Harvest Moon: Back to Nature

Harvest Moon: Back to Nature (牧場物語 ハーベストムーン) — PlayStation, America, Natsume Inc., 2000. Japan: Dec 16, 1999 · America: Nov 22, 2000. From AMERICA: THE EARLY HARVEST MOON in the Harvest Moon Games Gallery.

Mineral Town’s debut: the most reissued classic in the line, in its jewel-case first form.

The Mineral Town setting's debut and the most reissued classic in the line (PSN re-releases followed in 2008 and 2011). The American box back is a proper jewel-case back insert — PS1 packaging anatomy is part of this object's story: front insert, back insert, disc, manual.

The US release date is widely given only as 'November 2000'; the Ranch Story wiki pins it to November 22, 2000, and the Library uses the exact date.
