It was good but not the best

Overall it was good but it is kind of complicated to understand if you have never played it before. I would still recomend it to you but I would also say that you should read the manual very well

Alright

I thought that the game was okay, I guess. It was cool when you start out and your farm is new and all, but after 20 minutes or so it gets kinda boring 'cause you have the same problems with your farm over and over again. If you want a slow, no action game, then this would be perfect.

The best game ever

It's awesome, It's so fun and never gets boring because something happens all the time.

Too real.

I was impressed with SimFarm at first because of the wide variety of crops available to grow, in any region or climate of the United States. Also, there are many temperature guages and budgets and things that show you all sides of running a farm. HOWEVER there was one major glitch in this game- it's too much work. You always have to be out spraying your fields, all the time, for the same things over and over. It got so that I didn't want to play this game because it took too much work- kind of why I wouldn't want to be a real farmer. One other small thing- once I finally made enough money to get a spray plane, there was no way to get it to land!

Exxcellent

I just bought the game 2 days ago and I can't stop playing it! I admit, the graphics are a little bad but that is probably because it was MADE IN 1993 and that was what was considered good back then. You can grow a variety of crops and then kill off stuff for them. I was playing it with my dad and he took it way too seriously. It is a good game for the couch poatato farmer. PS-It doesn't come with instructions, but you can figure the controls out easily.

Good for an old game.

This game is good for when it was made, but it lacks the on-going game qualities of other Maxis Sim games. A good buy for a short term amusement.

In the game, you are able to build plot-like fields of farms with varying types of crops, like strawberries or grains. What you want to plant will depend on where you are located in the U.S. (which you choose at the beginning). Little icons appear to show you if you have pests or other problems with your crops. You can apply chemicals by tractor or plane. I never could get the crop duster to work very well, though. Then you harvest and can sell immediately or wait till the price goes up. But the price might go down, or you might wait too long and your crop will spoil.

Personally, I'd probably buy another Sim-type game over this one. It is quite outdated for today's graphics and sounds, and is not very complex. For the time, it wasn't too bad.

Quite okay

This is a good game, but it gets boring after a while. In the beginning, it's kind of exciting, because you have to make sure you have enough money for fields, machinery, irrigation, etc. But after a while, you're just doing the same thing over and over again, and it can really get boring. It's neat when the house on the screen gets bigger, but it happens rarely, so by the time it happens for the fourth time or so, you get really bored, and it's time for a new computer game. The good part about the game (or, for some people, the bad part) is that it's really addictive, and you won't want to do anything else. It's the kind of game that you play for a week or so, get bored, and then maybe play it again in a couple of months. It gets boring too fast, so it's probably best to play it until you get bored, and then give it (or sell it) to someone else.

Bad Game

This game is boring! And your cropduster ALWAYS crashes. No controls. It just flys around 'till it runs out of gas. Don't be fooled, it's not worth the money!
