Bluestacks App Player

Randy Flujowa, another member of a group on Facebook for Family Farm Seaside, suggested a simulator app for people who do not have Androids or IPads or anything else.  Using the Bluestacks App Player, one can play Family Farm Seaside on any computer, whether a P.C. or Mac.  I asked my cousin Aloysius Villiers to install the app on my old laptop and to play the game that way.  He has done so and it appears to work.

For those of you who wish to play Family Farm Seaside but do not have 'smartphones' or any sort of mobile device, do try Bluestacks.  Make certain, however, that you download from the Bluestacks site itself and not from another location!

Bluestacks

The Bluestacks App Player can be installed on any P.C., laptop or Mac if it is not running a version of Windows that is older than Vista I believe.  If you have a Touchscreen, the game will run the same way it does on an Android or IPad.  Without a Touchscreen, you must use your Mouse which makes it a bit slower.

By January 2014, my cousin no longer used the Bluestacks Player on his laptop.  Too many updates that did not work for him as well as the awkwardness of not having a Touchscreen for a game that was developed FOR Touchscreens made it virtually impossible to play Family Farm Seaside properly.   The other laptop that had a Touchscreen crashed whenever Bluestacks was installed.
