ATTN: nostalgic rpg nerds RE: don't you wish you still had this game around[views:14965][posts:78]___________________________________ [May 4,2012 10:59am - arktouros ""] http://www.ebay.com/ctg/EarthBound-Super-N...tegid=1249&_dmpt=Video_Games_Games# Earthbound (SNES) NIB: $2,995 "acceptable": $275 i rented this game and my mom liked it so much she went out and bought it at SPAGS for $89.95. |
| _____________________________________ [May 4,2012 11:02am - trioxin_245 ""] I still have earthbound. |
| _______________________________________ [May 4,2012 11:06am - ABastard NLI ""] never played it but the screen caps look gay as shit and ross if you had it youd have it on ebay right now. |

| ___________________________________ [May 4,2012 11:13am - arktouros ""] the game came with the player's guide and a massive box...if i still had that shit yeah it would be on ebay. the art style is cartoony but it is a nintendo game after all, there was a lot of monty python humor in it, and a lot of the game was really bleak with religious cults and alien-infested caves. |

| ____________________________________________ [May 4,2012 11:14am - arillius_the_white ""] Was just playing it the other day after we briefly talked about it, Ark. It's funny, I have some real expensive games. Crusader of Centy is going for 250 dollars on ebay. Might sell. Still got all my boxes. |
| ___________________________________ [May 4,2012 11:16am - arktouros ""] you have to get that fan translation of mother 3 and emulate it. i need to continue that. only passing connections to earthbound but it had the same feel. |

| ____________________________________ [May 4,2012 1:57pm - trioxin_245 ""] I have chrono trigger and secret of mana cartridges as well which are supposedly worth something, but probably not worth shit without the box, and they're just collecting dust in the basement so it's not like they're in pristine condition. |
| ___________________________________________ [May 4,2012 1:58pm - arillius_the_white ""] Worth something, but not much beceause they were popular. Gotta go for the more kvlt games |
| ______________________________________ [May 4,2012 2:32pm - NuclearWinter ""] I remember renting Earthbound circa '95. Wasn't too blown away by it. I'll pay top dollar for a SNES cartridge of Star Ocean, though. |

| _______________________________ [May 4,2012 2:43pm - Burnsy ""] Star tropics was my rpg on NES. Probably not worth much. |
| ____________________________________ [May 4,2012 2:57pm - trioxin_245 ""] earthbound was OK, secret of mana / legend of gaia > every other 16 bit console rpg, with the exception of A Link to the Past |
| ____________________________________ [May 4,2012 3:00pm - trioxin_245 ""] also, Final Fantasy III |

| ___________________________________________ [May 4,2012 3:06pm - arillius_the_white ""] Lol at calling any Zelda game an RPG |
| ____________________________________ [May 4,2012 3:20pm - trioxin_245 ""] how is it not an rpg? and regardless, it's a wonderful game. |
| __________________________________ [May 4,2012 3:24pm - arktouros ""] zelda is action/adventure. it's not a role playing game because you just play link, who's role is clearly defined in the story, and you don't change any of his attributes, abilities, etc. it doesn't fit the classic definition which only matters to nerds. and regardless, it's one of the best games of all time. |
| ____________________________________ [May 4,2012 3:26pm - trioxin_245 ""] yea actually you're right |
| ____________________________________ [May 4,2012 3:27pm - trioxin_245 ""] either way, ocarina of time is probably my favorite game ever |
| ____________________________________ [May 4,2012 3:28pm - ouchdrummer ""] SNES/GENESIS had the best RPGs of my childhood (I know some of these are turn based RPGs, and some considered "Action", but they all fall into the same time consuming category... Secret of Mana, Legend of Gaia, Gemfire, FF2, FF3, Landstalker, Warsong, SHINING FORCE 1/2, Wanderers of Ys.. the list goes on and on. |

I miss 90s ps1 RPGs so goddamn much, *pout pout There is a new Xeno game out for the Wii i guess, i might buy jens wii just for it but obviously not gonna be as good as Xenogears, great great game....not enough secrets though |
| ___________________________________________ [May 4,2012 4:02pm - arillius_the_white ""] Sega was FAR superior in certain areas for a while. sports and action games were so much better on Genesis than Snes. SNES had much better RPGs but lets face the facts: Squaresoft solely made games for SNES.. Squaresoft before the Enix merger was the best gaming company in the history of video games. |
