Oregon Trail

For us old timers, this is a blast from the past. If you've never played, have fun. 😀

Oregon Trail (Java version)

This made an annoying buzzing sound on my system, but it works fine if you just mute the sound.

See if you can survive!

fuck, make sure you turn off noscript or else you can't load disk 2 without losing your game.

i was halfway through a grueling pace and everyone was dead but me. twice i tried to ford the river, twice people died. jimmy got typhoid, someone else got exhaustion. fuck everyone else.
 
I made it through on my first attempt with 395 points, only 1 person left alive. It's a miracle I didn't starve in some places, fruit was keeping me alive. I lost a lot of food early on to a bad river ford attempt.

EDIT: Oops, actually I got 790 points for being a carpenter.

I remember my 9yr old niece teaching me to play Oregon Trail, who also taught me how to look up airline flights on Prodigy that day.
 
I remember playing this on an Apple IIe during computer class in middle school...

I don't think I ever beat it. Typhoid, bears, crazy rivers you can never cross without losing half of everything...

Oregon Trail is only for the most serious of "core" gamers!
 
I just beat it right now.

Went as carpenter. Everyone survived, even though my guys had typhoid, cholera, dysentery and measles. But I persevered the trail.
