I remember, back in the day, this magazines reviews had strong influence. and it’s sad that the game got such a review. if I would have read this. I probably never would have played the game. (but it sounds like the reviewer didn’t either)

I’m assuming he got past onette but just stopped playing after since he didn’t seem liked he cared for the game much.

Hey it’s cool people still see this and comment on it every once in a while. I feel like I did my small part for the EB community, and all I did was hoard crap I should have tossed years ago.

Maybe I should have taken the time to get a better scan, but when I saw it was readable I was done.

Keep in mind folks, this was a section of the mag DEDICATED to rpgs. This was clearly written by someone who was not into rpgs and under a ridiculous deadline that shouldn’t have even been necessary for such a niche market.

There is a possibility that ‘Threet’ was what the localizers planned to change Threek into, or just that this guy had a hangover while writing this, personally I think that the EGM reviewer was better than this guy, I think Mato screwed up a whole bunch when he said that the GamePro review was better than the EGM one. At least that guy had the decency to PROOF-READ what he was WRITING.

The thing you guys have to realize is that this guy probably got the game and had to finish the article the next day. Nintendo Power was affiliated with Nintendo, so their writers got to play preview/demo builds of games way before release. I’m not saying it’s an excuse for the misinformation, but deadlines can be brutal. Also, some of the misinformation is understandable, since the internet wasn’t fully developed and sources weren’t easily accessible.

I was the 600th person to vote ‘No’. I feel special.

I wish I had a copy of this review, it sounds hillarious. Besides, maybe it tells me how to get to Theet. I’ve been looking forever.

“The lack of a convincing storyline and the dull NES-clone graphics (the game is a portover from an 8-bit Japanese famicon title) will make serious RPG fans a little cautious about approaching EarthBound.”

So many fallacies packed into one sentence…
