Harvest Moon GB was the first Harvest Moon game to be released on Gameboy.
Plot
When the game starts, the main character's grandfather's spirit appears to you, asking you to renovate his farm. You have a year (4 seasonsto bring the farm back to fruition. After the year has passed, you will be evaluated to see how well you did your job.
Gameplay
Renovating the farm means you must remove all the weeds from the farmland, crush the rocks littering the ground, and use an axe to chop up the tree stumps. You must also till the land and plant crops for profit, and keep animals to sell their produce.
Another feature of this game are the Harvest Sprites. Once you have made friends with them, they will help you out on your farm.
The Farm
The House
The house starts off as very small, but can be expanded by the Carpenter. The house has a TV that predicts the next day's weather, and a small telephone used to trade between Gameboys.

Harvest Sprite Cave
Behind the Tool Shed is a cave where the HS live. To the north of the cave is the Harvest Goddess lake where you can fish. To the east is the hot spring, where the player can rejuvanate him or herself.
