Did you like this episode's game selections? Let your fellow listeners know in TalkBack! Think you've got a better choice? Then send it my way and your request might be on the next episode of Radio Trivia: Podcast Edition!  Heck, throw in a question and specific songs if you want.  Just remember, it has to be a game found on a Nintendo system in North America (unless we say otherwise)!

I got 2 out of the 5 games, not too good!

I identified games 1 and 2 pretty quickly. Nintendo Land is a fun game overall packed with great style and lots of replayability, with a nice soundtrack to boot. I am playing AC: New Leaf, and I can appreciate what it does very well, but like TYP, I think it's just not my kind of game since there aren't specific goals and you could just play with no end in sight.

I had no idea what games 3-5 were. I had not played games 4 and 5, so that makes sense. I wasn't too fond of the music actually.

I should have known Game 3, Harvest Moon 64. I played it alot back when it was new, but yeah, it's been too many years since then. I did try playing the SNES version just recently for the first time, and it was ok.

I love that moment a few seconds into the first song for a game where I realize that it's my listener request  ;D .

I've sadly long given up on the Harvest Moon series.  This particular game just came along at the right age and time (I was 13 and it was summer vacation) for me to sink all my free time into playing it.  My sister and I would play this game for hours and hours and then sneak back to the tv room after my parents went to bed and play until 3 or 4 in the morning.  Fond memories.

Now I feel the same way about this and Animal Crossing as TYP: my life just doesn't have room for investing time in games like these.
I got hooked on the white stuff back in the 70s.
