Occasionally videogames do more than entertain. These special games often transcend their own genres, capture the imagination and begin to inspire. For fans of the EarthBound series at Starmen.net, EarthBound has done just that. It has inspired a legion of fans to create, share, and take part in a larger plan to get the sequel to the series, Mother 3, to the Western world. In this case, the community has extended its passion to Will Wright’s Spore.
While Spore has had its share of problems with DRM complaints and landed itself in history by spinning off an assortment of phallic creations coined as “Sporn” it’s nice to see something beyond the complaints. Notice the detail that went into all of these builds. I’m in love with the Fobby to say the least.
Personally, I’m a huge fan of EarthBound and I’ve been waiting spectacularly too long for a release on the Wii’s Virtual Console or GBA. Yet, while we all wait, it’s cool to see what the community has done to expose the game even more.

Dungeonman looks spectacular!
I just finished Mother 3 yesterday. It was AWESOME. I can't wait to restart a game in about a month and actually UNDERSTAND something. Thanks starmen!
I've actually already seen all those spore EB characters (yes, I follow starmen.net daily. I'm what you can call a huge EB fan.) And Phase Distorter FTW!
this is sweet! such attention to detail.
amazing what fans can do :-)
Earthbound isn't the first to get this kind of spore treatment. A quick search around youtube and you will find some really good Pokemon, Zelda, starwars, starcraft, final fantasy, Halo, so much more... They even got game controlers and office chairs
This is Spore's beauty: the ability to make anything. Stuff like this is just proof there are people taking this more seriously than just making an army of penis monsters.
So awesome :)
Those are amazing
Kudos to whoever made them
big ups to starmen and earthbound fans in general, as usual. Man I love that game.
the idea of a civilization phase with a phalic creature is pretty hilarious lol.
More ridiculously awesome stuff from Earthbound fans that Nintendo of America will continue to ignore.
