Last year, an EarthBound hacker by the name of H.S. released a high-quality Halloween-themed EarthBound hack called Hallow’s End.

I’m sure most folks reading this already know about the game “I Wanna Be The Guy”, which is the game most likely to cause premature baldness. I didn’t know there was something called “I Wanna Be The Tribute” though, and apparently there’s a bunch of EarthBound stuff in one part: I like how the EarthBound stuff was incorporated here, very cool. Although I ...Read More »

A fan by the name of The Author has created a new EarthBound hack called “The Rat Race”. Here’s a snippet of the description: This game, which you might think of as EarthBound for girls, is a project that took several years and a lot of work with JHack and Hex Workshop to complete. Most of what I’ve changed is character names and the text, although I’ve also thrown in a few...Read More »

One of the best EarthBound hacks out there is Radiation’s EarthBound Halloween hack. If you haven’t tried it out yet, I definitely recommend it. Anyway, if you’re clever enough to reach the final boss, you’re treated to a cool, completely-new battle music Radiation called Megalovania. It’s not only really cool music, it’s a very impressive technical feat; if you...Read More »

There are many attempts at making a remake of EarthBound Zero, some using RPG Maker, some more complicated, like the old hack I dropped a while back, and more. Here’s one being worked on by uyuyuy99 that’s basically an attempt to recreate EarthBound Zero to the exact little detail: I’ve always wished there was more than just a simple text editor for Earthbound Zero – you know, like...Read More »

I think it’s a rite of passage for most high-schoolers to figure out how to play or make games on their graphing calculators (well, if your math classes ever require one) – I remember making a ton of games using TI BASIC (on my TI-80) and eventually managed to hack my TI-85 and get homebrew apps like Sokoban on it (which led to me making Tomato Boxes). Anyway, it looks like that spirit...Read More »

Been a while since I last posted about an EarthBound hack! This latest one is called “Colinbound Infina’s Invasion” and is a pretty-heavily hacked version of the game – nearly all of the plot and text has been changed, not to mention the usual stuff like new enemies, places, events, etc. It took DarkUmbreon a few years to complete it. Here’s a short video of the game ...Read More »
