-	=Introduction=	+
-	===Introduction===	+
-		+
-	Harvest Moon for the Super Nintendo was the very first Harvest Moon ever created. For its time, the graphics, music, and the whole works were rather exceptional. Any Harvest Moon fan should try out this game, as it's always good to learn how the series started.	+
-		+
-	===Story===	+
-		+
-	The game starts when the main character moves to an old, run down farm to help rebuild and re-establish it. Your parents are sad to let you go, but you choose to move to the country and try your best at being a farmer. As soon as the introduction is over, you are free to do whatever you want. You can grow crops, get animals, woo the ladies, explore the map, and do whatever else you want to do. But, you dont have much time, you only get two and a half years to finish your farm and marry one of the 5 eligible girls! And also, the days are short. But time stops once it reaches a certain point. So figure out what you want to do and work off a schedule.	+
-	=Features=	+
-	===Animals===	+
-	'''Dog''' - The dog is free and you don’t need to feed it or brush it. His default name is Koro but you can call him whatever you want. He helps out by scaring moles away and also if you leave him outside during the night he will scare wild dogs away and prevent them from breaking your fences (you can hear him bark at night while you sleep if any wild dogs have come). I’ve heard that if you hug your dog (picking it up and putting it down) 100 times will add to your score at the end. You must bring in the dog when its raining or snowing so be sure to always check the weather forecast!	+
-		+
-	'''Horse''' - Foal length: 21 days 'til adult.	+
-	On the first day of winter you will find a little lost foal at the crossroads for free, you will get to name the little foal and it will roam around your farm from then on. You don’t need to feed it or brush it, and when he grows up you can buy a saddle from the tool shop which lets you ride him around your farm and also you can harvest the crops into his saddle bag!	+
-		+
-	'''Chickens''' - When you first start the game, I would recommend buying a chicken because they are not too expensive and they don’t need that much care and you can get lots of chickens easily by incubating the eggs the chickens lay. You can keep up to a total of 12 chickens.	+
-		+
-	Buy Price: 1,500g	+
-		+
-	Sell Price: 500g	+
-		+
-	Sell Egg Price: 50g	+
-		+
-	Egg Length: 3 days 'til it hatches	+
-		+
-	Chick Length: 7 days 'til it grows up	+
-		+
-	Grass Amount needed for each chicken: 2 full grown grass fields	+
-		+
-	Care - When you buy a chicken, it will be outside the livestock shop in the little paddock and you have to pick it up and take it home. You can’t give chickens names. You don’t need to buy any more because you can just incubate the eggs the chicken lays. You must feed the chicken everyday, and if you forget to feed the chicken it will stop laying eggs for three days. You don’t need to brush the chickens or anything else to make them happy, just feed them and after a few weeks you can have 12 chickens and get 600 Gold a day! Chicks don’t need any chicken feed. If you run out of chicken feed you can buy a chicken feed packet* at the livestock dealer’s.	+
-		+
-	You can take the chickens outside when its sunny, (never leave them overnight because they will get killed by wild dogs) When you do leave them outside, make sure the fences are all secure, otherwise wild dogs could attack your chickens (I wouldn’t take the chickens outside at all since it’s pointless).	+
-		+
-	'''Cows''' - Cows are overall the best animals to have, they might take long and lots of work and love, but with lots of cows that really like you, you can become rich in no time! Amount: You can have up to 12 cows in your barn though it might get very laggy when you try walking around.	+
-		+
-	Buy Price: 5,000g	+
-		+
-	Sell Adult (S. Milk) Price: 5,000g	+
-		+
-	Sell Adult (M. Milk) Price: 8,000g	+
-		+
-	Sell Adult (L. Milk) Price: 10,000g	+
-		+
-	Sell Small milk price: 150g	+
-		+
-	Sell Medium milk price: 250g	+
-		+
-	Sell large milk price: 350g	+
-		+
-	Time for pregnant cow to have a baby: 21 days	+
-		+
