I don't care what anybody else says, the old Oregon Trail games were some of the most kickass games around. Shooting crap, watching your friends drown in river, or getting pissed off becuase the stupid wagon drove over you? How can you beat memories like that?

I think you can find them on GameTap. I played the entire (Blank) Trail series, such as the Yukon Trail and Amazon Trail games. Good times.

Those were great games.


Btw; I can't remember if I was playing the Amazon Trail Demo or something, but does that game end rather suddenly?

The original Oregon Trail was AWESOME!
Yukon Trail was fun, but Oregon Trail was infinitely better.

EDIT (grrr, button dissapeared!): I think it's when a tiger(?) gives you a medal or something.

Didn't you have to get a bunch of medals? Mabey the trial only lets you get one.

You have killed a bison. You are able to carry 2 pounds of meat back to the wagon.

Go to Globalgamenetwork.com and play it for free. They call it Westward Trail, I think.

I think my party was solely responsible for the mass extinction of buffalo. I would shoot as many as I could despite only carrying a few pounds back.

Web-based version. You even have to switch disks halfway through!
