This game is impossible, what's the best way to ration out everything so nobody dies and everybody get there safely? I have never ever beat this game ever!!!!

yes you can kill squirrels for food. no you don't kill indians.

DAMN YOU! You're making me want to play this game again :D

Last time I played this was back on an Apple IIc computer, some where in the 80's.
I greatly prefer Number Munchers!

wow, that was some good times.

My all time favorite for the Apple IIc was Rescue Raiders Linky


Curious does anyone have it working for Firefox? Didn't for me, had to use IE :|

The key=set travel to 12+ hours, stop at every trading post, hunt to keep at least 1000 lbs of meat stocked up.

Works fine for me in IE.

Ended with 4280 points as a carpenter. Lost one of my step-brother's on the trip when I tried to ford a stream that was too high. :eek:

Edit: OMG this site has Zany Golf! And the Ultima games! And California Games!

It's not that hard. I was almost there until I accidently clicked a link in my e-mail and it opened it in the same window my game was on. :|

Edit: I had to use IE to get the game to work too........

That's weird. First time I've ever played it and I finished. Only 776 points, but I finished....

I never beat Oregon Trail, ever. I always preffered Number Munchers and others.

My mom was a professor at the local University back in the day. Some of her more tech-savvy students gave her some disks of pirated Apple II games as a gift, including the original Mario Brothers game. (with the pipes and the koopas and the coins and the POW block) That game rocked. Too bad I got crumbs in the disk: we couldn't use them anymore 'cause it would either f%$# up the disk or f%$# up the drive. :(

We had castle game -- I think it was Dark Castle -- but whoever pirated it had f%$#ed up the code and you couldn't climb ladders.
