An Historic Moment
I have beaten The Oregon Trail. I never beat it in 4th grade when we played it on the terrible Macs at my school.
Play it here!

Ahaha awesome! I love that game. It's so addictive. I played it obsessively, then FINALLY beat it and promptly removed it from my computer lol

I never, ever could beat the game in elementary school. It just shows what terrible planning skills I had when I was 9.
I heard there was an updated version, but I played the old-timey version. Congrats on beating it too!

What's Oregon Trail II like?
You're welcome, just spreading the nostalgia.

The same, but in color and with a few more options. There were 5 or 6 careers to pick from at teh beginning, all with different point values and money attached -- plus I think the doctor healed faster, etc. Oh, and hunting was a bit more difficult. (but I think that had to do with the fact that I was playing a game designed to run on a windows 3.1 system on a computer that was much faster)

Heh, awesome. What's funny is that I named the teamleader after my roommate and NOTHING happened to her, but I broke both my arms, a leg, and had cholera, measles and typhoid. My boyfriend, Colin Firth, and Alan Rickman also got sick.
