Holy Shit I remember Earthbound. I loved that game.

The one we're used to is known, in the series, as Earthbound Mother) never came out. My dream is that, someday, I will convince Nintendo to make a new Earthbound, written by me.

As I say, www.vimm.net is the nerd's holy grail. Just about every SNES or NES game ever made as a rom, available for free and easy download with no viruses (couple of pop-ups though). Seriously, if I can only impart one thing to you, let it be www.vimm.net, the greatest site in the world.

Oh, and if you're looking to relive the glory days, might I suggest www.vimm.net, the greatest rom site available.
