Do you remember playing Oregon Trail ?

Answer 1

Yes. Actually made social studies fun in junior high

Answer 2

I played it eons ago. Unfortunately we live in a micro computer world where there are constantly new versions of our operating system in which stuff that used to work on the old version either not work any more, or horrible ordeal just to get it working, and eventually we have to move to some version where we can't do the old great stuff any more. I don't suppose there's enough people who want what I want to make it work, but some day I would like to have a deal where in our home we have a computer that is the firewall, the anti-virus, anti-spam, protector and then we have a partition where we can do stuff that was available on older versions of Windows, OS/2 etc. becuse the partition is simulating the environment on which that old stuff could run There is another game I like which has much of the same flavor as Oregon Trail, but it is played with people sitting around a table. It is a map of Africa from several centuries ago when Europeans had only explored the outer edges. As you explore, the map gets covered up with crayon marks showing what the different people have found out, then a particular color gets erased because that expedition got wiped out, so what they found is never published. You get scoring points for finding the highest waterfall, mountain, etc. so far. You discover various tribes & try to trade with them, hire them, sometimes find out they are rather hostile. There's weird botany and new animals to learn about, some of which can be poisonus. The name of the game is THE SOURCE OF THE NILE because what we are searching for is where the water into the Nile river is coming from. You can try going uprivers in canoes, which can carry only so much stuff, then there is the hassle of getting them past rapids and waterfalls (going up, you have to go around). You can take Camels, Horses, Elephants, to carry stuff overland, but you also need food and water for them ... you can kill them for food, but watch out, you need to have enough food to support you on your way out. You can leave food caches along the route you came in, but good luck finding them ... the hostile natives may have absconded with your caches.

Answer 3

yeah I remember playing it on a Mac, with oh so cool graphics that were so pixelated they resembled building blocks. I have a CD-ROM of Oregon Trail II that I still play sometimes. Basically the same game with better graphics.
