    Default Old game involving fishing, chopping down trees, etc.

    I'm trying to recall the name of a game I once played as a kid. It involved fishing, chopping down trees and other such things in order to survive. I'm sure there was hunting involved, too. Unfortunately there is so little I recall about the game beyond that. xD So, with that said, are there any old survive-in-the-wild games out there you can recall?

    EDIT: It's just dawned on me that it was a Western game. As in, cowboys, indians, etc.

    Pretty sure it was for PC, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was for other platforms, too. I'm starting to remember more about it - it was a gold rush kind of game where you could enter mines and try your luck, or do that thing they do in rivers that I forget the name of at the moment. You know. With the plate. That thing. Anyway, there were also wanted signs and bounties, stuff like that. I don't think it was real-time or 3D, so I think it was a case of going screen-by-screen, first-person view style.

    This is doing my head in.

    By PC do you mean DOS, or something different?

    Oh, I'm almost certain it's a DOS game. I think this predates Windows games. xD It might even be an arcade game, now that I think about it.

    How has nobody suggested Oregon Trail?
    Forward, the Light Brigade!'
    Was there a man dismay'd?
    Not tho'(though) the soldiers knew
      Some one had blunder'd:
    Theirs not to make reply,
    Theirs not to reason why,
    Theirs but to do and die:
    Into the valley of Death
      Rode the six hundred.


    Cannon to right of them,
    Cannon to left of them,
    Cannon in front of them
      Volley'd and thunder'd;
    Storm'd at with shot and shell,
    Boldly they rode and well,
    Into the jaws of Death,
    Into the mouth of Hell
      Rode the six hundred.
