What Harvest Moon GBC is

Harvest Moon GBC is a simulator game developed by Tose and released in 1998. It was published by Natsume Inc.. It is available on Nintendo 3DS and Game Boy Color.

The premise, in the publisher's words

Before beginning, the player is able to choose whether to play as a girl or a boy, and name themselves. At the beginning of the game, the player's deceased grandfather visits them as a spirit and asks them to take over his farm. He implores them to succeed him as a Ranch Master, stating he will check on the player at the end of each winter to determine his progress. The player must develop their farm by growing and selling crops, and raising livestock to reach this goal. If the farm meets his criteria for you to be a Ranch Master, the player may receive extra tools; if he thinks the farm does not, a game over is given.
