EARTHBOUND
Earthbound is a very different RPG in the sense that it takes place in 'modern' times.  Most RPG's, as you probably know, deal with ancient times, forcing you to wield sword, bows, leather armor, etc...Well, Earthbound is like RPG's in the sense that you explore, hack/slash, socialize, get equip, but it's all modern.  Instead of wielding a great sword, you wield a baseball bat, frying pan..Instead of quaffing healing potions, you eat pizza, cookies, sandwiches and stuff to regenerate hit points and mana/psi/spell/etc.
I kinda like the game personally.  The graphic leave a lot to be desired, but if
you only judge a game by great graphics, then you are sad.  The storyline revolves around a meteorite crash landing on Earth, and then all kinds of weird stuff starts happening.  Give it a chance..Purty decent.
BTW, the combat scene background are just TRIPPED OUT!!!
