Harvest Moon is a Fun, Non-violent Game for Kids
Not all strategy games are blood and gore, unsuitable for youngsters. Harvest Moon does require some strategic thinking, but is great for tykes that need something low key and non-violent to play.
The premise is a sad one - you are an orphan boy which must take over your grandfather's farm. You have a pet dog, but that's it - everything else is up to you. Off to work!
You must determine how best to keep your farm running. Should you plant eggplant or potatoes? Spend your time fishing or milking cows? The better you do, the more you earn, and the more seeds you can buy or chickens you can raise.
It's not all work. There are festivals to attend and pretty girls to talk to. You can upgrade your home with a second floor or with a cradle. Choose a girl to marry, and maybe your house will become a happy home with a growing family. Your chickens, cows, and even horse will share in the fun.
Seasons go by, rain comes and goes, your skills improve and you might even win a horserace. Even those too young to grasp the strategy involved will still enjoy watching the plants grow and riding the horse around.
Not exactly a mind boggling challenge, but for the younger set, it's a fun romp!
