Mother (also known as EarthBound Beginnings) is a 1989 Famicom role-playing video game developed by Nintendo Tokyo R&D Products (co-developed by Ape and Pax Softnica) and released by Nintendo in Japan on July 27, 1989. From Shigesato Itoi comes an authentic RPG with a modern-style stage! Mother's Day, the rural American town this boy lives in. It was peaceful here - until yesterday. Zombies back from the grave and crazed animals have been attacking the town residents - almost as though being controlled by someone... or something. At this rate, the town is doomed! What will happen to the Earth? And what about those dear to you...? The boy makes a resolution and leaves his home. And his adventure continues as he finds friends who will fight alongside him. The keyword is courage and friendship, not to mention love...
