Paper Ice Cream 10,236 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Welcome to the Official thread of Harvest Moon, known in Japan as BokujÅ Monogatari (ç‰§å ´ç‰©èªž lit. Farm Story ?), is a farm simulation role-playing video gameseries created by Yasuhiro Wada and produced by Victor Interactive Software (acquired by Marvelous Entertainment in 2003). English translation and distribution of the games that are produced by Marvelous is currently done by XSEED Games, although it was previously done by Natsume before Marvelous suddenly backed out upon them (Natsume now continues to use their rightfully owned trademark for there own, new farming simulation games, as is their lawful right) for North America. English translation and distribution in Europe is done by Rising Star Games. The main objective of the game is to rebuild a run-down old farm and turn it into a successful one. Over a period of time the player tends to crops and livestock, befriends nearby townsfolk, and eventually in some series get married and start a family. The first game was Harvest Moon, released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1996.

You can get the other versions through simulator. ^^ I still play my Harvest Moon DS game sometimes when I'm bored, even though the game got a bit unexciting once I got married and had a kid. Sometimes I get bored too when I got married and had a baby so I restart the game again and try courting another girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teehees 19 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Oh wow, the last time I played this game was ages ago lol but I stopped playing because I'm so busy working right now. I think the best HM was Back to Nature. I played the GBA version for a while (where we could collect magic stones? and build a cottage on the hill), it was really fun I got to choose to play as a girl :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MooMoorionette 77 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Always used to play it years back on my DS, but for some reason I could never find that blue feather or something you had to collect to marry the girl.. I probably wasn't very good at the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady_Ageha 3 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 i love harvest moon (bokujo monogatari) so much to the point i've become obsessed with it . i play almost all the series until now. maybe this game is the reason why i still playing the game. i remember the first HM i played is Back to Nature on PS 1 and after i buy PS 2 i played all the HM games on that platform. while i playing one of those HM game on PS2, i found the web called fogu.com and from there i know there are lots of HM series outside playstation. after knowing that, i downloaded the emulator to play another series and buy another console (wii and 3ds) to play the new one. i haven't try SoS, but i'm planning soon. my fav Harvest moon is Wonderful life and Animal Parade. Oh, and i also play Rune factory series too ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
