It doesn't take a master of Mad Gab to discern the phonetically equivalent true title Konami was going for with this one, especially after you realize that the setting is a Soviet stronghold and all of the enemies are Communists. Do you need anything else? It's no Blades of Steel (hell EA's NHL09 isn't Blades of Steel), but growing up in Minnesota and playing on a hockey team ensured that this one was in the NES as much as Super Mario 3. I think I've got the same fond memory for this one as everyone else does: skinny dude, medium dude, and fat dude. The only game that ended up rivaling this excellent design was Konami's Blades of Steel, but the two were different enough to own and enjoy both (which is why you'll find Blades on this countdown). Every Ice Hockey player discovered their own perfect combination of men, and then it was on to the ice. You could choose from three different player body types, and outfit your team with any combination of them fast but weak Skinny Guys, brawny but slow Fat Guys, or well-balanced, middle-ground Normal Guys. This game of skating and slap shots was perfectly balanced, simple fun with just the right touch of planning and strategy to keep things interesting match after match. None of those games ended up having the lasting appeal and addictiveness of one of its other contemporaries, though – the first-party Nintendo sports sim known simply as Ice Hockey. Nintendo had a fairly diverse lineup of sports titles introduced for the NES early on in the system's life cycle, including 8-bit interpretations of soccer, tennis, volleyball and even downhill slalom skiing.

But only the SNES version - the other home computer versions are made in a different, less appealing, style.Įdit: forgot about Princess Maker and its sequels and clones. If I had to choose one game before Harvest Moon that feels the most like HM, it would be SimCity. If you liked the original HM and its art style, you will love SimCity on the SNES. Then there's anything by Will Wright and Maxis - Sim, including most notably the first Sim City and the original Sims. This is all in th e80s, and these have a historical value, but really have very little in common with Harvest Moon. I remember liking it a lot back in the day. There was a game by Sierra Online, called Jones in the Fast Lane. Then there was Alter Ego, a text driven game. The very firs was Little Computer People. But in the life-sim category there were a few games. I don't think there was anything like it before. Life-sim or farming-sim? Harvest moon was the genre defining game in the farming sense.
