Harvest Moon, known in Japan as Farm Story (牧場物語), is a farm simulation role playing video game developed by Amccus for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. The game first was released in Japan by Pack In Video in 1996, in North America by Natsume Inc. in 1997, and in Europe by Nintendo in 1998. The European version shipped with language localizations for Germany and France. It is the first game in the long running Story of Seasons video game series, previously known as the Harvest Moon series in western territories. The game has been re released on the Satellaview, Nintendo 3DS, Wii, Wii U and Nintendo Switch.

The game follows a young man charged with maintaining the farm he inherits from his grandfather. The primary objective is to restore and maintain a farm that has fallen into disrepair. The player decides how to allocate time between daily tasks, such as clearing land, planting crops, selling harvests, raising livestock, attending festivals, building relationships with villagers, and foraging. Gaining inspiration from his childhood in the countryside and the game series Derby Stallion, Wada wished to make a role playing game without any combat. However, after some time of development, Pack in Video, the publishers of Harvest Moon, went bankrupt. The following merge with Victor Entertainment led to the downsizing of Wada's development team, shrinking from ten members to only three. With a much smaller budget, the team spent the next six months finishing the game, reprogramming much of it from the ground up.

The game was released on August 9, 1996, in Japan for the Super Famicom. It was released in North America in 1997, and Europe in 1998. According to Natsume Inc.'s Adam Fitch, the game sold "a decent amount for that time". Upon release in Japan, the game had 20,000 sales. Despite the recent release of the Nintendo 64 the game would sell over 100,000 units. It featured "SoundLink" narration (radio drama style streaming voice data intended to guide players through the game and give helpful hints and advice). Due to the nature of SoundLink broadcasts these games were only broadcast to players between 6:00 and 6:50PM on broadcast dates. | EGM = 32.5/40

The game received mainly positive reviews and has a GameRankings standing of 73%. In 2018, Complex ranked the Harvest Moon 72nd on their "The Best Super Nintendo Games of All Time". IGN rated the game 46th in its "Top 100 SNES Games." They praised the game being incredibly fun.

The profitable release of Harvest Moon led to development of a second game in what would become a series, Harvest Moon GB. A third installment, Harvest Moon 64, would also be developed. For nearly the next two decades, new Harvest Moon games would be released frequently, at which point new games would be released under the title Story of Seasons due to issues with rights when Marvelous chose to move their localization division from Natsume Inc. to Xseed Games.
