5.0 out of 5 stars Sim Farm- classic or ...?
Sim farm...
this primitive sim game started the whole sim-craze that eventually left us with the amazingly made sims and other new games....
Please keep in mind, you cannot compare the sims with sim farm... I will tell you right now, there is no comparision.
Of course every aspect of the sims is made perfectly, perfect graphics, perfect sound, every bug...

1.0 out of 5 stars sim is slim

Sim farm...
this primitive sim game started the whole sim-craze that eventually left us with the amazingly made sims and other new games....
Please keep in mind, you cannot compare the sims with sim farm... I will tell you right now, there is no comparision.
Of course every aspect of the sims is made perfectly, perfect graphics, perfect sound, every bug worked out, to provide the user with a smooth and fun experience.... but sim farm is much different. This game was made about thirteen years earlier. It's easy to learn, very simple, and limited. The graphics [are bad], the music's awful... but it's great fun.
If you have played this game before, earlier in your life, and you would like to play sim farm for sake of old memories or to add onto your sims collection... i strongly reccomend it.
But if you are an average gamer and the most important feature of the games you play are amazing graphics, difficult controls, and tough competition... I would reccomend leaving this game behind and going for something along the lines of The Sims, Railroad Tycoon, Zoo Tycoon, Age of Empires, or Medal of Honor, my personal favorite.

4.0 out of 5 stars A resonably good game., July 9, 2001
By 
An gamer (Downers Grove, IL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sim Farm (Jewel Case) (CD-ROM)
I found this game a good amount of fun, despite the fact that thare are no directions. You can do everything from planting crops to over running the city with animals. This game is played as you would Sim City. If you have already read the other reveiws, and heard that thare are no codes or cheats for this game, that is a lie. Try codes.ign.com. No www. They have codes for hundreds of games. I bought this game to be given the challenge of figuring out how to play this game. It was very easy.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Good Simfarm report, May 7, 2001
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Sim Farm (Jewel Case) (CD-ROM)
Simfarm is a game where you're challenged to farm. At first you don't get it but then when you figure it out it's realy good. I wouldn't suggest this to action-loving kids.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun Game, In school?, April 11, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Sim Farm (Jewel Case) (CD-ROM)
I first played Sim farm in my school tech lab class. Me and the person I played with loved it. At first we thought it was only an O.K. game, but then we found ways to make it fun and easier. For instance the cheat code "corn" gives you ten thousand dollars on the spot. Then we were able to really expand our operations. We bought out the entire map by simply clicking on the picture of the earth on the toolbar and the the land button. We planted everything from tabacco to orchards of fruit. After a while I just had to buy it. I love this game.

4.0 out of 5 stars I've seen better, but I looked hard, July 11, 2001
By 
"imweirdx100" (Lakewood, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sim Farm (Jewel Case) (CD-ROM)
This game is great, but it is not a action game. This game can be fun, educational, and entertianing, but only if you like games like Sim City. The graphics are the only thing that made me reduce the rating. The graphics could have been a lot better. The gameplay is good, and the controls are easy to learn if you can figure out that clicking something can make stuff happen. The sound isn't that good, but noise isn't needed to enhance gameplay. In total, this game is good, fun, and a great bargian.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Ole Oldies, July 12, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Sim Farm (Jewel Case) (CD-ROM)
I wish it would tell more about working on Windows 7 or Windows Ultamate, wheather the CD comes with the manual. I only seen one. There is a manual on CD but if your an old timer that can't remember. The manual makes it easier to refer to on problems or hopefully how to do something.
My son (29)is having fun, I bought him one for his birthday and thought we could share it. He played it when he was a kid and loved it for a boy. It helped him on the computor, do some reading and thinking about time on crops, when to sell, buy, and plant. He got Mom into it to. This new FarmVille is nothing like it in my opinion.Sim Farm (Jewel Case)

By A Customer
This review is from: Sim Farm (Jewel Case) (CD-ROM)
I would recomend Sim City 3000 Unlimited but if you are on a low buget, a classic gamer, or a PC with bad hardware this is the game for you!

1.0 out of 5 stars Very boring and bad graphics, October 18, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Sim Farm (Jewel Case) (CD-ROM)
I was really looking forward to this game but when I started playing it I thought the graphics were terrible. I could have lived with that if the game had been a little more interesting but you can only plant crops and feed your livestock for so long before it becomes really boring. I thought there would be a little more to it.
