========================== 2)Introduction to the Game ========================== ------------------- Developer Info ------------------- Harvest Moon GB is a game for the Nintendo GameBoy system.It is from the makers of the original Harvest Moon game for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES),Natsume. ------------------- Quick Review ------------------- The graphics are the same as any other GameBoy game you have ever played.The music isn't bad,but some of the repeated noises get annoying.The game is fun, but don't play it too much or it will get boring fast.This is probably a good game to buy,but that's just my opinion.Read the full review at gamefaqs.com!! ------------------- General Information ------------------- Harvest Moon GB is around $29.95 in most stores.Don't ask me about the prices in the UK or other countries,because I don't know.It works perfectly fine on the GameBoy Pocket(as do all other GB games).That's about all for this part!!
========================== 3)Gameplay ========================== ------------------- Controls ------------------- D-Pad:Moves your character around,also cycles through the menu options A Button:Controls most of the your character's actions B Button:Makes you run and jump Select:Pause the game Start:Change your characters tools ------------------- Items ------------------- Here I will list all of the items I know of.If one is missing,E-Mail me.

========================== 4)Helpful Hints & Strategy ========================== In this section I will tell you all kinds of ways to become a good farmer!!!! ------------------- Who is better? ------------------- When choosing to be a boy or girl,it doesn't matter which you pick,because they both have exactly the same strengh,and they both work the same amount of time before getting tired. ------------------- At the beginning ------------------- When you first start out you will need to clear the land.Break all the boulders,and chop up all the trees you can.By that time you should be tired. Pulling up weeds and moving small rocks doesn't take any strengh,so pull a bunch of them up.I usually try to be in bed by 8:00 pm.Always be sure to check tommorrows weather on the TV. ------------------- Seed Laying ------------------- One bag of any kind of seeds covers a 3x3 area.The best way that I figured out to lay them is to put seeds on all the squares but one by not watering it.Remember,the watering can covers 1 square of the land.That is how you make the 3x3 area.Seeds will not grow on dry land.Here is a drawing of how I lay my seeds.A square is a square of land.The X in the square stands for a seed. If there is no X in the square,then there is no seed in that square. ____________________ | | | | | X | | X | |______|______|______| | | | | | X | X | X | |______|______|______| | | | | | X | X | X | |______|______|______| What this pattern does is make it where you can water all the plants.If you put seeds on all squares,then you can't water it,and it won't grow,and when you harvest the others,and try to grow more in the same place,that one is still there!!!So the regular way just presents problems. ------------------- Caring for Cows ------------------- Cows bring in BIG money after they've matured.They go through three stages to mature,and it takes a while.They require a lot of attention.You can raise up to four cows at a time.Try to buy cows as soon as you can so they can mature by winter so that you can still make money while you can't grow crops.Make sure to brush and feed your cows everyday.You can also occasionaly talk to them.You can even take them for a walk if you push them out the door!!!! ------------------- Caring for Chickens ------------------- After you've bought chickens and they've laid eggs you can do one of two things with the eggs,one is sell them,two is incubate them and they hatch. You can have up to four chickens at a time.Chicken eggs don't make as much money as dairy products,but they are easier to care for than cows.Make sure to feed them everyday!!! ------------------- Be nice to Gnomes ------------------- The Gnomes live in your toolshed.Ever seen that door at the back of it,when you're inside of the toolshed?Go through it and you can see the gnomes.If you be nice to them,by giving them mushrooms,they might give you tools. ------------------- Various Helpful Hints ------------------- 1)When I plant crops,I plant them under the fence that contains the shipping box,because it is near the shipping box and a pond for refilling you water can. 2)There is no need to water grass,it grows on its own. 3)If you can't buy livestock,then you don't have enough grass in the silo. 4)Make sure to water your vegetables and feed your animals each day. 5)Make sure to take your dog or cat outside each day or they will get mad at you. 6)You don't need to feed chickens until they grow into hens. 7)Don't plant past the 25th day of each season,or the crops won't grow and you will just waste money. 8)Make a list of what you have to do for each day,that way you you will be organized. ------------------- Events Chart ------------------- This is a list of special events and when they happen in the game.
