Harvest Moon - Friends of Mineral Town - for GBA

Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town is a farming life simulation for the Game Boy Advance, developed by Marvelous Interactive and published by Natsume in 2003. A tired farm on the edge of Mineral Town becomes yours, and the rest is up to you: clear the fields, plant what you like, raise animals and get to know the people living nearby. Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town is widely regarded as the point where the series fitted perfectly onto a handheld, because its rhythms work just as well in ten minutes as they do in two hours.

Days pass through four seasons, each with its own crops, festivals and weather, and you decide how to spend them. You can water and harvest, tend cows, sheep and chickens, fish, forage, explore the mine, join the town celebrations or court one of the local young women, marry and start a family. Almost nothing is compulsory, which is the point: the game lets you choose the events, minigames and adventures you care about. Through the Game Boy Advance link cable, Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town connects with Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life to unlock new events and surprises.

Players still love Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town because it is calm without being aimless. There is always a crop to water, a birthday to remember or a season about to turn, and the slow work of turning a neglected farm into a home is as satisfying now as it was in 2003. It is also the version most people reach for first when they talk about the series, which makes Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town a cornerstone of a Game Boy Advance collection and a gentle first farming game for anyone who has never tried one.
