Ngo 2018, I-EarthBound Umhumushi wokuqala, owayeyisisebenzi seNintendo of America u-Marcus Lindblom, wahlangana ne-floppy disk ngenkathi ehlanza ibhokisi elidala lezinto. Ngemva kokufaka ifloppy ekhompyutheni endala, wafunda ukuthi wayesuse okuqukethwe kwidiski eminyakeni edlule ngaphambi kokulondoloza omunye umsebenzi kuyo. U-Lindblom wabe esenikela nge-floppy ku-Video Game History Foundation (VGHF) ngethemba lokuthi bazokwazi ukubuyisa okuqukethwe okususiwe. Ngemva kokusebenza kanzima nokuzinikela, i-VGHF yakwazi ukululama I-EarthBound gcwalisa amafayela ombhalo wombhalo wegeyimu wesiNgisi nesi-Japanese, kanye nekhodi ehlobene yeziqalisi zomcimbi.
U-Clyde “Tomato” Mandelin, osize ekuhumusheni ngokubambisana Umama 3 kuya esiNgisini futhi bayikhiphe njengesiqephu samahhala sabalandeli, ngokubambisana ne-VGHF ukurekhoda abakutholile ngokuningiliziwe, okuningiliziwe iposi blog. Ngenkathi idiski ingenayo i-sprites, ubuciko, noma ukwakheka, okuqukethwe kweskripthi esitholakala ku-floppy kuminyene ngokwanele ukuthi izigebengu ze-VGHF's ROM zikwazile ukuphinda zidale ezinye zezigcawu ezingaqediwe ezishiwo kukhodi namanothi ediski.
Njengoba i-VGHF ixoxa ngevidiyo ye-YouTube yemizuzu engu-28 entsha EarthBound okutholakele, ingcebo yokuqukethwe eyatholwa kudiski inkulu kangangokuthi uTomato unomuzwa wokuthi angabhala incwadi yesibili kuyo (owokuqala Izinganekwane Zokwenziwa Kwasendaweni 2: EarthBound). Ividiyo igxile ekuthathweni okuncane kokunye okutholwe yi-VGHF.
Iskripthi sangaphambi kokugcina esitholwe kudiski siveza izinguquko okungenzeka bezisenzeka ngehora leshumi nanye lokuthuthuka komdlalo. Esikhundleni sokudla i-Magic Cake ukuze ucuphe umuzwa okhohlisayo womdlali kugeyimu, abathuthukisi bebezokwenza umdlali athole ukubhucungwa kwamafutha kowesifazane osebhishi igama lakhe lishintshwe lisuka kuJill laba nguMartha, okungenzeka kube ipun yegama lesi-Japanese elithi “ “ massage.” Ngokwamanothi atholakala kudiski, izinguquko kulo mshini nohlamvu zimakwe ngalokho okubonakala kuwusuku: 7/18. Uma lokhu kubhekiselwa osukwini lukaJulayi 18, 1994, kungasikisela ukuthi izinguquko bezisenzeka ngasekupheleni kukaJulayi 1994, emasontweni ambalwa ngaphambi kokukhululwa kwayo. Mhlawumbe akumangazi ukuthi u-Nintendo wenkathi yama-90s, owayedume kabi ngokuhlolwa kokuqukethwe okuqinile, uzozabalaza nomqondo wokuba nomlingiswa onikeza izingane ukubhucungwa kwamafutha ogwini ukuze azinikeze amaphupho akhohlisayo. (Nakuba mhlawumbe abazange bacabange kahle lapho benquma ukuthi ukuba nowesifazane athengisele izingane izinto ezibhakiwe ukuze ziphume kwakungcono kakhulu.)
Ngenkathi kukhulunywa nge-Nintendos yenkathi yama-90s, sekunesikhathi kwaziwa ukuthi izinkomba eziningi zotshwala enguqulweni yesiJapan ye EarthBound zithathelwe indawo ekukhishweni kwesiNgisi ngezinkomba zeziphuzo ezifana nekhofi noma i-soda, ngenxa yemithetho ye-Nintendo of America engavumeli ukukhuluma kwezidakamizwa, ukubhema, notshwala emidlalweni yabo. Nokho, enye inkomba yotshwala yatholakala embhalweni wangaphambi kowamanqamu. Lapho umlingiswa obalulekile etholakala phansi endaweni engemuva, iqembu lababukeli bakheka elimzungezile; uma umdlali ekhuluma nomunye walaba bantu, bebezothi, "Uyaphefumula ... ubephuzile?" Ekuhumusheni kokugcina, nokho, lo mugqa washintshwa waba, “Uyaphefumula… ngabe ubedlala kanzima kakhulu?”
Ngaphezu kwalokho, abaningi abalingisi ababonakala bengenamagama enguqulweni yokugcina yegeyimu empeleni banamagama ngokwedatha etholakala ku-floppy, abaningi eqinisweni kangangokuthi ividiyo ye-YouTube ye-VGHF ikwazi kuphela ukukhomba abanye babo ukuze kugcinwe ividiyo isezingeni elifanele. ubude. Labo akuzona kuphela izinhlamvu ezikhonjwe ngemuva kocwaningo lwe-VGHF kokuqukethwe kule diski, noma. Ku EarthBound, kunezigcawu ezimbili ezingavamile lapho umuntu ongaziwa noma ingqikithi iphinda ithatha uhambo lomdlali kuze kufike kulelo phuzu futhi ichaze ukuthi yini ezayo ngokulandelayo emdlalweni, bese inika umdlali amazwi esikhuthazo. Nakuba abalandeli bebenemibono eminingi phakathi neminyaka yokuthi ubani ongakhuluma nomdlali ngalezi “zikhathi zekhefu lekhofi netiye,” manje sekuyacaca ukuthi isikhulumi uShigesato Itoi ngokwakhe, umdali wochungechunge lukaMama.
Eqinisweni, abathuthukisi bebezonyonyoba bebhekise ku-Itoi, ngokusho kombhalo wangaphambi kowamanqamu. Edolobheni lase-Threed, kunophawu olune-graffiti kulo. Embhalweni wangaphambi kokugcina, le graffiti yayizofundeka, "Kukhona umuntu owenza imidlalo ngisho nangemva kweminyaka engu-45. Kodwa ngeke ngisho ukuthi ubani." U-Itoi wahlanganisa iminyaka engu-45 ngesikhathi kuthuthukiswa I-EarthBound. Lo mlayezo we-graffiti washintshwa enguqulweni yokugcina yomdlalo: ngesi-Japanese ufundeka kanje, "Abadala, izingane, kanye nodadewenu imbala." (isiqubulo sesi-Japanese somdlalo) nangesiNgisi sifundeka kanje, “...Vele uyidlale!”
Noma ngabe ungumlandeli omkhulu EarthBound kanye nochungechunge lukaMama noma umlandeli nje womlando wegeyimu yevidiyo, kufanelekile ukunikeza ividiyo iwashi kanye nebhulogi ifundwe ukuze ufunde kabanzi mayelana nalokho okutholwe ku-floppy disk. Baxoxa indaba ethokozisayo mayelana nezinselele zokwenziwa kwasendaweni, izinselelo zokucwaninga, ukulinganiselwa kwezithombe zenkathi, nokunye okwengeziwe, kodwa okubaluleke kakhulu babhala umsebenzi obaluleke ngempela izazi-mlando zegeyimu yevidiyo ezinawo ekugcineni okutholakala okungandile njengalokhu. Sazise ukuthi ucabangani ngalezi ezintsha EarthBound izambulo ngezansi.
