It's one of the rarest video game cartridges in existence. Earth Bound (Mother) was fully ready for release on the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1990, but only got as far as a handful of prototypes. Roo has acquired one of these rare carts and is going in depth to give you all the info he can on it.
Where do each of the carts that have escaped Nintendo of America live now? What's on the circuit board? What does a play through look like? All this and more brought to you courtesy of the Clan of the Gray Wolf.

It may seem a bit meta to review a reviewer, but that's exactly what Robert Million has done with our very own "16-Bit Gems". He was nice enough to ask if this was ok a few months ago and I of course gave him the thumbs up.

Did you ever get a feeling of deja vu when playing a video game - a feeling that perhaps that music was just a bit too familiar? Whether by accident or design, some VG soundtracks sound a lot like pop music that preceded them. Expanding on a subject he touched on in his EarthBound review (16-Bit Gems #11), Roo explores several more 16-Bit games that have very similar music to copyrighted songs of the past.
WARNING: Considering these games came out in the early 90's, there is a lot of 80's influence here. Leggings and Members Only jackets are recommended.
