BURRRRNNNNN!!!

Anyone a fan? I just got a snes and this game at a cheap pawn shop (I haggled for it :P) its now one of my favorite games, it's really fun and old school (like DQ) but one thing is, is that it's a modern type JRPG which means it uses really houses and automobiles. The fights are different turn-based; they don't show much except the monster your fighting. Here's a pic in case you forgot what it was  In 1995, RPGs were stuck in a rut that Dragon Quest had dug. Most were still set in medieval times, with knights and mages battling mythical monsters with swords and magic. Few games dared to defy this mold until EarthBound (MOTHER 2 as it is known in Japan). No other game was like it, except maybe its prequel, MOTHER, which had not been released outside of Japan. EarthBound introduced, and even today continues to introduce, RPG fans to an entirely different experience. The story is set in the 1990s in Eagleland, a kitschy and romanticized parody of America (perfect lawns and quiet suburbs). No dragons, mystical knights, or staff-wielding wizards appear in this game. You are just an average 13 year old kid from the suburbs...until the night a meteor lands in your backyard. The local wildlife start attacking you, a gang of local hoodlums begins causing trouble downtown, you realize that you have psychic powers, and a mysterious messenger from the future tells you that you are destined to save the world.
