16-Bit Gems #10: EarthBound - A History

For his 10th 16-Bit Gem, Roo celebrates by taking a thorough look at the history of perhaps the biggest cult hit video game series of all time.  He'll explore the twists and turns of how a poor-selling, quirky Japanese RPG gained a massive following - culminating in perhaps the most devoted video game fanbase on the internet.  Enjoy what we believe to be the most comprehensive video history of EarthBound ever made.

And watch for the next episode, which will be a full fledged review of EarthBound, the game itself.

Awesome history! I think this is the most complete history so far, and the only one that didn't bore me to death.
