Dive into a nostalgic adventure with this classic RPG, originally developed by Nintendo and Ape for the Famicom. Crafted by the legendary Shigesato Itoi and produced by Shigeru Miyamoto, this game kicks off the beloved Mother series, also known as EarthBound. Although it never officially launched outside Japan, fans can enjoy the charm of its unique world through the English prototype that emerged online.

Set in a quirky version of 1980s America, the story follows a young psychic boy named Ninten from the town of Mother's Day (or Podunk in the English version). When strange events disrupt his home, Ninten embarks on a quest to uncover their source. Along the way, he befriends a colorful cast of characters who join him in battling mysterious enemies with baseball bats and psychic powers instead of swords and magic.

Originally planned for a North American release as Earth Bound in 1991, the game was shelved in favor of its sequel, which became the well-loved EarthBound. Despite its rocky path to release, this game remains a cherished masterpiece with its tagline, "No crying until the ending." Whether you're a longtime fan or new to the series, this game promises a heartwarming journey filled with humor, adventure, and psychic battles!
