"'''''Earth Bound'''''" is a prototype of the unreleased English translation of '''''MOTHER''''' that was discovered in 1998. Would officially be released on the Wii U Virtual Console as '''''EarthBound Beginnings''''' in 2015.
==Notes==
*Was long known unofficially as '''''EarthBound Zero''''' in fan circles due to initial releases of the ROM having the title screen edited by fans to differentiate itself from the SNES game.
*Initially announced for a Fall 1991 release in Vol. 18 of Nintendo Power. However, it seems as if Nintendo was still considering the game for a possible release as late as March of 1994, as this cartridge shows.
*The localization was fully completed and ready to ship, but was said to have been shelved due to the marketing department having no faith in the game's success. Another factor likely would have been the extra cost in producing a planned pack-in strategy guide.
**Was confirmed by localizer Phil Sandhop that the final build (likely to be this one) was completed on [http://www.lostlevels.org/200407/200407-earthbound2.shtml September of 1990].
*Officially released internationally through the Wii U Virtual Console as '''''EarthBound Beginnings'''''.
*All of the changes made specifically for this version were carried over to 2003's ''MOTHER 1+2'' for Game Boy Advance.

An American and European localization(?) prototype of '''Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas''' for '''PC''', through '''Steam'''.

==Notes==
*This prototype is classified as '''"beta"''' on Steam.
*This build was never released, and he files that exist - with the exception of the executable, all other files are exactly the same as the version released on '''November 7, 2014.'''
*There are probably files newer than the exe creation date, but as the date of these files is unknown, the build is from '''August 28, 2014''' (final version released in November is dated '''October 15, 2010''').
*This page contains the build of manifests '''"5712455383574999089"''' and manifest '''"4724889147718564839"''' dated '''September 2, 2014''' - Once again, the build date of the remaining files is unknown as they are exactly the same with the only exception being the existence of the files '''"french.gxt"''', '''"german.gxt"''' and '''"italian.gxt"''' in 5712455383574999089.
*This last build mentioned may be European because of the existence of these added files while the other build is for the American region.
* All audio files are missing.
* Steam is not required to initialize the build however it will crash before reaching the main menu due to missing audio files.
* '''NOTE:''' I repacked the build files onto zip (through WinRAR) and i'll upload it here, along with the missing audio files to make those build works. I can't find Main Menu screenshot to upload it here so here goes the copyright screen, sorry D:

== Message from SEGASaturno ==
SSU-03 / SegaSaturno Unreleased 03

Title: LOBO

Developer: Ocean of America

Publisher: Ocean Software

Platform: Mega Drive/Genesis

Size: 24 megabits

Cancelled in 1996

Brought back on September 15th, 2009

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For our third release, SegaSaturno is proud to present a never released video game of the Main Man. The famous interstellar biker and bounty hunter from DC Comics, Lobo, joins the fun in this one-on-one brawler featuring rendered graphics and button mashing by Ocean Software's American division.

Intended for release in 1996 for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System and Sega Mega Drive/Genesis but cancelled for both consoles in a last minute decision, now it's up to everyone to take part in this fighting frenzy set up in the Lobo universe with this virtually completed build of the Mega Drive/Genesis version, which is probably what would have made to stores, have the game been released.

This game is very similar to RARE's Killer Instinct, not only in the graphical deparment, but also on the side of combat basis and rules. Players have three life bars to beat their opponents, instead of winning separated rounds. As a continuous bout, the match ends only when any of the characters deplete all the opponent's three life bars.

Several characters and game modes are present. Lobo has an specific Solo venture in which he'll have to cross the universe looking for several convicts of the likes of Kringle, Loo, Nitro, Shada and Dox, which rate to different cash rewards. All these rival characters are also playable in the Versus, Tournament and Practice modes, along Lobo himself.

See you next release!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6 BUTTON CONTROL NOTICE

For all six button lovers out there, this game fully supports the 6 button controller pad, since it relies to the Street Fighter fighting variant of three punchs and three kicks with different speed and strength, with punchs and kicks being switchable in the standard 3 button controller by pressing START.

However, a warning goes to everyone using the six button gameplay when fighting Kringle, since this Santa Claus esque baddie is able to mess up your six button configuration by freezing you with a cold breath, switching your controls to the three button setup until you reset the game. Some kind of unfixed bug, I'll say.

Also, to pause a game, you'll need to press and hold START, no matter what button setup is used.
