Do you use the latest chemical fertilizers and pesticides or run an organic farm? It's up to you. Plow your fields, sow your seeds, harvest your crops, and sell them at market. Easy? Sure, except for soil depletion, crop rotation, changing markets, and diminishing farmland--not to mention pests, droughts, dust storms, and other hazards.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lots of fun but a bit boring at times., August 15, 2002

When you are harvesting, fighting insects or disease, or going to the fair, this game is fun. The graphics are good and I'm glad its all in aeral view. You aren't trapped on the farm either, you can vote in the nearby city, attend the fair and earn or lose prizes, and buy more land. The only real complaint is that the animals can be amazingly stupid -- refusing to eat when the food is right in front of them for example (growing up a block from a farm I know that animals are not this foolish).

3.0 out of 5 stars Ehhh...Okay, August 14, 2000

Right after SimFarm came out, my brother and I loved it. It's probably better for younger kids. It takes a few days to figure out, but then it's okay, except for the crop duster. Don't get one of those. Sure it can be exciting at times, (i.e. when your sheep all break out of the pen and are sitting in the middle of whatever they can find, or when all your crops go bad at once) but I would recommend starting a new farm whenever it gets boring, or putting in new plants, speeding it up a little, or using a disaster scenario.

I just bought the game 2 days ago and I can't stop playing it! I admit, the graphics are a little bad but that is probably because it was MADE IN 1993 and that was what was considered good back then. You can grow a variety of crops and then kill off stuff for them. I was playing it with my dad and he took it way too seriously. It is a good game for the couch poatato farmer. PS-It doesn't come with instructions, but you can figure the controls out easily.
