Odd Phase of Olden RPG's...

Good game, but...No sequels or anything. Really unsatisfying to have a good game be in total isolation and never see any expansion of scope.

Plus EB is one of those single-track RPGs. Very little replay value once you beat it 2x. Lots of easter eggs, but again - it's all single-track.

It has a sequel called Mother 3 (or Earthbound 2; it's only been released in Japan but there's a fan translation that's very good). It also has a prequel named Mother (or Earthbound zero) that's also never been released, but has an official English translation.

Were those any good?

I haven't played much of Mother/Earthbound Zero but my impression is that it has serious balance issues, isn't very fun gameplay-wise, but has good story/dialogue. I've played Mother 3 and I'd say it's almost as good as Earthbound.
