I think the maddest I have ever been at Oregon Trail was when I decided to ford a 3 foot deep river because, hey it was only three feet deep. 350 pounds of food floated away and my wife drowned. How does that even HAPPEN.

I made my son's name the name for everyone in our party the first time I showed it to him, so every time something happened it was to him. :)

I live about 15 minutes from the end of the Oregon Trail... The museum is kind of amusing. It looks like three giant covered wagons, but one of the wagon covers was damaged in a storm and they never had the funding to replace it so now none of the "wagons" are covered and it's rusting. While googling for pictures I found out it actually closed in 2009 because In February 1996, floodwaters damaged it, closing the center for more than two months. High waters threatened again the next year. In the recession summer of 2001, the center was forced to lay off employees and close for a month. The general downturn in tourism following the Sept. 11 attacks made a bad situation worse. The center won some breathing room when U.S. Bank forgave a nearly $500,000 loan it made in the early 1990s to help pay for construction. "I don't think we would have closed," Porter said. "But it definitely helped. If they had gone the other direction and called in the loan, that would have been potentially disastrous." Weather was the problem again in November 2003, when storms tore apart the two-ton sheets of polypropylene that covered the hoops on one of the center's signature covered wagons. With no money for repairs, the center left the 50-foot-high steel rings bare, turning a iconic figure of the Oregon City landscape into a scar.

On the oooold Oregon Trail my wagon got on fire in the middle of the river. Three people died.

Does anyone know where one can play the old game? I would love to have my entire party die of dysentery once again. Also wouldnt mind playing amazon trail again.

I grew up with this exact Oregon Trail game, and this is the exact reason why I hate it. All my pioneers died on me too. :|

FYI, the one in the gif is Oregon Trail 5th Edition. The game consists of many type of animations, there are 3D animations when crossing a river, cartoon scenes in between "chapters". It's not that fancy actually.

Man i remember that game. We use to put classmates names as the characters and yell out to them when they died and made fun of them for dying... I guess we were pretty fucked up kids.

Damn, this brings me back to when I was in elementary school, and I played that game daily. I literally havent though about it in years, and now I have an urge to play it right now.

kiki6y6 · 2 months

DYSENTERY

ashleyamdj · 2 months

Very serious question. WHERE can I find this?!?! This edition was my absolute favorite! Is there a download somewhere? I can never find it at the stores. I don't want some new fangled one. Maybe an older one, but I want THIS one!!!

iatethefruit · 2 months

I only got to play the 2D version when I was a kid. I feel old.

syfr1221 · 2 months

Dude, you had WAY better graphics than I had.

I'm looking at this drunk as hell and this made no sense.

Khalexus · 2 months

I feel like I missed out on something as a kid. I've never played Oregon Trail, nor ever seen anyone play it. All I've ever seen were photos of "You have died of Dysentery" etc.

Though looking at the wiki, apparently this game seemed to be on every school computer in the US. So, any other Aussies here that have never played this game?

I still had Baker Cat open from another thread when I watched this. The music goes so well with it.
