EarthBound. Even though CherryRom says it's not, it IS a classic (it's even in the classic games list at funcoland.com!). CherryRom is stupid. It dosen't even HAVE ANY ROMs and it calls itself cherryrom! Even my friend (the one with the snes, see news for June 9) likes it and he has only played it for about 30 min.!

So here are some Screen Shots thanks to ZSNES (press F1):
The title screen.
Bus from Fourside to Twoson.
Let me see.... Izzy, Mimi, Joe, PSI DIGI, I wonder if this guy watches Digimon?
Oh baby!
Me good name? Kay-o! Zoom!
Oh my God! You killed Kenny! I mean... you killed Paula and Jeff!
Richie Rich? Oh, it's just you, Pokey.
The sound stone... funky.
When this was taken I was at a low level for that area. As you can see, I lost.
They got this picture from a book called 'the war of the worlds'. I wonder why they seperated earth and bound here but not on the title screen.
'Just play it' was one of Nintendo's old motto thingies. Kind of like 'get n or get out'. What's there motto thingy now anyway?
Sweet!
That's all for now. I'll have more later.

I've been playing EB a lot so I haven't updated. Now I'm up to Carbon dog / Diamond Dog. Yeah, I got my player's guide too (hey, that's not cheating!). Soon I'll add a fanfic section. I am jut completeing one, called NESS VS. TENTOMON. Hmm... this hould be intresting. Anyway, now for some news on PK HACK. Howto find out if your ROM is compatable with PK Hack. First set your computer so that all .smc files are opened with ZSNES (the emulator). Then go open your .smc file not by going into ZSNES, just by double clicking it. It should say "crt name" when ZSNES comes up. If it says EARTH BOUND as the cart name, it's not compatable. If it says EARTH BOUND (J) then it is compatable. I also added some new stuff like Electro Specter to the tips section.
JULY 14
Today nothing much happened, except I ordered an SNES from funcoland so now I don't have to go over to my friends house to play. I'm still working on finding the fifth mole in Dusty Dunes Desert on my ROM. My mom also said that if I'm nice my brothers fried that comes over today shell get me the EarthBound players guide... straight from the pros at Nintendo! Also I found the tight Game Genie code to walk thru walls!So maybe some stuff did happen today. Anyway, I'm getting tired of writing, so I'm going to play my 64.
JULY 13
Well, I'm back from my vacation. But when I found out that my cousin's SNES was PAL version, I was sayin 'crap!' cause I couldn't play. I also added some more pics and soon I'll have the Criminal Catepiller cheat up! Also while I was gone they realesed Kirby 64!!!!! YES!!!!! Go go go Kirby!!!!! I saw the commercial where it says "we have 3 [kirby shoots out something].. TWO wonderful pets to choose from" Tight!
JUNE 9
My submission (newsletter logo) got in the Starmen.net newsletter! Yes! Today I also started playing my EB cart. I didn't have an SNES when I got it. I got it so I could use the ROM. But now I just found out that one of my friends has an SNES! YES! Since I bought my cart used (www.funcoland.com), it had a game save on it. They are at level 99 and it dosen't look like they've used a Game Genie or Pro Action Replay! So far they are in the lost underworld. But I started my own game. I got to level 7 and beat Frank and Frankystien Mark II. In case you were wondering, I'm going to see my cousin there. Good thing they have an SNES so I can play EarthBound there, so I won't be COMPLETELY shut out from EB. And I printed out a walkthru for it, too, so I can go faster. They don't have a Game Genie or Pro Action Replay, so there's no cheating (except for the walkthru). I just found out that the speed on the SNES is much greater than the one on my ZSNES! MUCH FASTER! I have never seen EB this way, the way it was meant to be. No wonder I thought the Runaway 5 sucked, they were going too slow! Now just wait till I get to Twoson...
JUNE 8
Today I set this site up. I got some screenshots, and I just downloaded the Mr. Saturn font from starmen.net. If you don't already have it, get it!
