It was released in 1993 for PC Dos, and was released a year later for Macintosh.

The fact EA refuses to do anything with these games or the franchise never fails to upset me. Another childhood classic my sister and i played all the time. It sat along all the other sim games we had in their pristine big boxes. Above that crt monitor attatched to a dell dimension tower. So many wonderful hours spent in this game.
This was such a wonderful Sim game that my siblings and I loved playing constantly. I still have the disc but am unable to play it still and would love to revisit it.

Still the best farm simulator ever. EA dropped the ball hard by not making a sequel, because no current farm games is as charming, detailed and simple at the same time. Crops have growth stats that must be taken into account of the climate and soil of your farm, animals could break fences so you had to make them double, balancing fertilizer and pesticide/herbicide to get the best crops... Amazing.
Probably the hardest Sim game I ever played...which probably meant it was true to life. Never could make a farm that didn't fail. And yet, I love it, because of the challenge!
SimFarm was a surprisingly deep farm simulator that focused on the actual farming element, something a lot of farming games these days don't do. And it came with this massive instruction booklet that talked about all the crops you could plant, how you could manage your farm, what each of the machines did and how to make sure they were running their best. It was a classic, targeted Maxis game and people obviously love farm sims: Stardew Valley is a best seller for a reason. SimFarm deserves its chance to shine.
That's one of the very few games my wife played, along with the first The Sims from EA. I would love to share this with her again. I hope this gets tackled some day by GoG

Harvest Moon: Back to Nature
Harvest Moon: Back to NatureNatsume's farm simulation series makes its debut on the PlayStation with Harvest Moon: Back to Nature. Starting out with a few rudimentary implements and very little money, you begin the arduous task of reviving your grandfather's farm and thereby claiming your place as its rightful heir. Players are given three years to achieve this goal. A year consists of four seasons, each of which lasts 30 days. Different crops can be planted each season, but before the seeds can be planted, the land must be cleared and then the soil tilled. Seeds must also be watered until the fruit or vegetable matures. Once the crops are ready for harvest, they can be placed in a shipping bin where they'll be collected and paid for. In addition to farming, players will interact with local villagers and partake in seasonal events such as the Tomato Festival and Fireworks Display. As more money is earned, players can expand their farm and begin to raise livestock such as chickens and cows.

Freelancer
FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.
