My Game Studio - Farmsoft

Like much of the internet, I've been enjoying Game Dev Story. As a simulation it has a lot of flaws but I still found it a lot of fun to visualise the type of studio I was creating. I might have started out planning to make the next Halo-killer but, and this is one thing the game gets right, I quickly realised that I had a lot of limitations on what I could do. I was never a fan of the Gameboy back in the day but, somewhat unintentionally, the Gameboy ended up being the foundation of Farmsoft's success.

Anyway, here's a summary of Farmsoft's not so glorious software catalog. Would you become a Farmsoft fan?
