Author's Note AUN *--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------* Hiya all, and welcome to my HM2GBC LoudGuide. =) This guide will soon to be Jam Packed with inforation on the Master Piece, also known as Harvest Moon 2 GameBoy Color. Luckily, you now have a resource to look in when you're stuck, need help, or other such things. You'll notice I did quite a couple sections in this release. It's only a small release, but I'd like to get as much down before I get down to the REAL dirty work. >=) Anyways, enjoy it and expect more updates real soon. *--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------* 2. The Game TGM *--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------* The game is much different, but very similar to the original. It contains all of the original features of HMGBC, but it has many new tools, more add-ons, and it requires more time. Add that together with an intriguing and actual storyline, which makes sense, and you have a winner. If you found yourself staying up WAY past your bedtime, for hours on end playing the original, you won't find much of a change with this game. Well, Actually, thats not true, you'll be playing much longer. The Graphics haven't changed much, but they still have that nice touch to them, and this game was designed to be a color game, so more lighting affects and such take place. The Graphics get an 8/10 The sound is..well.. sound. I prefer to play this game without the sound on. Don't get me wrong, I love this game, but the sound we could all do without. The Fall and winter music is a bit addicting, but other than that, the simple sound effects don't need to be heard with the other season music on. The sound recieves a 5/10. Control is amazingly easy to learn, with A being your action button, B canceling things, the control pad moving, the select button bringing up the menu, and the start button being a quick rotator through your items. You can also hold four items at once, which is a major plus. The control gets a 10/10. The storyline recieves a 8/10, for it is simple, but what could you possibly expect out of a farming game? The game begins with the Mayor deciding what to do with the old farm. He wants to liven up the city, and he makes the suggestion to convert it into a snazzy theme park. You (Jack) come into the story and tell him you'll keep the farm and take care of it. He tells you he'll give you three years to turn it around, and if you do a good job of it, he'll let you keep the farm. And so you set off to the farm, to begin on a journey, and while it's not a journey with turn-based combat, and large monsters, it's one of the best journies anyone could possibly ask for... *--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------* 3. The Controls TCL *--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------* So you're just starting out, eh? Want to know the controls? Ok, since you chose not to read the last section, I'll simply repeat myself and go into a little more detail. A Button ___ / A \ \___/ *In the Game* It's used as the "Action" Button, and it's probably the most used button. It'll swing your hammer, pick your crops, and milk your cows. ;) *In Menus* It's used to confirm things. B Button ___ / B \ \___/ *In the Game* It's used to run. You'll be holding this button all the time, as obviously it helps you get around quicker. A LOT quicker. *In the Menu* Cancels things in the menu. Directional Pad _ _| |_ |_ _| |_| *In the Game* Used to walk around. Thats basically it. *In the Menu* Used to navigate throughout all of the menus. Also used to select yes or no. Start Button /\ / / \/ *In the Game* Used to quickly navigate through the items you are holding. *In the Men* The start button isn't used in the menu. Select Button /\ / / \/ *In the Game* Used to access the menu. *In the Menu* Brings up the secondary menu. *--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------* 4. Your Farm YFM *--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------* Your farm is the main setting where the game'll take place. It's where you keep your cows, sheep, chickens, crops, and where you ship out your goods. I have devised a little ASCII picture below to show you what your farm'll look like when it's fully completed, and use the number keys below the picture to navigate and find out what the things are... ______ _____ | |_| | 1.

