The Oregon Trail Thread

Of course everyone played Oregon Trail in school.

When your other option was "Sim Town," Oregon Trail won every time.

Unless you had access to Math Workshop, then that usually won out ;_;

Most amazing jew boots

I've even played the original version of Oregon Trail!(pre-Apple II)

Anyone know about this version?

How ya doing, buddy?

I managed to get 100x the old score record at my school.

Played as a teacher (x3.5 bonus), started as early as possible, bought almost nothing except bullets. Then just constantly, constantly stop and shoot. Sure you "overhunt the area" but if you just keep hunting occasionally a dear or bison will pop up. Then, just keep running trades until you get someone who'll trade you something useful for 75 pounds of food.

I rolled into the Oregon with almost maximum in everything and everyone was alive. But I had to devote a few weeks to just the one game, unfortunately.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Double post boo hoo. Cry me a river and caulk over it.

I just forgot to link to the latest version of the game, unfortunately. It's a bit harder than the old game.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Haha, so I wasn't the only one to name one of my characters Jesus. And then have Jesus die of dysentery.

FELIPE NO

i remember this game from like fourth grade. haven't played it since then, sadly.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Who would've thought my old thread could still be getting replies today?

I loved it when one of my crew members managed to break both his legs, got sick, and still managed to get lost, which halted the entire journey until the rest of us found him.

That review from Sharky was hilarious. I hope everyone read it.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Could you by any chance upload your version of the game to yousendit, Sir Freelance Wolf? I was browsing through the forums when I saw this thread and the adventures from my olden days call for nostalgia at it's best

There's nowhere I can't reach.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
