Dungeon Man cracked me up! The dungeon is stupidly easy - you can't really go wrong. My only regret is walking straight to the palm trees as soon as he joined my team so I didn't get a chance to use him in a fight

The good news is, you're only about 2/3rds through the game. The bad news is, you have the Stongehenge base full of teleporting, backstabbing Starmen ahead of you.

yeah I'm on the Starmen bit right now and it's proving incredibly difficult. Even though I feel like I'm HP-d and PP-d up to the gills, they're total assholes. I got in a right f--ing up with a Starman/Robot combo who just kept reviving themselves just as I was about to kill them off.

I completed it! Little bit annoyed I didn't explore a bit more of the 'completed world' before going home and finishing the game off properly, but hey never mind

the first time i beat giygas i went back and talked to every npc just to see if they said something new

You can buy the empty house in Onett, to no effect.

Yeah I did that. I was basically a billionaire by the time I completed it.

If you're interested, dog latin, Mother 3 (a translated rom of which can be found fairly easily) is possibly even better, although it's a much sadder and darker game.

100% agreed on that
― Nhex, Friday, 19 January 2018 07:10 (six years ago) link
Oooh, I didn't know there was a translation. I might look into cracking my SNES mini and loading it on. So is Mother 3 an indie / open source translation then?
― Badgers (dog latin), Friday, 19 January 2018 08:53 (six years ago) link
I also take it, it's not a SNES game?

'twas for GBA but that might be emulatableback when i played it though, it was an endless source of frustration that the hardware couldn't be emulated perfectly enough on PC to make the rhythm combat work right - that said I still loved the game so that should tell you something
― Nhex, Friday, 19 January 2018 09:05 (six years ago) link
The combat system works fine on a tablet with the My Boy emulator and an 8bitdo SNES controller.
My only gripe is that the music in Mother 3 is nowhere as good/iconic as Earthbound's; do not play if you hate saxophones.

Mother 3! The sequel to Earthbound!
― Wes Brodicus, Friday, 19 January 2018 09:18 (six years ago) link
I finally received the SNES Classic and stumbled upon Earthbound which I didn't know about until 36 hours ago. It got addicting very quickly.

yeah. I only completed it a few months ago but there's so much I'd happily relive

Have you tried the other mothers or any of the popular hacks?
― Evan, Friday, 16 November 2018 20:11 (five years ago) link
not yet. I should see if I can get mother 3 to play on the Nintendo mini
― Scritti Vanilli - The Word Girl You Know It's True (dog latin), Saturday, 17 November 2018 19:54 (five years ago) link
can they do GBA emulation?
― Nhex, Saturday, 17 November 2018 23:14 (five years ago) link
ah... i take it no one's done a SNES ROM..
