Bokujou Monogatari iMODE (Square Enix)

About
Bokujou Monogatari I/EZ/J was a network game provided to cellular devices which used the iMODE, EZWeb, and Vodafone service providers. The game was published by Square Enix's mobile games division beginning service on April 21, 2003, and ending service on May 12, 2005. It is a brand new title which follows the events of post-game Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town (牧場物語 ミネラルタウンのなかまたち). The game's focus was on player connections and farming, unlike Friends of Mineral Town. Players were able to list their produced items in a "Farmer's Market" system to connect and trade with other users.

Mother Farm Cow Festival
The『牧場物語i』✕『マザー牧場』(Bokujou Monogatari i and Mother Farm) collaboration event was held from July 14, 2003, to August 15, 2003. Mother Farm, located in Chiba Prefecture, held a tie-in event via an in-game festival contest. During the event period, players could compete and cooperate with others via the network service to gain rankings on the event leaderboard. For the duration of the event period, a "Mother Farm Festival" was held every two weeks. At the festival, players could interact with Mother Farm's milking cows. Players could give the cows their own vegetables or fodder which were tallied by the amount eaten. Players who came in 1st place on their leaderboard were awarded admission tickets to Mother Farm. Top place rankers (specific ranks unknown) were awarded a plush toy of Mother Farm's mascot "マーモくん" (Maamo-kun).
