Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports). "Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.

"Generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission.

[–]ColonelMolerat 9 points10 points ago

What magic version of Oregon Trail is this?! I want it!

[–]noirthesable 2 points3 points ago

Oregon Trail Fifth Edition.

Don't get your hopes up, watch some YouTubes of the gameplay footage first.

[–]Zylox 8 points9 points ago

Woah, they made an Oregon trail with animations?

[–]noirthesable 3 points4 points ago

The latest Oregon Trail is full 3D. This goes about as well as it sounds.

Fourth edition had animations for your travelling partners too, IIRC (pretty much greenscreened actors), as well as first person 3D views for your cart tumbling down mountains.

[–]Squeedledorf 1 point2 points ago

Your link made me sad. I would rather play the older editions.

[–]ovinophile 0 points1 point ago

Oh! I thought this was an artist's recreation of the old game.

[–]d3l3t3 32 points33 points ago

Open OP's link in one tab. Open this in another tab. Pure fun.

[–]ColonelMolerat 3 points4 points ago

My God that's brilliant. Watching antics whilst the Benny Hill Theme plays NEVER gets old.

[–]Smarts91 1 point2 points ago

I think I've been on Reddit too much this week. I knew what it was going to be before I clicked the links...

[–]pnilz 2 points3 points ago

Well, you never ford the rivers.

[–]Mushy_64 2 points3 points ago

[–]Chachoregard 1 point2 points ago

[–]They-Call-Me-TIM 1 point2 points ago

Every damn time, the water is only 3 feet deep? Nope that wagon still god damn tipped over and got flooded...

[–]Ins1d3r 1 point2 points ago

It's the second time I have seen this on reddit and I have no idea what that is. Could someone please explain, i'm interested.

[–]jennrenn 0 points1 point ago

It's the game Oregon Trail. It was an okay game, and most classrooms had a copy for their dinosaur computers. Google it if you wish.

[–]Edgely 0 points1 point ago

There is also a new revamped version available on the App Store

[–]stepppes 1 point2 points ago

wow thx man. laughed way to hard.

[–]Skizzik_NZ 0 points1 point ago

Dysentery! Cholera! Snakebites!

[–]Calculusbitch 0 points1 point ago

Is tehre any modern version of this game? I have never played Oregon Trail but I would love to try it

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

I don't know what version OP has, but you can probably find the original and Oregon Trail Deluxe online. They're very old but solid games, and I'm pretty sure they'd be considered freeware by now.

[–]RavarSC 0 points1 point ago

There's a version for iOS

[–]Trimm_Dich_Forever 0 points1 point ago

Holy shit did this game anger the fuck out of me while I was in fifth grade. Teach had it installed in the class computers and I would always play it. After what seemed like five hours of prep and bullshit the first river I come to I fall sideways like a fat obese man in a god damn butter factory. SIGH Ah, I miss this game.

[–]UnfurledRelic 0 points1 point ago

obese man in a butter factory

I laughed.

[–]ausernottaken 0 points1 point ago

Did anyone ever play this on their home computer or was it always just in school?

[–]Pussmangus 1 point2 points ago

i had it at home

[–]BlaqkJak 0 points1 point ago

always at school for me

[–]Sharpmanexe 0 points1 point ago

"Forge the river!"

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Dysentery.

[–]farfikuger 0 points1 point ago

Oregon trail FTW.

[–]VashXP 0 points1 point ago

it was always either this or dysentery that would kill me.

[–]wabudd1 0 points1 point ago

I'm so old I had to read the comments to figure out this was a remake of Oregon Trail... I thought it was somebody's render...

[–]lvlonkii 0 points1 point ago

Right when i saw the wagon go and sink, i popped in my head...OREGON TRAIL

[–]asdf4455 0 points1 point ago

so your childhood was one disaster after another too?

[–]ImDumbIrl 0 points1 point ago

When my 80 year olds would break their arm, I would always choose "exercise the wound" . They died every time... Looking back, pouring salt on rattlesnake bites wasn't a great choice either.

[–]TheSuperNerd 0 points1 point ago

Bad Luck Brian plays Oregon Trail.

[–]TestZero 0 points1 point ago

I lol'd

[–]damosk 0 points1 point ago

I don't know what this game is, but i still laughed.

[–]JGDawg 0 points1 point ago

It's Oregon Trail.

[–]brett84c 0 points1 point ago

I can't believe this hasn't been upvoted like crazy... I was hysterical

[–]shokwaav -1 points0 points ago
