Earthbound is a wonderful game and honestly, anyone who likes RPGs should play it. Taking the bus instead of having an airship! New Age Retro Hippies! It's also an excellent summer game, at least to me, since I first played it over the summer after it came out.
Also, it's not exactly obscure, as you said, but how many gamers have still yet to play it? Exposing more people to it would be a worthy goal, for sure.
My only concern is that starmen.net does group play thingies of that game... every year, is it? Pretty often, anyway. Of course our community would be different from theirs and all, so it would still be unique. If you guys want to play it, I was looking for an excuse to replay it anyway...
