Forever Growing Garden
Description
Some hardware companies often published their own games in order to bundle them with their hardware (when they couldn't get enough big-name games to sign with them). This is one such product. Forever growing garden's gameplay consists of selecting seeds, etc. and taking care of them in order to later sell your crops on the market and flowershop (were you can also make flower-arrangements, etc.) the game is aimed at kids, so everything from the interface to the objectives are kept very simple and straight-forward. Also the game is filled with hot-spots that start animations or sound effects.

The Good
My son used to play this game for hours. Excellent graphics, even for today and lots of fun
The Bad
QuickTime isn't backwards compatible and not all machines will run it if you have a newer version on your system.
The Bottom Line
Young children can select seeds at the hardware store, plant their garden, water, harvest and sell them at market. Also some "fun seeds" that sing.. have toes and cute faces.
