John Deere American Farmer - The Game

Thanks to GameSpot for its story discussing the new release of agriculture-themed PC videogame John Deere American Farmer, "the first game to be licensed by agricultural equipment manufacturer Deere & Company", which "charges players with establishing and maintaining a successful farm." The official videogame site has much more information on this Harvest Moon-esque value-price PC title with a great box cover, noting the player must "overcome bug infestations, unpredictable weather and disgruntled employees", all the while "purchasing and controlling authentic John Deere branded equipment - tractors, combines, planters, cultivators and more."

Cool, but.....

Looking at the game feature is appears to be missing a couple of important items you would have to deal with:

1. GM crop protestors attempting to destroy your crops whilst wearing fake biohazard suits (do you get these people in the US?)

2. Travellers setting up their caravans on your land, leaving rubbish around & allowing their dogs to attack your livestock. (is this another UK thing?)

Yep. If it had these, I'd buy it right away!
