I just finished playing through Mother/EarthBound Zero again (for, I think, the third, or maybe fourth, time now), in preparation for the imminent release of the fan translation of Mother 3.
Starting tomorrow, I intend to play through EarthBound (for what's probably the seventh or eight time). However, I'm undecided as to whether I want to play the game via emulator on my PC or on my SNES. With zsnes, I'd have access to save states and speed-up/slow-down and all that nifty stuff, as well as headphones for the music and such. However, playing it on the actual hardware on a TV is more authentic. Oh well, I'll decide that when I get home tomorrow.
While watching the end credits for Mother, it hit me again that I actually know one of the guys that worked on the game, which I think is pretty amazing. Phil works at GameInstinct now, same as me, and it looks like he started there around the same time that I did (my first stint with them for summer work started in June 2005). He's an awesome guy, like most of the other guys that work there. I haven't spoken to him about Mother yet, though I keep meaning to do so. Maybe the release of the fan-trans of Mother 3 will be a good opportunity to bring it up, see what he thinks about it and such.

He mostly seemed a bit weirded out by the whole deal. He says he still gets emails even now from people asking him stuff about it. He also talked about the authenticity of the prototype of Mother that got out into the wild somehow, similar to what he said in this interview with Lost Levels (http://www.lostlevels.org/200407/200407-earthbound2.shtml) from a few years ago.
