Hmm, wonder if kids today play Oregon Trail? Doubt it. Getting across a river is a lost art.
ReplyDeleteI know some people that are ADDICTED to this game!
ReplyDeleteMan, when I was in elementary school, you were the kid to BE if it was your turn on Oregon Trail!! *sigh* WTH happened to getting an EDUCATION, for god's sake??
ReplyDeleteHahaha, Oregon Trail was so amazing. Don't get dysentery!!! I'm pretty sure we had a class in elementary school dedicated to playing only Oregon Trail.

When I first came to Mizzou and said I was from Oregon the only thing they knew about the state was it rained and they used to play a game called Oregon Trail (and they loved it).
ReplyDeleteOregan train looks cute other than the cholera part.
ReplyDeleteI loved playing that game and naming all the people in my wagon after my friends. "Sorry, Amanda, you just died of a snake bite. I couldn't sell enough bison to pay for the anti-venom and pay for the ferry river crossing."
ReplyDeleteSounds interesting! But some educational games can b real bored.
ReplyDeleteAny game that tells me I have cholera is one I am quite literally an immediate fan of.
ReplyDeleteWow.
I LOVED playing Oregon Trail when I was a kid. Best game EVER!!
ReplyDeleteI remember this game!! I remember getting a bit peeved that I was hit with cholera and typhoid and indians and whatever the heck came our way. What were we doing there anyway!!
ReplyDeleteLoved, loved, loved Oregon Trail. It was the highlight of my week in "Computer Lab" (nka Technology). Did you ever know anyone who actually got all the way to the end? I don't think I remember anyone surviving their journey. So sad...
ReplyDeleteLike Adrienne I would name the people in my wagon after real life friends. Although sometimes I would name them after people I didn't like and then secretly celebrate when they died from scurvy because I wouldn't buy any fruit. Is that wrong?
ReplyDeletethis is great!! I've been a sub for an US history class this year.. I found this game online when we were talking bout the ORegon Trail.. we played it onthe smart board (after I told them this was one of my fav games as a kid in school)... they absolutely loved it.. though the graphic are horrible etc.. they had fun picking names of other memembers etc.. this is great!!
ReplyDeleteI used to love Oregon Trail, but I never knew why I died of dysentery until I was much older.
ReplyDeletei used to think it was only the 6th graders who could make it to the end of the oregon trail. however,i recently discovered that it's very hard not to make it to oregon. then i realized it was because when i was 10, i thought a good use of money was to by 8 spare wagon wheels, 1 box of bullets, and spend the rest on extra socks.
ReplyDeleteCAULK THE WAGON AND FLOAT!
ReplyDeleteI love Oregon Trail. It was a computer class favorite in elementary school. A few years ago me and my boyfriend downloaded it on the internet. We named the members of our party after the Wu-Tang Clan. I think the RZA died of Scurvy. Fun times!!
I almost didnt recognize the Oregon Trail picture with it being in color and all. Im so used to the dingy green
ReplyDeleteSame here, Jessca - when I met a bunch of people from wisconsin, everyone said OREGON TRAIL!... not only that, but they say the name like ore-GONE. bah. hate that!
ReplyDeleteI was at the library yesterday and this game was on the for sale rack for 50 cents. I couldn't pass it up.
