this was just the snes version but. less of it. but it does have some unique cool stuff. like your grandpa's ghost judging you after a year. and you can get a magic umbrella that makes it rain if you're enough of a badass...

No es el juego mejor diseñado pero a mí me cautivó como para hacer que los juegos de granja me interesaran. Hoy en día no tengo la paciencia pero a mí me flipaba.

Pros: A wonderful little condensed version of Harvest Moon on SNES. A couple new features that weren't in SNES include a cheese and butter maker, additional crops with carrots, eggplants, peanuts, and I think broccoli, there's buying food to eat for meals, being able to play as a female player (huge series first right there), owning a pet cat (d'aww!), a complete underground mine where you can use a pickaxe to, well, mine, as well as forage for mushrooms and fish in a pond, being able to trade items and animals with other players (which is how you get a golden chicken! Something I could never achieve...) and also, last but not least, the game lasts forever!

Cons: All of that at the expense of these features that were in the SNES version; a town you can walk around in, an entire forest and mountain area to explore, being able to woo a spouse (that's a big one for a lot of folks), limited festivals, and being limited to four of each farm animal. Otherwise, this is a very faithful version of Harvest Moon, and with all of those differences (I hope I didn't miss any major ones) It stands on its own very well too.

What it means to me: Whew, wow, okay, so Harvest Moon means a lot to me. The SNES game in particular, I'll talk about in the SNES review, but it was a game I only ever rented, could never find or afford the actual game for myself, but, when the GB version rolled around, my brother and I jumped at the opportunity, and so this, was our first Harvest Moon that we owned, and we savored the hell out of it, we played it night and day, on a Game Boy during our travels and at home on the Super Game Boy peripheral, and then later, on the Game Boy Color with the GBC version. This was a game that was very near, and very dear, and we cherished like it was a, well, second life. We'd go on to enjoy future games in the series more than this one, but this one marked the occasion of finally having a Harvest Moon to ourselves. Very important game to me and my brother.

A pretty fun and snappy half-port of the original Harvest Moon, this game has a couple new features like the harvest sprites, crops in the fall and winter, mining (sort of), turning your cow's milk into artisan goods like cheese and butter. At the complete removal of the more involved town mechanics (being able to talk to npcs and get married, they're all just shops now. That being said, I didn't think this mechanic was that well implemented in the original.)

Unfortunately a lot of the cool content is locked until after your first year, and it's impossible to get Ranch Master in your first year, so you have to play through a pretty boring second year after a good first one to experience all the content.

Needless to say, due to the amount of content, I only played for the one year. Not a bad side-sequel to Harvest Moon, though!

Se você tem acesso a qualquer outro jogo da franquia Harvest Moon, não há porque jogar essa versão.

Harvest Moon Gbc é uma versão reduzida da versão de Super Nintendo, ela remove toda a área da montanha, mecânica de namorar, a cidade inteira se torna apenas um menu, e o único lugar em que você pode realmente controlar o personagem é na sua fazenda, o jogo é praticamente não adiciona nada que seja particularmente interessante e que faça valer a pena jogar essa versão, então se você tem acesso ao Harvest Moon de Super Nintendo ou algum outro então não existe nenhum motivo para jogar essa versão além de curiosidade.
