Harvest Moon

This has been one of my and my sisters oldest favorites. You play as a farmer in a new town with nothing but a house, a barn, and some land for crops. You have to work hard to produce crops and healthy animal products to sell and support a good farm. As you play, you interact with the other villagers and gain their friendships. you can also find your soul mate within the village and get married. Originally, in the first games you could only play as a male, not long after a female character became available to play. There have been many versions of the game in many different villages with many different people. It is a very addictive game that kept me entertained for a long time.
