Harvest Moon

I think of all the games I played on the Nintendo 64, Harvest Moon may have been my favorite one. You could plant crops and then sell them, make friends with the townspeople, and lay some action down on the sweet honeys in the town (of which there were only five). And when I think about it, the crop planting and harvesting was totally environment-friendly. You dig a few patches in the soil, plant the seeds, water them for a few days, and then bam! you harvest them. No pesticides, no corporate farming. Those little 18-year-old hipsters would even shed a tear on their books of philosophy.
