Earthbound may be my most inexplicable gaming blind spot. I've tried to start it a couple times, but always get distracted...and my JRPG backlog is always so huge that it's never at the top of the list.
One of my earlier memories was being at a K-Mart and being given the choice between two SNES games as my first non-Mario game to own...Earthbound or Mario Paint. I made the right decision for a 6 year-old, but it's hard not to regret that now
Oh, and if you can't tell my parents didn't know anything about gaming. The choice was based entirely on both games coming in giant boxes (Earthbound because of the guide I wouldn't have been able to read; Mario Paint because of the mouse).
Retirement sucks. Everything is awful all the time. Eat Arby's.
