead of swords and shields. To get from location to location, you buy a ticket for the bus. To save your game, you'll call your father using a payphone. As Ness, you won't venture into castles and villages but rather cities and laboratories. EarthBound, known as the Mother 2 in Japan, was designed as a realistic RPG game. Much of that has to do with the game's story.



Released in 1995, EarthBound for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System console has become a cult classic.
