This is a great game. I am an owner of all the other versions (SNES, GB, GBC) and they rule! I played this version and it still blew me away! I played it straight for nearly 12 hours. Note: With cheats, the game get boring quicker, but is much more fun in the end. BUY THIS GAME!

Educational, yet fun!

Harvest Moon 64 is an excellent game that follows in the footsteps of it's predicessors on earlier systems. If you enjoyed the other games, you'll LOVE this one. It's concept may seem simple, but the game is oddly addictive and quite fun. By combining farming vegetables with the need to raise livestock, be an active member of society, woo a girl(hopefully), and run around getting everything done, that games stays interesting. Although the days may seem to pass by too quickly at first, you'll be able to see it is done in the interest of preventing the game from drowning on too long. The music can get annoying, but you can play a cd in the backround. The graphics are claimed to be poor, but in truth, they aren't that bad. It's an excellent buy and although it's hard to determine what makes it so good, but it should please the adventure or RPG fan.

The best N64 game of 99!

This game is so addictive, it's amazing! This is by far the most fun I've had with a game in a while. You can raise your own crops, raise animals, woo girls, collect recipes, it goes on and on. There so much to do in a day, so little time. It's so simple, but so complex. Anybody can pick up the game, and set up a little farm, but only a real master will find everything in the game.

Hours of fun and easy entertainment

This game was a lot of fun to play. An easy to learn system with plenty of highly detailed tutorials in-game to get you going. Based around a farm left to you after your grandfather departed, you need to try and get it back on its feet. There isn't any right or wrong way to do this, and you can raise cattle, sheep, chickens, or any of a number of different crops. Racing your horse and dog and a number of festivals throughout the year also add to the entertainment value. Let's not forget your love life, with five eligible women just waiting for you to win them over, and plenty of extensions to add to your house. A great game that I reccommend to anyone that likes to have a good time.

My favorite game in the world!

First when I got this I was so happy because I have been waiting for it for 3 years. It is so much fun, I was so happy all that waiting was worth it! At first you had to get enough money for crops and then money for a kichen if you wanted to get married, then money for a baby crib to have a baby which actually comes to talk to when its one year old. Oh yeah in the beginning of the whole game your grampa dies and you have to take over his run down farm. I told my best friend about because she loved super nintendo too on this game and now she has it. You get up to eight sheep ang cows and eight chicken. Enjoy!

Natsume tells the truth, it's serious fun

One of the best games I have ever seen, I seriously played it for a whole 3 weeks from 7AM-9PM without being bored. You start out on a dead farm with nothing but weak tools and 300G, but eventually you will get horses and cows, sheep and chicken by just planting crops, you can get sick, your animals will if you don't feed them, they will die, you won't, your sweety will give you medicine if you are sick, if you don't have one you will just stay in bed all day, no one visiting. You will need to treat the animals or they will die. You get married by one of 5 possible candidates named Ann, Maria, Popouri, Karen, and Elli. Ann Is an orange haired girl in a barn with her brother and father, loves animals, will marry a boy named cliff if you are friends with both. Maria is a shy librarian who lives with her mother and father (the mayor is her father) she loves cabbage, marries mailman, like Ann with cliff. Popuri lives with her mum and pa in a flower shop, her father isn't in the Ville most of the year, loves flowers, will marry Ann's brother (Odd couple, a happy girl with a man who's tank is empty on social skills). Karen is beautiful face with a negative disposition toward her father, like a snot nosed punk, but they love each other once you get to know them both, she lives with father, mother, and a foreign boy at a vineyard, easiest to marry, just show her your dog over and over, will marry foreign guy, but might leave if your not nice to her, same with foreign man and cliff. Elli owns a bakery with her grandma, who dies eventually, and a man whom you THINK is the father, but like other brides, will marry him if you don't marry her, she likes milk and eggs to make her cakes, cookies, and pies. Now, I heard that the mayor can be you bride err...husband, I am not sure of that though. Well after you marry, if you are extremely nice to your wife (go to sleep at the same time as her, give her gifts each day, especially on her birthday [can't remember by heart] and don't flirt with other girls) then you can have a baby. The other couples can have a baby too. Order and sell animals and animal products to and from Ann's father, buy seeds from Popouri's mother, sell crops to a guy who looks like he lifts a lot of weights, milk, eggs, and wool too, add attachments to your farm by buying them from the carpenters. Get married by making the heart at the bottom red for the girls, buy a baby crib, and then buying a blue feather and presenting it to the fine young lady of your choice, if they accept, you are officially engaged and get married on the next Sunday. The blue feather doesn't appear until you have a red hearty and a baby crib, and I think a kitchen too. You can befriend anyone in town, even tourists, events happen, it's a real-life-farming-game. that is the basic layout of the game, an even easier layout to understand is, get rich, have a family and have friends. I myself have a copy but, my nintendo doesn't work (with tears), so I may just sell it to amazon in the near future!

