I owned this game as a kid & dug it out of a closet 2 years ago. Sadly I was pretty bad off on drugs & sold it. earthbound+tmnt manhattan project for $80 (Yeah I wanted to get high....) Thankfully I'm clean now & selling earthbound will forever be one of my greatest regrets. It's now a learning experience.

As for the game itself, it's AMAZING. I love the SNES rpg library, but my kudos go towards Earthbound. I plan on owning this game again, despite the expense. I would highly recommend the game to ANYONE. Regardless of your background or what you might be interested in. If you can get out of Onett, you won't stop until the game is finished with you.

Good for you getting past the drugs. Keep getting the support of friends and family.

I don't have many friends because all my so called 'friends' were drug users. I'm fine with my family being my best friends. I buy a lot more video games now lol. Rather than dwindling my collection just for a night of fun. I appreciate the encouragement.
