Harvest Moon-type game for PC?
« on: January 07, 2009, 09:48:17 pm »

Anyone know of a game that plays like Harvest Moon for PC?  Apparently there was one released in 1997, but I can't find a legitimate seller for it.

Funny timing, the other day I pondered wether I should ask the abundant wisdom of this subforum for farming style games or not.

As for you, sadly, I can only think of all the harvest moon versions you can easily run emulated, such as the SNES or the PS1 version. Should be a matter of 15 minute google-fu to pull it off.

There is this one flash game, I think it's called "3rd world farmer", but it's too easy, too simple and too short.

I would murder a thousand one-legged orphan children HOPIN' AND BELIEVIN' FOR A BETTER TOMORROW to play a Harvest Moon game native to the PC. It's such an odd genre to describe to a person - farming simulator come RPG come dating game - but goddamn if I haven't lost more hours on Harvest Moon than any other game.

Personally I hate everything JRPG about harvest moon. I was just taking care of my fields most of the time  ;D

You call them kobolds, I call them "automated irrigation system"  ;D I'd love some nice gardening games. I'm a freak, I guess.

Then again, I consider Infinity to be overly ambitious, something that might easily spell it's downfall.

It looks like Harvest Moon, but it's more like one of those time-management games with lots of clicking.

The URL speaks for itself. There's next to no info, though.