-	Time for calf to grow into adult: 21 days	+
-		+
-	Grass Amount needed for each calf: 2 full grown grass fields	+
-		+
-	Care - Cows are very hard to take care of, but it really is worth it. When you first buy a cow from the livestock dealer go home and he will be standing there with a brand new cow and he will ask you to name it and give you a free bell. The bell will call the cows towards you and can help if you are trying to take the cows inside the barn (though its still very hard to try and get the cows back in) If you have just bought a cow, it will only be a calf that doesn’t yet give milk, be sure to feed it fodder everyday, talk to it and use the brush (from the tool shop) to brush her. If you manage to do this everyday for as long as the cow lives, you will get a cow that gives large milk in no time! If you run out of fodder you can buy a cow feed packet* from the livestock shop. When your cow grows up you can use the milker (from the tool shop) to milk the cow. Cows like it if you let them outside in a closed fenced area with grass where the grass is full grown (at the stage where you cut it) so they can eat it, though you could waste all day trying to get the cows back in the barn! You should never let the cow outside when it’s raining or snowing, and if you do, your cow could get sick and die, but before she dies you have a chance to buy cow medicine to heal her. If you want to get a cow pregnant, be sure to buy the miracle potion from the livestock dealer and use it on your cow. When your cow is pregnant you will have to feed it at the lower stall in the barn. You cannot sell calves, or young cows.	+
-		+
-	Don’t forget that cows have affection scores too. When you brush a cow it adds 3 points (but you can only get those points once a day) and talking to her adds 1 point (you can only get this point once a day too). If you hit a cow it might or might not be lowered but if you keep hitting her with a tool it will go down eventually. If you miss a feeding it lowers 8 points too.	+
-		+
-	*Note: when you buy the chicken feed or cow it appears in the bottom of the coop/barn	+
-		+
-	===Crops===	+
-	Being the first Harvest Moon ever, there is not much of a choice of which crops to grow since there are only 4, but some people like this more than lots of crops since its simple yet easy!	+
-		+
-	'''Crop Help:'''	+
-	If you want to get rich quick I would consider buying turnips for spring and corn for summer since overall they sell the most. Remember to plant your crops in the right season and also that you cant grow crops at all in fall or winter. You have to be prepared to water all your crops everyday otherwise they will be late in growing! (Also be careful with hurricanes since they can blow away most of your crops).	+
-		+
-	Seeds are planted in 9 squares, so remember to always stand in the middle one when planting seeds. Many people think the best way to plant crops is like below so that you leave a gap where you can reach for the crops to water them...	+
-		+
-	<center>http://www.ranchstory.co.uk/games/SNES/crop_patterns.gif</center>	+
-		+
-	But I always just plant them 3x3 because at the end of the season when you picked all the crops you can pick the middle one! (And when you get the sprinkler you can water the one in the middle).	+
-		+
-	'''Turnips:'''	+
-	Turnips will probably be the first crop you grow since it’s the cheapest and takes the least to grow, but the down side is that it only sells for the least. If you do it all properly you could harvest the crop 7 times per spring, which would give you 3,360g per season since 8 turnips cost 480g.	+
-		+
-	Season: Spring	+
-		+
-	Buy Price: 200g	+
-		+
-	Sell Price: 60g	+
-		+
-	Growth span: takes 4 days to grow	+
-		+
-	Renewable: no	+
-		+
-	'''Potatoes:'''	+
-	Potatoes are better than turnips since they sell for 20g more, but they also take 2 more days to grow, so you could harvest the crop 5 times a season and get 3,200g a season since 8 potatoes are 640g. So overall I would think turnips are better to grow in spring rather than the potatoes.	+
-		+
-	Season: Spring	+
-		+
-	Buy Price: 200g	+
-		+
-	Sell Price: 80g	+
-		+
-	Growth span: takes 6 days to grow	+
-		+
