Why didn't my school ever have this game?
Why didn't my school ever have this game?
We had the original on this really really old computer down in the basement and then my dad threw the computer away so I couldn't play it any more and I was sad but then we bought the new one and that made it all better.

I love this game!!! I wonder if you didn't buy the people clothes they walked around naked or if they started out with clothes. It would be intresting to see what the game graphics could do to show you a naked person.
Thanks for the sig Blitz Ace!
Someone wanta challenge me to chess?
I never played it because I was the lame kid who sat off on that one comp in the corner alone playing Carmen Sandiego instead.
I like Kung-Fu.
Yeah I played Oregeno trail at school and home...should still have the disc somewhere....
we used to play that on our computer in second grade.
Yes, those were the days when it was spiffy to have a special inclass computer.
Heck, we even beat it a time or two.
I have never played that version, but I have played the second one (I think) The graphics were quite a bit better. I always sucked at that damn game.
I never got good at it 'cause we only had one computer in the class, and the teacher didn't give us long enough turns to actually learn the game. I always died of like a broken leg or something stupid.
Ahhh the Oregon Trail I remember palying this one in Grade 4 at our school. I barely ever got ot play because of game hogs and teachers who didn't care. But when I did damn was I happy. This is an awesome old skool title!
Ah, Oregon Trail. I played this all growing up at school as a giant floppy disk (when floppy discs were still actually floppy) on the good ol' Apple II. I think my school knew the person who wrote the program, but I could be wrong. I remember thinking I was so clever when I came up with this classic tombstone:
Homer Simpson has died.
D'oh.

Leave some shards under the belly
Lay some grease inside my hand
It's a sentimental jury
And the makings of a good plan
I love the old Apple II emulators - you can download old-school Oregon Trail and other childhood memories here: http://www.virtualapple.com/ I wish they had Wonderland Puzzles and Word Munchers, though.
Oh wow! That game really made time go by in our computer class. I would finish the trail but with my entire family dead and barely and supplies left. I would suspect the main guy would die afterwars because of depression.
B-E-N-D-E-R BEEENNNDER! B-E-N-D-E-R BEEEENNNDER!
My friend and I were talking about it last week sometime. It was one of the first computer games either of us had played, and we would spend hours on it. (We both also got quite good at Carmen Sandiego, too.)
I liked to keep as much of my party alive at the end as I could, but my friend would name some members after people she didn't like, and then gleefully watch them pass on along the trail. Then we'd go and play the next game naming them after our family members or something.
We both agreed that the re-release with updated graphics and whatnot for Win. 95 totally killed any appeal the game had. The crappy graphics make the game for me, at least.
Smile. ^_^
And I thought I our school had few computers... lets see I believe in 4th(which is when I first recall playing this game) we had 5-7 computers in the classroom.. and we had roughly 16. However few were computer savvy enough to bother.. they would play board games instead.
For me the funniest was fixing and/or playing WITH the computers... I wonder why the teachers now tell me to stay away?! :P
STILL Updating the anime list. . . I didn't think I was that much of an anime freak! I don't even want to consider updating the manga list!
