anyone remember sim farm?

[IneedsBeer]

I grew up in the 80's, and was in middle school--high school in the 1990s..

Anyone remember being able to play sim farm, granted that was a while ago, but seeing this game really made me think of this game, and made me think of that time!!

I am planning on buying this for my wife and myself.. looks fun and bring back some nostalgia in a way!!

Hell ya, I was in middle-high school in the 90s too! I had all the Sim games before Maxis got bought by EA and made them suck. I remember the trick to kick ass in sim farm was to plant oranges. Oranges were worth a lot, and once I figured out how to get an orange grove running, my little farm ended up being a cash cow. Personally, I liked Sim Ant better though, but thats just me.

Yeah -- I loved ALL the sim games. Still remember the oranges trick. I wish this game had a few more of the conveniences -- such as not having to select a vehicle every...single...time you want to do something. I also liked the scheduling aspect of it. Farming world is interesting, but there's a lot of micro-managing to click for every task.

Yeap same here, and like Raixel mentioned. I do remember when games were made for the people and not for just the profit.

Yea was my first thought too than i saw this game "man i could play Sim Farm again" ^^ still got it running sometimes also love Sim Island that was also good with a good difficult.

This games got lots of features, but honestly I think sim farm was more well managed as far as crops go.
More automation, less annoying clicking the same things over and over.
Micromanaging is great and all, but not when it's mindlessly repetitive

I remember being in computer class throughout 8th and 9th grade, and the first thing I would do when I sat in front of a new school computer was look for:

1) simfarm
2) simcity
3) Encyclopedia Britannica, had all sorts of cool pictures and neat videos, and some little game where you were in a alternate universe trying to be king by answering questions..

If none of those existed I would move to a different pc.. was like striking gold when I would see that simfarm!!

My favorite was simfarm though..

wow you were lucky, my schools only had dr quandary on their computers. i don't remember playing sim farm much, i think those were the years i was lost in Ultima online.

Lucky you, up until higschool our classroom comps were 5-1/4" floppy driven, with games that a tamagotchi would put to shame lol
And the computer lab was no better, you always had to know which compy had mathblaster on it =p

I grew up on a farm and I hated Simfarm. Who plants in the middle of winter? Micromanagement hell. The only thing I would plant is strawberries. The only farm simulator I've liked so far was the John Deere American Farmer. Which farming games are good?

[IneedsBeer]

This is the only farming sim I know of other then simfarm chrissszy.. sorry..

[foxpyt]

I loved to play simfarm.

I know this farm simulation games:
- this Farming World
- Farm Giant (good game but mangement too much clicking)
- Simfarm from Maxis
- Farming Simulator (more driving, less economical)

So far most farm simulation games get a micromanagment problem.
It should/must be possible to hire employees and to give them a list of task.