-	Renewable: no	+
-		+
-	'''Tomatoes:'''	+
-	Tomato would probably be the first crop you buy that is renewable (renewable meaning you can harvest it many times without having to buy more seeds and grow more tomatoes). You could harvest it 7 times a season, giving you a total of 5,600g for the season since 8 tomatoes cost 800g.	+
-		+
-	Season: Summer	+
-		+
-	Buy Price: 300g	+
-		+
-	Sell Price: 100g	+
-		+
-	Growth span: takes 10 days to grow	+
-		+
-	Renewable: yes	+
-		+
-	'''Corn:'''	+
-	Corn is the most expensive and longest crop to grow, though it sells for the most and it’s good since it’s renewable! You could harvest it 6 times a season and yet get 5,460g for that season! Since 8 corn cobs cost 9,60g which is a lot of money! So for summer, I would defiantly plant corn instead of tomatoes!	+
-		+
-	Season: Summer	+
-		+
-	Buy Price: 300g	+
-		+
-	Sell Price: 120g	+
-		+
-	Growth span: takes 13 days to grow	+
-		+
-	Renewable: yes	+
-		+
-	'''Grass:'''	+
-	You need lots of grass if you want to have lots of cows and chickens, it may cost a lot and it’s well worth it when your animals start giving lots of produce!	+
-		+
-	Season: Spring, summer and fall, dormant in winter but re-grows back in spring	+
-		+
-	Buy Price: 500g	+
-		+
-	Sell Price: Can’t sell fodder, use it to feed animals	+
-		+
-	Growth span: takes 10 days to grow and 7 to be re-grown	+
-		+
-	Renewable: yes	+
-		+
-	===Extensions===	+
-	Since this is the first harvest moon, there are not many extensions, only two in fact, but they are still very cool. At the start of the game you start with a small log house and you can upgrade it twice!	+
-		+
-	<center>http://www.ranchstory.co.uk/games/SNES/house1.jpg http://www.ranchstory.co.uk/games/SNES/house_remodeling.jpg http://www.ranchstory.co.uk/games/SNES/hmshot2.jpg	+
-	</center>	+
-		+
-	'''Super log house:'''	+
-		+
-	Gold: 5,000g	+
-		+
-	Lumber: 250	+
-		+
-	The super log house is the first extension and it only makes your house a big bigger and adds a carpet here and there. If you complete it before fall the carpenters will give you a watch for free. You need this extension to get married.	+
-		+
-	'''Super deluxe log house:'''	+
-		+
-	Gold: 10,000g	+
-		+
-	Lumber: 500	+
-		+
-	The super deluxe log house is the second extension and it will add one more room to your house and cradle (as well as a cool looking porch).You need this extension to have children. You can also paint it white.	+
-		+
-	===Festivals===	+
-	Since this is a harvest moon, festivals are a must have, if you want to know when the festivals are in-game, be sure to check a booklet in the church!	+
-		+
-	'''Flower Festival:'''	+
-		+
-	When: Spring 23	+
-		+
-	Perfume: 1,000g	+
-		+
-	The flower festival is a happy time when everyone gets together in a flower-filled town square to look at the flowers. Dance with the girl you like and be sure to buy some perfume and give it to the girl you like (go to the girl section to see which one they like).	+
-		+
-	'''Harvest Festival:'''	+
-		+
-	When: Fall 12	+
-		+
-	Visit the town square to find a big pot boiling in the middle, be sure to bring something to add to the pot and chuck it inside. Then you will get to taste what everyone has mixed together in the pot!	+
-		+
-	'''Egg Hunt:'''	+
-		+
-	When: Fall 20th	+
-		+
-	This is the best festival and my favourite. Your job is to find the coloured eggs the mayor sticks up, they are hidden in the treasure boxes around the town, be sure to find them quick and bring them back to the mayor because the time might run out. Try to find as many as you can and you might win a power berry!	+
-		+
-	'''Thanksgiving:'''	+
-		+
-	When: Winter 10th	+
-		+
-	If a girl likes you they will bake a cake and give it to you	+
-		+
-	'''Starry Night Festival:'''	+
-		+
-	When: Winter 24	+
-		+
-	On this day the girls will be at their special place, talk to them the day before to see where they are going to be (or check the girls section) and make sure to be there and on time!	+
-		+
-	'''New Year Festival'''	+
-		+
-	When: Spring 1	+
-		+
-	Go to the summit and watch the sun rise and a new year begin, make sure to talk to all the villagers and even get your fortune told!	+