Planting Crops *--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------* You have your farm memorized, and the controls down, but now that it's time, you'd like to learn more about how to plant crops. Well lets get the basics down first. -Crops are planted in a 3x3 Square. -Crops grow from seeds which can be purchased in the flower shop in town. -You must water your crops EVERY day or they will not grow. -The seeds can only be planted on plowed land, which is done with your trusty hoe or Super hoe. Ok, when you throw the seeds down, it'll show up a little something like this.. ::Cracks fingers:: _ _ _ |_|_|_| |_|_|_| |_|_|_| We don't want it to stay like this. It's too hard to water, takes too much time, and you can't even get to the middle one, which may become annoying for you.(It does for me.) Using a piece of wood from your wood box, place it over the middle bottom piece, or middle left peice, or middle right piece, etc. Just put it in one of the middle pieces to make it look a little something like this.. ::tries to cracks fingers, but can't. Looks around and says what:: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ |_|_|_| or |_|_|_| or |_|_|_| or |_|_|_| |_|_|_| _|_|_| |_|_| |_|_|_| |_| |_| |_|_|_| |_|_|_| |_|_|_| Don't worry about the missing crop, this way'll be much easier, at least once you get your sprinkler and with the time efficency, you can plant more patches of crops, which is actually bringing in more money than if you didn't do it this way. ;) *--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------* 6. Town TWN *--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------* You've seen the map, and you have a feel for the game, but now it's time to learn more about town, it's people, and the things that go on. This section has just that... The first shop you'll see when you enter the town is the Flower Shop. Here, you can purchase seeds to plant in your fields, grass to put in your pastures, or flowers to grow in your hothouses. The owner is Daisy, who in the Japanese versions was a boy. =\ Next to Daisy's shop, you'll see the church, where you can go to pray when you feel it's necessary. I don't ever have the time, but I can't speak for you... Next to church, you'll see the mayor's house, where you'll usually be ending up going when you talk to him to start a festival. Directly below the Mayor's house, you'll see Ken's Carpenter shop, where you go when you're upgrading your farm, or when you're using your little cheat, which you can learn more about in the cheats section. To the right of Ken's house, you'll see the hospital, where 'Doctor' lives. His name has a nice ring to it.. I wish I had that name. Go here when you're sick to become healed. To the right of Doctor's hospital, you'll see Bill's tool house, where he comes up with new fangeled contraptions they didn't have back in the day, which includes a saddle for your horse, all the way down to a couple of games for your TV. Gee.. South of Bill's tool shop, you'll see Chet's animal shop. Here, he'll sell you you animals, and tools for them. This is a useful shop. To the left of Chet's shop, is Rosie's resturaunt, where you're able to buy food so you don't poop out and become too weak or get sick. Have food and drinks at all times. Left of the restuaraunt is the library, where you can link to trade with other players or where you can look at photos of things you've done throughout the game, and print them out with the GameBoy Printer Device. North of town is town hall, where festivals usually take place. You can also check the bulletin board for messages and game help. *--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------* 7. Events ETS *--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------* Comming Soon... *--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------* 8. Secrets STS *--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------* -Weather Cheat Perhaps the biggest secret (which was intentionally put into the game, I might add) would be the weather cheat, where you can stop the rain from comming, or the snow from falling. How do you do this, you ask? Simple. First of all, you can't have every upgrade in the game.. On any day before it's gonna rain, (except sunday for the shops are closed) talk to Ken in his shop, and have him write you up an estimate. No matter what you were told the weather would be, the next day will not have any rain or snow. -Weather Cheat 2 Now some people want to still be able to use this, but they're unable to for they have upgraded everything they can possibly upgrade. Here is another nice method. Check to see if it is raining. When you hear it's gonna rain the next day, if you've saved the night before, turn off your game, and back on, the same weather person will say a different thing, instead of inclimate weather conditions, you'll hear it's gonna be a fine, warm, or sunny day. *--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------* 9. GameShark GSK *--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------* Well, this is a good thing for me. These codes (or at least some of them) are extremely long, meaning if you are a lazy person, you won't have much luck if you don't like putting in say... 30 rows of numbers for one code. Anyways, enjoy them, and PLEASE try the game before you use these codes.. It's much easier than you think it is, but thats not to say it's not challanging. I'd like to credit these codes to RageWarrior, for he was the ones to create most of them.
