EarthBound 64
The original EarthBound for the Super NES dazzled and delighted
role-playing fans in search of something a little different. Instead of
magical amulets in medieval worlds, EarthBound delivered flying
saucers, drugstores that sell armor and the Annoying Old Party Man.
EarthBound 64 promises to plunge players into even stranger situations,
all of which take place in a stunningly realized 3-D world. Screen shots
of this work in progress display gorgeous landscapes and buildings, all
rendered with painstaking attention to detail. Light-sourcing from
fireplaces and candles auger a game that's rich in visual drama.
Although still in development, EarthBound 64, promises plenty of offbeat
fun, including a jazz combo that's way cool, daddy-o.
