  • Earthbound—no wait hear me out.

    Yeah it’s a 16 bit RPG about a really surreal alien invasion, but the whole world is full of lively NPCs with unique dialogue that often changes depending on where you are in the game. Even though the world of Earthbound is a surreal exaggeration of 1990s America, it’s a really detailed world with every line of dialogue giving glimpses into people’s ordinary (or not so ordinary) lives.

    You ever get really engrossed in a book or movie to the point where when you stop reading/watching there’s a brief moment of shock where you suddenly remember your own identity all at once, like waking up from a dream? Earthbound was the first time I experienced that sensation from a video game.
