Total aside, but the amazing physical design of the original Mother box deserves a mention. That solid red box with the raised golden font and earth logo for the O is so visually striking, even today. I can imagine, if it were released in the West, how much it would have stood out and grabbed my attention amongst all the other Nintendo games at Babbages or Kay-Bee.

The original Mother 1 ads might not have been great at the time but I guarantee today they are looked upon with much admiration. They have this very atmospheric mystique to them not found in many other ad campaigns, especially for what was considered a children's toy. In a post Stranger Things world, and how lucrative nostalgia mixed with a light unsettling creepiness is, these ads are extremely intriguing to many different demographics which is the whole point of a advertisement to begin with.

The title "Mother" is perfect in so many ways; when you are scared or despairing, you call for mother to comfort you; and in the context of the story, who is it that gives you what you need to defeat the big bad?  None other than the big bad's "mother", and it is their love for her that defeated them.

This is my favourite nes game. I’m still surprised Itoi and his team manage to make a game so grandiose on the nes. It may not be as loved as it’s sequels but mother 1 is something special.

I'm gonna be honest, I have a long history with Earthbound as a series, and it all goes back to me being maybe 12 - 13 when brawl first came to the wii. I had no idea who Ness and Lucas were, but I decided to give them a try anyway. And that's when I ended up really liking them, but never got to play the games they were from. When I found out what emulators were I decided to play Mother 1 and Earthbound first. And well, I had a blast! The story was very quirky and humorous, but it definitely knew when to buckle down and get serious, and it gave me more insight to Ness as a character. When I moved onto Mother 3, thats when I was blown away by just how emotional of a game it was. Its got some very heavy real life issues in it that made me change the way I approached certain things. Overall, thanks to this, its become my favorite RPG series of all time, and jt taught me more about life than I thought.
