[prMac.com] Alexandria, VA - Before there was Farmville, Farm Town, Barn Buddy, Ranch Rush or any of the other clones that came after it, software developers from Alawar Melesta in 2006 came up with a unique game play genre where players could help a lonely farmer turn a run-down farmstead into a rich, flourishing agricultural complex..
