Back to Nature no contest. No other HM game even comes close to it, although I never played HM64.

My second favourite is probably Mfomt, then Tree of Tranquility. Magical Melody was great but once you've played it through the first time and done everything, it's a bit annoying to play through again. And the AWL series kinda bored me lol.

I'm the kind of person who beats most games the day I get them, but you can play months of Magical Melody with minimum monotony (besides winter).

Well i personally love all the Harvest Moon games...
So first i will tell you my Harvest Moon story.
I was at my neighbors and i played with her Friends Of Mineral Town, and then i rented Back To Nature.
I was SOOO hooked on that game!
So when my neighbor bought me Save The Homeland, i was THRILLED!
but it did not work on my game console so i went back and got a Save The Homeland that did.
I was obsessed with that game and finished almost all the endings.
Then i got A Wonderful Life and married Nami, and loved it.
Then i got Another Wonderful Life and got married to Marlin and was OBSESSED with it.
Then i got Magical Melody and LOVED it and got married to Blue.
I got more games here and there but my next fav was Tree Of Tranquility where i married Luke.
But now i am on Animal Parade and i am trying for Wizard.
I love them all but my favourites will always be, Back To Nature, A Wonderful Life, Another Wonderful Life and possibly Save the Homeland.

I'd have to say either "Innocent Life Special Edition: A Futuristic Harvest Moon" or "Harvest Moon: A wonderful life special edition"

Both of those games are PS2 but the non-special edition versions are pretty good as well.

If you don't have a PS2, I'd have to say "Friends of Mineral Town"

My fourfth might be "Harvest Moon DS"

Then, in a close fifth, HM 64

Dude, nothing beats Harvest Moon 64.... they're cranking out new games left and right now; I wish they would slow down and invest a lot of time into one game.

A Wonderful Life. It was the first game I played in the series and the one I love the most due to the mini games, variety of characters with different personalities, and the realism with aging.

Woot first reply of 2012!

I am suprised to see nobody said save the homeland on here. I mean yeah Back to nature and Friends in Mineral Town were great but there was something I loved so much about save the homeland. And since Hero Of Leaf valley was an updated version of that one with better graphics and that you could actually marry a girl in that one, I'd have to say Hero of leaf valley for the PSP is my favorite.

Friends of Mineral Town is my favorite. I didn't like HM64, I thought it was boring, simple, an eyesore, and you had no cooking system. Back to Nature was a massive improvement, and Friends of Mineral Town was a massive improvement over Back to Nature.

My mother loves A Wonderful Life but (spoiler alert) you only get ten years in the game. Save the Homeland was too focused on story, but Hero of Leaf Valley improves on Save the Homeland greatly, even letting you free-play like a normal Harvest Moon.

Never played the SNES one but I'm going to assume it's much simpler than the later games and it'll probably feel watered-down to me compared to later releases.

A Tale of Two Towns is also very good, it's for either the DS or 3DS and it does a lot of things right, it feels like we finally got an improvement over FoMT, it doesn't have the game-breaking BS that other recent games like Sunshine Isles had, and it takes some cues from the recent DS games and makes them work in a proper Harvest Moon. I highly recommend it, it's my second-favorite in the series.

The Rune Factory games for the DS are good, they add RPG elements and an interesting Monster Rancher feel, but the Wii game had one thing about it that ruined the entire game - those freaking spirits. You had to maintain them every week, it was a major pain and it distracted from other parts of the game too much.

My favorite Harvest Moon game would have to be Harvest Moon: A Tale of Two Towns. You may ask why is that your favorite game?, well the thing is I love the request board and I love having two towns to pick from. I believe the characters should have been more in depth, buts still a great game to play. Oh and I also love the cooking.

What? No love for the Harvest Moon GBC's? Sure GBC was just a downgraded portable version of Harvest Moon for SNES, but it was the first Harvest Moon I ever played and it rox just because of nostalgia! I should never have sold it! GBC 2 was even better and GBC 3 is still one of my favorite games. In fact, I must play it. Now where'd I put that Gameboy Color?

The GBC versions are one of my favorites, too. The GBC was my first console and is still my most favorite [face_love]

Harvest Moon SNES !!!!!

Yes, I know the graphics are old school... big whoop! Most you kids playing Harvest Moon now don't even know what started it all an definitely missing a big piece of the Harvest Moon history. I grew up playing the game when it first came out. The intro song still brings back memories. Everyone here should try out it out if you haven't already just for the sake of saying you've played an enjoyed the true original.

Harvest Moon 64 was definitely awesome btw just saying. Just not a fan of the controls or the isometric few. That part of it sucked. Everything else it had to offer was on spot and the Harvest Moon's after that kinda just turned into whatever they could think up an it lost my interest other than Friends of Mineral Town an Back to Nature. Those were also pretty nice.

The graphics on the SNES one are beautiful, in my opinion. Watching the sunrise on New Years in the mountains? Awesome. I just wish that game gave you the option to keep playing after the main "story" part is over.

I'd have to say my favorite is either HM64 or FoMT. Hard to decide. I need to get HM64 to play it again.

I've played HM64, FoMT, MM, ToT, and ToTT.

Currently waiting for my copy of ANB, it should be here Friday!! So excited.

Ive played all of em that have been released stateside and surprisingly after having spent quite a bit of time with it over the past couple weeks since it's release, I'm really leaning towards "A New Beginning" as my fav and the best game in the series. Although I have to admit, I'm still a little partial towards "Back to Nature" on the ps1.

Either Friends of Mineral Town or HM DS. In my opinion it's the most fun out of all of the games and I'm pretty sure it always will be (mind you I never got a chance to play HM64...). There's actual character development, and I find them all loveable in their own way. The characters in all of the most recent games are pretty shallow. I mean, there's nothing interesting about them. Karen and Ann in FoMT were so fricking cool, I don't think we'll ever get to see characters like that again in the HM franchise. Aside from characters though, the HM games have become way too easy. Eh, I guess that's just most games nowadays.

My favorite would have to be AWL, it's what introduced me to the series and I fell in love with it. I also liked back to nature, did not care for the ones on the wii to much and I never got a chance to try the earlier portables like FoMT.

Back To Nature is the best in my opinion. It was the first HM game I ever actually owned, and although I've never been able to complete a full 3 years, I've always gone back and started a new game over and over. It's based on HM64 (which was the first HM game I ever played, my cousin owned it) but it had so many improvements. I still have my copy of it and the Prima strategy guide.

For my money I'd have to say Back To Nature was the best combo of being engaging and visually appealing. And I don't like games that baby you along. God forbid you have to figure something out! BTN gave you a clear objective with a variety of ways to accomplish it, and just let you do what you want to do. I like that freedom.
