EarthBound Fun Facts

During development, EarthBound's script was so large that it had to be compressed to fit onto the game cartridge. The game also features a rolling HP meter mechanic, which gives players a brief window to heal or finish battles before a character's hit points reach zero after taking a major hit, a unique feature for RPGs at the time.
In EarthBound, there's a Sword of Kings item that only has a 1 in 128 chance of dropping from a specific enemy, making it one of the game's most elusive treasures.

Easy Delivery Co.

Easy Delivery Co. is such a wonderful gem of a game. If you have a retro driving itch, this is a great pick. I was looking for an atmospheric driving game, and this satisfied that itch perfectly. While the graphics are PS1 era, the snow brought me back to the Donkey Kong Country snow/blizzard level - and it was just perfect. Highly recommend checking this one out.
