- Play Earthbound and find out why on earth people feel it is worth $150.
Because it's amazing. Granted, I have my copy from when I was a kid. It's probably not worth that much, but it's a great game in my eyes. If I needed to replace my copy, I might pony up that much money. Up there with chrono trigger and the like.

I just beat Chrono Trigger and seeing how Earthbound goes for twice as much typically, it better be twice as good lol! That's going to be hard since Chrono Trigger is definitely one of the best RPGs I have played, and that is coming from someone who has zero nostalgia for that game. It will be interesting to see how Earthbound stacks up ;)

You are going to be disappointed. In all honesty, Chrono Trigger is more than twice the game Earthbound is.

That's mostly what I have heard/read :/. I even hear a lot of people say it is very overrated, but I am holding off judgements and forming my own opinion of it. If it's at least enjoyable I'll be happy.

Noooo you make me sad :(. I really enjoy the writing style and the fact that it an RPG that's not medieval. But yeah it's hard for me to compare the two as I love them both so much.

I think most people that enjoy Earthbound religiously are nostalgia based. Not to make you sad or anything but I really dont think it stands the test of time compared to Chrono Trigger or FF VI when you are talking about SNES RPGs.

You're probably not wrong honestly. I don't really see those games in the same light though. It's kind of like comparing comedy and horror movies together. Sometimes you're in the mood for one over the other.

That being said, they're all very good :D.

Fair enough, I can give you that. They really are two different types of RPGs.

One goal is to play at least one game a day. I am trying to write mini reviews of all the games I own on Twitter but I need to play the games to write them.

My other is to start to stream as I play through the PC games I own. I think it would be fun to have people watch as I epically fail at games.
