Comments:  This is a very unique and innovative game.  Plant... Water... Harvest... Milk... Feed... Shave!  Brush!  Talk!  GIVE!!!  BUY!!!  SELL!!!  RUN!!!  WALK!!!  FISH!!!  CATCH!!!  CELEBRATE!!! DATE!!!  COURT!!!  MARRY!!!  HAVE KIDS!!!  BUY THIS GAME!!!  I LOVE VERBS!!! This is such an awesome game!  Taking care of your cattle, sheep, and chickens, making friends, celebrating festivals, marrying one out of five different bachelorettes, adding onto your house... It's all surprisingly fun.  Who knew working a farm was so much fun?  This is a one of a kind game.  I can't recall any other farming games besides the Harvest Moon series...  The graphics aren't anything special, but I enjoy them reguardless... And I love the music.  Sadly, Harvest Moon 64 recieved only one award at the 1999 Nintendo Power Awards: the Most Underrated Game... And boy is it ever.  The idea of farming for fun apparently didn't seem to get a lot of people excited.  Give it a try.  You might be surprised. : )
