牧場物語 (Bokujō Monogatari)

牧場物語 (Bokujō Monogatari) (Harvest Moon) — Super Famicom, Japan, Pack-In-Video, 1996. Japan: Aug 6, 1996. From JAPAN: THE FIRST FIELDS in the Harvest Moon Games Gallery.

The first farm: the circular medallion that set Japan’s design language for a decade.

The first farm. Pack-In-Video published it; series creator Yasuhiro Wada designed it. The box's circular medallion of the cast over a farm scene sets the Japanese design language the next decade of boxes follows — and it shares no art with the American box (A1).

Date note: Japanese sources give August 6, 1996; English Wikipedia's August 9 is a repeated error the Library does not repeat.

Across the Pacific in this gallery: Harvest Moon.

Shown here at its verified native size, 502×922, the largest honest copy the Library holds for this box.
