Just downloaded a ROM of Mother 1 with an English translation. I've never played Earthbound and although I've gathered that it is leagues better than the 1989 game, I still like to start at the beginning of a series.
(I know this is the soundtrack but it's a good resolution nonetheless)
That being said, I like the game so far. It's pretty advanced for it's time. It's pretty apparent a lot of its mechanics were reused for the Pokemon series, which I grew up on, so it's not that difficult to master. The graphics aren't the best, a lot of drab tans and bright greens, but again it's pretty vibrant considering.
