Can someone explain to me what made earthbound so great? I never played it before and I remember the game getting some mediocre reviews when it came out. Thanks.

I can't explain Earthbound, you just gotta play it.

I'll get flamed for this but I also liked Secret of Evermore.

That's right. There are two versions of Super Mario All*Stars. The one included as a pack-in also includes Super Mario World. This version of Super Mario World has a couple noticable changes: Luigi has his own sprites and the save menu has been updated ("Return to Main" or something). Great find if you ever see one :)

its excellent. seriously.
the newer versions (n64, gc, etc) aint got nothing on this!

Especially the music. I never cared much for the N64's farmboy music and Mario Kart: Super Circuit was pretty generic. Double Dash's is growing on me...

Starfox for SNES also had superb music compared to the N64 version.

How much did you pay for that cart at Gamestop? My local GS seperates it from the other carts and jacks up the price :(

I see that one around all of the time and never thought that it was special. I usually see it for $5-$7.

This forum does not allow posting links like that, sorry.

www.google.com may help, though.
