I own every one from the Psx up except Futuristic Harvest Moon and as simple and as basic as it is its so Addicting that I cant stop playing.
An updated version of the famous : A Wonderful Life game called Oh! A Wonderful Life was released in Japan for the PlayStation 2 in November 2004. The English language version was called A Wonderful Life Special Edition and was released in late 2005. While very similar to the original version of A Wonderful Life, some extra items and events were added in addition to an updated soundtrack. The most notable changes were the ability to have a daughter and marry Lumina (a character players could not marry in A Wonderful Life).
On the surface, Natsume's excellent farm sim/RPG Harvest Moon: Save the Homeland is a simple game. When I first heard of Harvest Moon 64, I said to myself, "How can they make a game about farming? What's there to do?" But soon I found out. There were chickens to be fed, fields to be plowed, seeds to be planted, and ladies to be wooed. Harvest Moon 64 was one of the most deep, engaging games I have played. That same spirit continues in Save the Homeland, except this time, in addition to raising a farm, you have to find a way to save your land from impending doom. Developers want to come in and turn your community into a resort; you have to make sure that doesn't happen.
But before you do that you'll have to learn how to run your farm. The following guide is intended to help you get a fast start so you can get your farm on track immediately, begin making money, and focus on the other task at hand...saving the homeland!
One of the neat things about the way the game is structured is how you gradually discover the successive levels of the sim. As you start out, all you have to deal with is a little farming, learning how to keep your crops alive and producing. Once that becomes de rigeur, it's about time to get into animal husbandry -- you learn how to keep your dog happy, then the chickens, then the cows, then the horse. If you ever bore of that end of things, you probably have enough money to build a kitchen and start cooking. Once you can cook, hey, you can start bringing cakes to the girls...
Harvest Moon: Back To Nature was the first title of the Harvest Moon series to be released on the Playstation. Though many Harvest Moon games have been released since then, including Magical Melody, A Wonderful Life, and Harvest Moon: DS, Back To Nature is still considered a fan favorite.
The game is rated "E" by the ESRB, and is further rated as depicting use of alcohol.
Though many of the characters are taken from Harvest Moon 64, they have somewhat different personalities, families, and occupations. Then there are some new characters who did not appear in HM64, such as Pastor Carter and the Doctor.
The Gameboy color this and the N64 are the ones that started the Harvest Moon series.
Actually Harvest Moon started out on the SNES.
I enjoy the Harvest Moon games, but I like Rune Factory even more (it's Harvest Moon with Zelda like dungeons and monster fighting).
Natsume is a cool company. I've been in contact with them for a very long time.
Everyone keeps telling me about rune factory im going to have to get that one.:)
So worthwhile tracking down then. I enjoyed playing River King, which you recommended to me last year,
ive seen River King on the PSN. It's good then?
It's a game about catching fish and cooking recipes. There's a story, too, and you do quests for people, and you fish some more. I really enjoy it, and I heard about it from a previous blog of Rodney's and decided to give it a try.
I nearly bought one of these from the classics collection this weekend, but ended up getting the first Disgaea game instead
I played Harvest Moon for the Gamecube when it released on that console, and remember thinking that I'd never experienced anything like that sort of game. I remember thinking that I was surprised, and was unsure of who this game was being marketed at. I enjoyed it though!
I hadn't played any Harvest Moon games. I would like to play them too. I don't even own any. That has to change this year.
I played A Wonderful Life on Gamecube. It was great. I also have the newest Harvest Moon, A New Beginning on 3DS. I've also branched out into the Rune Factory series of late.
So is Rune Factory any good I have heard mixed feelings on it and the reveiws were not impressive.
Hey Back to Nature, I have that game! I remember reading on a message board about how everyone loved it, so I hunted down a copy. I didn't play much but I liked it. I didn't care for the futuristic one on the PSP, I don't know why. After reading your blog I'm regretting now buying the PS2 versions when they were somewhat easy to find.
Physical copys are getting harder and harder to find I have all but future harvest moon but all digital but I would rather have physical copies.
Yup its crazy how a bunch of these games I remember seeing for $10-15 at GameStop are now going for more than their original retail. Demand for them is nuts, and here's to hoping we stumble upon them in the local thrift stores.
I love Harvest moon! I have A New Begining onmy 3DS right now and am excited to start hearing about the newest one that currently has no release date whatsoever here in the US -_- It better come dammit!
Rune Factory is great, its Harvest moon with RPG elements. You would for sure like it,especially since you like Harvest Moon already. Im shocked reviews werent good, I read it sold well enough for a 5th game which Im also excited about.
