A ‘Grand’ old time

If there’s an abiding mystery in video games, it’s “Harvest Moon.”

Playing “Harvest Moon” consists of tilling squares of soil, planting seeds, watering them, fertilizing them, going to sleep and repeating. This shouldn’t be fun. It’s a chore simulator. But it’s also a timesuck second only to the “Civilization” series. Harvest “Harvest Moon” from the store, and it will harvest your life.
