Destineer has developed John Deere: Harvest in the Heartland, a
"hands-on" real-time farming game for the Nintendo DS. From
soil to sustenance, the game challenges players to create and maintain a
fully functioning farm. Through an intuitive Touch Screen interface,
players use the Nintendo DS stylus
to work the land, raise livestock,
pick crops, milk cows, and more to earn cash and improve the farm by
purchasing land, livestock, and John Deere equipment. However, there is
no such thing as a successful "lazy farmer'--players who
neglect their farm will reap what they sow as they watch their farms and
crops turn to dust.
