'''Mother''' ( | |||
'''Mother''' (Japanese: '''MOTHER''', sometimes rendered in katakana as '''マザー''') is an RPG released on the [[Famicom]] in 1989, developed by [[Ape Inc.]] and published by [[Nintendo]]. It is somewhat well-known in Japan, spawning two sequels, though neither of them features the same protagonist as Mother. | |||
The game was translated into English by Nintendo of America in 1990 and slated for a 1991 release, but marketing delays prevented the translated game, rebranded as '''Earth Bound''', from ever seeing release. The fan group Demiforce, who had been working on a translation of the game at the time, discovered that a prototype cartridge had been sold to Kenny Brooks, a game collector, and made a deal with him to release a ROM of the game to the public in 1998. The ROM featured minor alterations to get around the copy protections Nintendo had placed on it, as well as the addition of "Zero" to the title screen to differentiate it from [[EarthBound|its sequel]], which had received an English release in 1995. | |||
