I first played HM Friends of Mineral Town. It was introduced to me in middle school by a girl in my class. I had just been forced to move to a new state in the middle of the school year and she tried to bond with me by showing me a fun game. I ended up loving it and have been buying them ever since.
I got Magical Melody first (my sister did) I despised Harvest Moon for some odd reason (she would always be on the gamecube, so I couldnt play Pokemon XD!!!) but then I tried it and got up to Year 17! (Havent really played it in a while) then she got DS and I got all the ones after that!
DS. I bought it in third grade, and, young and impatient as I was, quickly lost interest. I played it on and off for the next couple years until I finally fell in love.
My first Harvest Moon game was AWL for the gamecube since 2004. Loaned it from one of my brother's friends, I gotten my own for Christmas of the same year with Double Dash.
My first game was AWL. c: I played it at one of my friends houses on his game cube and fell in love with it, but I didn't have a game cube... So I bought the playstation special version and have been playing that since i was like 7 or 8... :3 (I'm now 16) and then I discovered there were tooooons of other HM games, my second was AP which definitely got me into the rest of the whole harvest moon world way of life and then bought up several other games. = 3= AP is probably my favorite but AWL will always have that weird, first-game-i-played-in-the-series-special-place-in-my-heart.
The first HM game I ever played was Save the Homeland. I got it in 2005 (I was 6..?). I played only that, Sims 2 Pets, and Crash Bandicoot games until Grand Bazaar came out, and i found it by chance at GameStop. So even though my first Harvest moon was STH, GB got me into the series. Now i have 8 of the games.
The first one I can remember playing was MFOMT.. but I may have played an earlier game before that I just can't remember them all :p I do know that MFOMT def hooked me into the series, and I was playing AnWL in 6th grade (6 years ago omg) but I think I had MFOMT before that one idk
The first HM game I played was HM64, though it belonged to my cousin. BTN was the first game in the series that I owned, I thought it was an HM64 port when I saw it in the store...
Let's see... My first Harvest Moon game was the original SNES version. I think I was around the ages of 5-7 when I played it. Ten years later, Harvest Moon still ranks as one of my all time favorite video game series. :3
HM64, at age 12. Got super addicted to it - played through the entire game and married Elli, did really well, and then restarted and proceeded to play the game through to marry each bachelorette
My first was Harvest Moon GB. My Uncle had gave it to me as a birthday present and then my first game that I bought was HM 64. I have been a fan ever since. However, I do not own ALL of the HM games just the handheld editions. ♥
