Jian-Yang!

Extra points for The Simpsons reference in your title, 11/10 post.

How much you wanna make a bet I can throw a football over them mountains?

You’ve got red on you.

That’s awesome, well done! Any idea if it’s worth it to take the passwords you’ve earned over to Oracle of Seasons in order to unlock the alternate plot points, expanded story and extended ending? I always liked the idea of the two games interacting to create a third unique experience, but never knew anyone who actually used the interactive features.

The more I think about this the more curious I am as to what’s on it. Nice work reaching out to the Smithsonian, sometimes you gotta take action to satiate curiosity.

Great suggestions here already, I’ll throw a few more on top:

• Omori (similar and often compared to Earthbound but the silly fun stuff gets darker and more serious as the story goes on)
• Super Mario RPG (another Squaresoft JRPG from the era of Chrono Trigger and FFVI, very fun and satisfying turn-based combat mechanics, quirky to the max, Squaresoft really had a blast creating a Mario style world. The remaster just released for the Switch, but if you don’t have one then you can easily get a digital port of the original SNES version)

Reminds me of Napoleon Dynamite’s pocket tots.