This game is da bomb!!

This game is awesome! I have gotten sooo far in this game! You can keep eight sheep and/or cows. You can keep 1 horse, and about six chickens. You own a dog. I have gotten up to haveing a wife and haveing a child. A while into the game [once you get going, its sometime in the spring or summer] you're dad comes to visit you and rates how you have done. That depends on how many animals you have, how many have died, you're crops, and things like that. If you are thinking of getting this game than get it!!! It has a lot of events!! Its great!!

Hopelessly addicting

Harvest Moon 64 is very much like Animal Crossing, which came out two years later. It's a you-either-love-it-or-you-don't game. The game reeks of repetition, but it just has that charm that keeps certain people coming at it over and over. I suppose what really determines which of the two aforementioned categories is how good you are at it. I mean, if you really suck at it, like me, you would spend all day trying to water your plants, and have no time with any interaction, which is the true heart and soul behind this game. Sure, growing crops, raising animals, and foraging are important, but if that's all you do, you're not experiencing this game to its fullest.

Harvest Moon 64 was perhaps the Nintendo 64 game with the largest amount of possible character interaction until Nintendo released Animal Forest in late 2001. There are *counts* *gives up* over 30 people in that little town, and you can speak to all of them. Some of the people are not very fun to talk to, but others provide you with some hearty conversations and long-lasting friendships, especially the five available ladies. Oh yeah. My favorites are Anne and Elli. Ahem...although Harvest Moon 64 has that dating sim aspect, the actual process of winning their hearts is a bit confusing. Perhaps I just don't understand it. Other activities fill the year, such as festivals and horse/dog races. They break the monotony and offer some welcomed changes to the gameplay. Of course, you can add to the monotony during the races by spending time betting max coins for each entry, but I guess that's your choice. The gameplay here is pretty open-ended. It's just that the days pass so fast. Even though your character looks like he should be in middle school, it is possible for you to start a family. It's too bad your son will always stay a mooch. While the monotonous gameplay would seem soporific give it a try anyways. If you're good, then you'd most likely enjoy this game. Not only that, it would also be fun to watch. That's right. It is in fact FUN to watch somebody that is good.

The graphics are nothing special. The entire game is played from a top-down perspective, and your character's movement is a bit...odd, to say the least. Because the action is seen from the angle, moving in diagnals is the way to go. The character models are actually not that bad. They have this cute, beady-eyed look that is quite adorable. The music is very nice, but it is too short and as a result loops too often. Some people faulted the game for talking only in text. But you know what? Voice acting would have ruined it. Oh yeah. This is probably the only N64 with the descriptor "Alcohol Use".

Great For Kids!

My two boys (ages 7 & 10) love this game! We rented it at our local video store four days ago and my boys won't let me take it back! They take turns tending the gardens in the greenhouse and in the garden patch. Getting homework done before they get to play has made getting homework finished a snap! If you don't like your kids to have "shoot'em up" games, get this one!! This game is going on their Christmas wish list! A rule in our house is that if you fight over a game, it's gone for awhile. No fights over this game because they don't want it taken away!
