Anyone played this game, well it's awesome, you have your own farm to look after, you can grow crops, grass and buy cows, sheep etc.

You have to maintain your farm, by watering your crops every day until they have fully grown, you can upgrade your farm tools, like a hammer at the start can only break small stones, when its upgraded to level 2 it can break Big Stones with three charge hits.

You also have dates with girls and lets say experience sexual intercourse aswell(unfortunately you dont witness that part) and you get married and so on.

Who would think farming would be so fun? :-D

I'd get it to try and cross-breed the animals.

I've ordered and after looking at a few review shots it looks really like the PSX verion, HM: Back To Nature. However, no review seems to mention it, so hard to know - but the some of the screen shots look like graphically tweaked versions of BTN locations, and descriptions of mining etc sound just like BTN.

So the GBA gets some more slightly revamped games that've already been played to death. There's that patented Ninty originally and cutting edge attitude for you.

(though I know HM isn't a Ninty game, so don't whine)

Arrived this morning - identical to Back To Nature on the PSX, but still has me playing all day.

Such a good game - interesting to see what the GC to GBA connection element will be... though almost inevitably some lame transfer-a-cow type of affair.
