EarthBound (Mother in Japan) is a role-playing game series created by Shigesato Itoi for Nintendo. The series started in 1989 with Mother for the Famicom/NES, and was then followed up by a sequel, Mother 2 (known as EarthBound in America) for the Super Famicom/Super NES system, and followed up again much later with Mother 3 for the Game Boy Advance in 2006.
Although most RPGs depict knights and wizards in pseudo-medieval settings (such as Final Fantasy), the Mother series takes place in more modern present-day settings. Mother is set in a suburban America in 1988, while Mother 2 is set in 199X in EagleLand and Mother 3 is set on Nowhere Island. Enemies consisted of everything from aliens, to possessed cars, to evil hippies. Instead of swords and shields, weapons consisted of household items, from Yo-yos to frying pans. The series became extremely popular in Japan, and merchandise for the game was produced, including shirts, handbooks, and even a fully-orchestrated and performed soundtrack. Its popularity matched and even surpassed that of Dragon Quest which is an irony, due the series' battle scenes being very similar to Dragon Quest (first person with minimalistic graphics).

I think #Earthbound, for all its ups and downs, would make a brilliant television series, if made well and cast perfectly.
