Oregon Trail

[Pheran]

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!

I feel a case of dysentery coming on, brb.

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.

why is the sound so fucked up? Gotta have me some classic midi sound to play through this.

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.

no, the real Oregon Trail had PC speaker music. MIDI is a couple decades too advanced.

El Dorado is way cooler (Slightly NSFW)

i like the slightly newer one. the one that ran in windows. the dos one is a little too lame. i was in the era when we moved from the dos ones to the mac version.....

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!

The only thing you need to buy for the trip is ammo.

 

[DrawninwarD]

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.

I made it to disk two, then got owned by no-script.

 

[Alienwho]

Crap I was pretty far into it and accidentally pressed the escape key and lost everything.

 

[Kelemvor]

Made it on my first try.
