EARTHBOUND screens I (50 screens)
I’ve been playing through an old favorite of mine, the game EARTHBOUND, with my very young son, reading everything to him (and he likes the game very much). As I’ve been playing I’ve grabbed screen shots of what reminds me why I love the game. This is a gallery of those screen grabs.

What I love about the game:
- It is the story of four children who conquer Giygas, the Cosmic Destroyer.
- Japanese wackiness. As you can see from the gallery, it is full of good-natured, daffy characters.
- It is incredibly musically versatile, prolific, expressive, and in my opinion, beautiful. Here is the track for your home.

- The ultimate, world-saving weapon in the game is prayer. This is combined with the work of knocking back into their senses anyone or anything that has gone wild or insane (such as a Rowdy Mouse or Insane Cultist). Or, if they are a mortal enemy (such as a lil’ UFO, Spinning Robo, or Starman), destroying them.
