Nope; Sim Farm requires System 7+ and the 128k only goes to 3.4. It does however run in B&W mode.
So the 128k is the one classic Mac that Sim Farm won't run on.
Works fine under Mini vMac, PCE/macplus, SoftMac, Executor, Basilisk II, SheepShaver and QEMU though

Oh ok so I suppose it won't run on a 512k

Nope; it'll run on a 512ke and higher, but not the 128 or 512. Most 512s were upgraded to 512ke though, so if the one you're thinking of was upgraded, you just need to boot it with System 7 and the game should work.

I wasn't aware of the 512Ke being able to run System 7. Huh. I guess you learn something new everyday.

The 512ke is essentially a 512k converted to a Mac Plus. It can run up to 7.5.5.
