Does anyone know where to get that one game called Oregon Trail?

I used to play this when i was in elementary on the big brown colored apple computers.

i played it in junior high on a mac.

try a toystore (video\computer games), or a computer software store (children's section).

there are several versions i hear...

 

[eelw]

I remember seeing a PC version once at Future Shop. That was many years ago.

 

[Mday]

it's still out there, i know, i've seen it.

 

[Tominator]

Me too! I never bought it, but heard it was pretty good.

I`ve seen it recently at the local CompUSA in the kids software section.

[kendogg]

Any possible downloads? AHAHA ya this game did own!!!!!!

 

[Shudder]

I have it lying around here somewhere. I'll see what I can do for ya Kendogg

Only thing that sucks is when you die, you can't type stuff in on the gravestones like in the old Apple IIe version. Nothing beat dying on purpose and putting up someone's name you hate so everyone who drove by saw it

I have Oregon Trail 2 for PC sitting around. It's pretty cool. But all I do is buy some guns and shoot animals

This is weird. I never heard of this game, and just today in the mail I get a catalog from Mattel Interactive that has it.

They're selling Oregon Trail 4th edition (Win95/98 and PowerMac) for $39.95. www.mattelinteractive.com if you get desperate.

Holy cow 4th edition? hehe no thanks... i want the classic

I believe you can find the original out there in the emulation scene (search - I don't have a link). I was a big Apple ][ user and got nostalgic once. I found the emulator and some games. It works the same way as it used to: with Applesoft commands (CATALOG, BRUN, etc...).

It was fun for a little while, but it didn't take long for the magic to be lost. I can't imagine how I would have spent so many hours playing such simple, monochromatic games. I guess that was the state of the art (then).

My how things have changed.

Water, need water, almost there, a town. Please don't drown my carriages and all my sh!t. I gotta make it across the river.

I was ever able to play through that game in its entirety. Damn school bells
