  You might as well face it you're addicted to farming.

  By DryvBy27 | Review Date: Apr 11, 2006 | SNES

  Good Idea: ·Very addicting ·You'll play through it 3 times before growing a tad bit tired. ·Fun music. Bad Idea: ·Can't really play after your dad shows up. ·Can't cut your dog up with the axe. ·The goddess isn'... Read Full Review

  This was an amazing first game of a classic series on multiple platforms. I have only played the VC version though...

  By woohooboogoo | Review Date: Jun 04, 2010 | SNES

  I always have wondered when playing a game in a very long standing series. What was the series like when it first came out? Well, thanks to all the main game companies, they have renditions of past games for their platfo... Read Full Review

  Who would have ever thought farming boring crops all day could be highly addictive? Totally worth the $8.

  By Bomberman10 | Review Date: Nov 26, 2008 | SNES

  There you are, only with a run-down farm, your parents leave you for 2 years, and you have absolutely no animals or crops. sounds like crap, right? If u said right You ARE SO WRONG :D . You start out with a rundown farm ... Read Full Review

  A great flash-back into what would become a great franchise!

  By danflyhight | Review Date: Aug 08, 2008 | SNES

  What could be more simple than starting the day with a puppy and a good meal and then heading out onto a farm to make a good day's wage? Harvest Moon is a game that introduces a simple farm life to people in the city/sub... Read Full Review

  I never thought I'd say a game based on farming is fun, but this one sure is!

  By WiseWarrior101 | Review Date: Aug 05, 2008 | SNES

  This game is about farming. After reading the first sentence you're probably thinking that the game will be boring, stupid, and downright terrible. However, as soon as you actually start playing it you'll start to think ... Read Full Review

  A classic game that is well worth the download for long-time fans and newcomers.

  By gamefan06 | Review Date: Jul 31, 2008 | SNES

  It's easy to get sucked into simulation games. I can't even begin to count how many hours of sleep I've lost due to games like Zoo Tycoon and Jurassic Park Operation Genesis. So what happens when you combine the strategi... Read Full Review

  Harvest Moon SNES was a good idea, but it would have been nice if it didn't end so fast, and with such a critique.

  By nulvix | Review Date: Jul 09, 2008 | SNES

  In Harvest Moon SNES you take on the role of a farmer who has just started out and has no experience with the subject whatsoever. You begin by introducing yourself to all the townsfolk and familiarizing yourself with the... Read Full Review

  Fun and addicting

  By bigd575 | Review Date: Jun 20, 2008 | SNES

  I was little when I first got my hands on this game. But I do remember that I couldn't quiet playing it. Man o man it was great. It's been awhile since I've played it though. But before the Sims this was my game that was... Read Full Review

  A relaxing game where you have to hurry.

  By Jaxxo | Review Date: Feb 24, 2008 | SNES

  Harvest Moon, so calm and relaxing. Nothing really happens here, sure there are some festivals, sometimes maybe one of your cows gives birth, but it's nothing special. This game is a pure relaxing game. --STORY-- ... Read Full Review

  Harvest Moon proves that tending a farm can become a very satisfying game premise.

  By edubuccaneer | Review Date: Feb 22, 2008 | SNES

  It's 4 A.M, your alarm clock rings. You get up, get yourself dressed and go feed the cows, chickens and water the crops. Not the typical routine for most video game players. Far from being your ordinary Super Nintendo... Read Full Review

  This game is almost unsettlingly addicting.

  By mariofan22 | Review Date: Feb 17, 2008 | SNES

  It takes some guts to buy "Harvest Moon", if you buy your purchases just based on what the game is about. You play as a farmer, whose parents leave for two and a half years (it's never explained), and they give you a ran... Read Full Review
