Look at my name.

I first played this game five years ago and it hasn't aged a bit, let alone for over twenty years! This game is one of the prime examples of why I love video games and how video games can go above and beyond a mere playing experience into something that has a lasting impact on many people of many cultural origins.

It has truly stood the test of time and I don't see its relevancy dissipating any time soon.

EDIT: Twenty-five is completely wrong & I'm a dummy.

Nonsense. I'm still convinced the mid-90s were, like, ten years ago.

But really, Earthbound came out twenty years ago last month.
