Pretty much the title. What games do you love and what makes them ~~not stardew valley~~ stand out ( be it gameplay quirks, storyline, minigames... ) ?

I loved John Deere American Farmer back in the day. Unfortunately it doesn't work on modern machines. The menus don't display right. If it wasn't for that, it would be half-playable. The deluxe version might not have that problem, but I never got around to trying it.

One funny quirk was that family members would gain happiness from certain items (housing, bbq, pools, etc) and lose it from working. If happiness dropped too far for two long, you'd get an event about them leaving to join the French Foreign Legion or some other nonsense (there were a handful of variants.) The thing is, though, the happiness gained from these material possessions would degrade over time, meaning that it quickly evolved into a materialism simulator as you built pools (or giant statues of Paul Bunyan) to replace the pools that no longer where providing happiness.

You could also just hire people. That was usually the way to go if you wanted to get any serious work done. As long as you could pay wages, the hired help would stick around.
