SimFarm was billed as “SimCity’s Country Cousin”, yet that fails to set expectations. SimFarm simulates running a small farm (which may grow into a big farm) and plays very differently from its SimCity “cousin”. Where SimCity favored active (but simple) play, zoning and building roads until you ran out of money, SimFarm requires a patient approach. SimFarm has plenty of buttons and levels and a high degree of nuance, but rather than actively building your farmstead, you’ll be spending much of your time planning the planting schedules for fields, choosing which crops to grow, and when to sell harvested crops.

Published in 1993 by Maxis Software Inc., Sim Farm is still a popular managerial title amongst retrogamers, with a whopping 4.2/5 rating. In many ways, SimFarm presages the idle games of today. Much of the game will be spent waiting for crops to mature and be harvested; once harvested, you either sell the harvested crops right away or wait for market prices to improve (while risking further downturns and inevitable deterioration of the harvest). You are able to toggle the game speed to make things go faster, but this is a game which you play in turns both passively and actively. Patience is the key to doing well on your farm.
