2. Version History

Version 0.1 (3/17/04)

Started this guide! Outlined everything, found my notes on the Harvest Moon game.

Version 0.2 (3/20/04)

It took all of my free time, but I finally finished typing all the character event

info that I've discovered. There was actually less than I thought.

Version 0.4 (3/23/04)

Found a whole bunch of character events, now, if I can only find time to finish

typing them.

Version 1.0 (3/25/o4)

I finished typing all the character events that I know, and I will continue this guide

 as soon as I find more character events.

Version 1.1 (4/10/04)

Sorry I havn't updated in a while. I havn't been able to play Harvest Moon at all

since classes started. I've added two more events, and hopefully a lot more by

next Wednesday. I'll also add Frequently Asked Questions in my next update.

Version 1.15 (7/10/04)

Added a FAQ section and corrected a few mistakes in the FAQ. I'm trying a

new text format, so if this FAQ looks messed up, I should have it fixed

tommorow.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. Introduction

It drove me nuts not being able to find a guide describing those random events that

have almost no point in Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town, so, not being able

to find a guide like that on the internet, I decided to make one myself.

This is my first guide/FAQ and any constructive criticism or comments would be

appreciated. Enjoy yourselves.
