Earthbound Zero for NES - what's your opinion?

[FirstxDegree]

I recently acquired Earthbound Zero for NES.

Before everyone jumps all over this,The version I have is a copy of the original cartridge, not a dump from the internet. It is a complete version of the game in English, not just a translation like the ROM's online. It has a professionally printed label and an offical Nintendo dust sleeve as seen in the pictures below.

It's my understanding that many of the ROMS online are translations where as this is the original intended US version. The US version has slightly different character sprites (anything resembling blood or violence was removed by Nintendo for US release). I have not noticed any difference in the translations, but I had only played a few hours into it. BTW, it's backup battery is a new one, not the original battery, so I have no worries about it dying.

I am just looking for some of your opinions. Thanks!!
