Disasters such as Locusts, Fire, Wind, floods may occur throughout the game. Along the game if you raise crops there will be disasters that may have an effect on your crops and money made. You also have to buy your machinery for you crops (such as plow, tractor, harvester, truck, trailer, etc.) You also have to fertilize, spray herbicide, pesticide and fungicide on your crops. If you raise crops you depend on the weather for the quality of the crop and you will get more money if it is a good harvest or less if it is a poor one. You can either raise crops or raise livestock. you want your farm and it will tell you the amount of rain they get on average and then temperature and the wind or you can create your own region for your farm. The point of the game is have a farm and try to build up from the start and try to game money. I like it because it is fun and challenging. It is an older game that came out in the 1990s. :) If you like the Sim genre, and you have played similar games before, you will definitely love this one! Also, you probably won't find any more than 256 colors. Graphics are fun and functional, and as for the music and sound effects - they are moderate. You should also pay attention to the climate and grow the appropriate crops. Each one has its advantages and disadvantages so you should be careful to create a good balance. But that's not everything! You can also breed all kinds of livestock ranging from pigs, horses, cows, sheep. They include planting fields, buying machinery and crops, harvesting, selling, buying more estate and expanding. And trust me, building a successfull farm is not easy :) There are many aspects that you will have to take care of. Although it might seem boring at first sight, the gamplay is far more engaging than you could imagine. It features almost the same interface as the one seen in Simcity but with some original ideas and additions. This one is a valuable member of the still thriving "Sim" family, and it is fairly obvious at first sight. There is a changing weather system and realistic seasons important to the running of your farm. Take control and manage a virtual farm, buying and selling lifestock and planting and maintaning crops. Replay Value: Every game is different and there are some scenarios that can be played out. Mostly charts and graphs though.Įnjoyment: Includes many aspects of actual farming.

Fortunately, the 140-page manual is not as overwhelming as it looks. Going through the tutorial is a big help as you can learn all about the game. A lot of the game must be spent viewing charts, graphs, and simply sitting back and watching things develop. SimFarm will put you as close to running a farm without actually being a farmer. The animals will break through the fences and there is no easy way of trying to control them. Forgetting to feed the livestock can turn your farm upside down as well. Livestock is more fun to raise but in the beginning of the game you will not be able to make much of a profit. Rotating crops is also important in order to keep the soil in good condition. Floods, pests, and a lack of nutrients in the soil are major problems. Different times of the year affect what should be grown. There are also a lot of variables to take into account when planting crops. Purchasing everything in the beginning of the game is important because if you don't have the proper machinery the game will automatically lease it from the town which is very expensive.
You will also need to buy a silo to store the crops in, a couple of sheds to keep your machinery in good condition, and place some dirt roads around the field, also to keep the machinery in good condition. You will need a plow, a tractor to pull the plow, a planter to plant the seeds, a harvester, a trailer, a truck, and a sprayer would probably be useful too. Then you need to buy a water pump, place irrigation ditches next to the field, buy seeds, and buy machinery. Crops are very difficult to take care of. There is a lot more to this game than planting crops and watching them grow. SimFarm is a complex simulation and a bit more difficult to learn than SimCity.
