very, very addictive, kind of reminds me of jezzball and fishy from ebaumsworld. i would say that a twenty dollar game that you can easy spend several hours playing is a good investment.

I reckon this here game's only for hillbillies

phh, what an insult to PC gaming.... the only people who would enjoy something like THIS are hicks out in the sticks of Montana or South Dakota

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE graphics(I know the game was made in the early 90s,, but there were games out then that had better graphics than THIS!), and well, the animals claim that they "cant reach the food" when it's right next to them! and then eventually they break out of their pen and eat your crops, or just wander off till they die...

also, the spray plane is 6 thousand bucks,,, and you can't even land it.... and it keeps saying that your crops need to be sprayed cause of bugs and then when you spray them they get toxicated... yep.... ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ....

like I said, only buy this game if you live in the following states: North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Alabamba, or West Virginia

Quite okay

My friend lent me this game knowing that I have an interest in--but almost no practical knowledge of--farming, and I was totally overjoyed that such a game exists. But I'm the type of person who prefers to sit down and just start playing the game. For some reason, however, I just can't figure it out. Besides that, the game is obviously intended to be "simple fun" kind of entertainment. I'd prefer something more technical where a person can try their luck at really managing a farm. I'm not a big computer game person, so if such a game exists, I really don't know; but my guess is that I'm one of very few people who would like to play such a game, and therefore doesn't.

Bad Game

This game is boring! And your cropduster ALWAYS crashes. No controls. It just flys around 'till it runs out of gas. Don't be fooled, it's not worth the money!

Good for an old game.

This game is good for when it was made, but it lacks the on-going game qualities of other Maxis Sim games. A good buy for a short term amusement.

In the game, you are able to build plot-like fields of farms with varying types of crops, like strawberries or grains. What you want to plant will depend on where you are located in the U.S. (which you choose at the beginning). Little icons appear to show you if you have pests or other problems with your crops. You can apply chemicals by tractor or plane. I never could get the crop duster to work very well, though. Then you harvest and can sell immediately or wait till the price goes up. But the price might go down, or you might wait too long and your crop will spoil.

Personally, I'd probably buy another Sim-type game over this one. It is quite outdated for today's graphics and sounds, and is not very complex. For the time, it wasn't too bad.

Semi-Good Sim Game

At first, I'd reccommend you to try building your own farm from scratch, even if its a failure, just so you get a feel for the game. Then try a scenario. The graphics are pretty bad on this one and its sorta hard to understand at first, but if you are up for the challenge of a farm then try out this game. It gets boring quickly so be sure to purchase this one from the bargain bin. Try new things to keep gameplay interesting, like terrible conditions, having animals or buying more and more.

The best game ever

Good game, nice way to kill an evening. Tip: plant oranges, they only need to be planted once, and after a couple years they don't normaly need sprayed. If you use the cropduster, the end key makes it land.
