- Because "Occasionally Growing Garden" just wasn't snappy enough.
This game was hiding deep beneath the recesses of my memory. I had it as a kid and vaguely remember liking it, until I ended up snapping the disc in half because of me being dumb and bored.
This is a children's game centered on, shocker, gardens. You pick one of three gardens to grow things in, pick your seeds, plant and water them, and wait for them to grow. After they grow, depending on which garden you picked you can either do something with the "normal" plants or click on the "fantasy" plants to watch them animate. Each garden has some type of gimmick, and there's also a random gopher-catching minigame for some reason.
My playing of this game was the first time I had ever laid eyes on it in almost two decades. And...I'm really just left scratching my head as to why I liked this game so much. It's not horrible or anything, but it's very shallow. You stick the seeds in the holes, water them, and then just watch them grow. That's all. Despite the instructions on the backs of the plants implying otherwise, you never have to water them again afterwards. There's a few side activities but all in all this game wears thin very quick. Considering it was made in 1993 it is a bit impressive as that would make it a very early Windows-based game, but it's definitely rough around the edges. It feels like the developers had an idea for a game but didn't fully understand what to do with it.
And, I must apologize...I made a ton of mistakes while recording this so I had to do a lot of editing to cover for them (this is why there's occasional weirdness like a seed suddenly popping in the bucket and then vanishing, for example). In the end, you still see just about everything except for the back of one of the seed packets (I forgot to record it and it's just a piece of text so I don't feel like going back and doing it again), but yeah, there's a bit of skipping around going on here and some inconsistencies. Sorry about that. I tried to make it as smooth as possible but pardon my haphazardness.
I have very little else to say about this. This is a very obscure game, but I've been surprised at how much traction videos of obscure games can get before so maybe it'll happen this time too?
Hope you enjoy! This is going to be my final video of the year, so see you next year!
I also had this game, and remember playing it a lot. The sounds themselves evoked a lot of nostalgia. I'm not sure I would call it a game due to its shallowness (as you pointed out) but it's definitely a toy with a specific age range. Thanks for the footage - it made my brain tingle.
Just here to hear the Pipers do the "skeetscatscababobobiddydotski" thing.
I had this game as a kid. My gardening-obsessed mother got it for me. I enjoyed it, even if it wasn't one of my top favorites. It wasn't until a few years after I got it I fully understood how everything in the game worked.
Good old Madge and Ethel talking about stealing pumpkins 😂. Thanks for posting this, I missed this game a lot.
I had this game as a kid. I forgot the name of it and had to ask reddit to help me find it by describing it. Soooooo weird to see it again.
I remember being frustrated as a child at having no way to beat this game, because that was never its purpose. nevertheless i tried time and again. classic nostalgia
i was only about four years old when my grandpa got his first (giant) home PC and this game for the grandkids to play on it. i still have super vivid memories of playing this for hours over the years, so funny what our brains remember. my grandpa passed last year and watching this/listening to these sounds again brought back lots of happy memories of him. thank you for posting!!
Thank you for sharing this heartwarming story about your grandpa. May his soul Rest In Peace, and also that you and your family may be always healthy and happy.
I cant believe I was lucky enough to play this as a child.
I used to play this game when I was a kid. The school I used to go to had this game too and the kids could play now and then. Good memories. Thank you very much for posting this.
OMG that realistic Babyface sunflower baby thing.... Can I imagine that sunflower with Baby Yoda's face on it?
Interesting video. Obscure game, but an interesting concept. Oh well. See you in 2021!

Which computer was you playing this game on?
The 486
What happened to the old hard drive that was on the 486 which had Windows 95 on it?
Is the only reason why that you were using the CompactFlash Card on the 486 this time instead of the Hard Drive, because you had to use Windows 3.1 for you to play this old game which required Turbo to be turned off, and that is when you play the newer turbo games that don’t require turbo to be turned off, you use its original hard drive on Windows 95 instead? True or False
