She actually loved it as much as I did and would often ask me “What did you do on the farm today?” while we ate dinner at the dinner table. I also picked up the girl version for the GameCube– Harvest Moon: Another Wonderful Life–and later when I got the GameBoy Advance SP in 2003, I also begged my grandma to pick up Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town, and so on.

I first heard of the Harvest Moon series from a friend who had a GameCube and she let me borrow her copy of Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life, and after staying up and playing it all night throughout the school week and all throughout the weekend, I immediately knew I had to have it for myself. Way back in grade school, well before having my own source of income, the only way to really try new games was to borrow games from friends. The Harvest Moon video game series used to be one of my all-time favorites, and it was a series I found by accident.
