Honestly. I don't know why this is here. But this is one of my most favorite Nintendo JRPG'S and games of all time (right next to wind waker). Earthbound at its core is such a fun, quirky and game, yet it helped inspire dozens of similar games to follow suit (Undertale is an obvious comparison, but don't let the comparisons fool you). But to me, what make's Earthbound so fun is its relatability. Usually RPG's are set within the confines of a fantasy world with dragons, spells, monsters and the sort, however, Earthbound chooses to ground you in a suburban neighborhood. It captures that aspect of childhood that sparks curiosity. If you haven't yet, please play Earthbound, it's considered to be one of Nintendo's neglected children, yet despite that, it has a special place in many people's hearts, mine included.

Colosseum: Road to Freedom
Colosseum: Road to FreedomTaken into slavery, you are now a gladiator. Your only chance at freedom is to earn enough money in the arena to buy yourself back. Whether in a lowly arena on the outskirts of the Empire or in the Colosseum itself, a wide variety of opponents await: heavily armed charioteers, wild bulls, fellow gladiators and more. In a series of battles, from battle royales to one-on-one duels, you must entertain the crowds by spilling blood. After battles, it's time to train. A series of minigames improves your attributes and your diet perfects your body. Study your rankings, play around with your special skills, and await the next battle. Colosseum: Road to Freedom is a self-described Action RPG, controlled in the third-person and works as a gladiator simulator.
