Game Review

The Oregon Trail is a computer game originally produced by the Minnesota Educational Computing Consortium (MECC) in 1974, designed to teach school children about the life of 19th century pioneers. The game was extremely successful and was released for several other platforms including Apple II in 1985 and PC MS-DOS in 1990.

The Oregon Trail incorporates simulation elements and planning ahead, along with discovery and adventure, as well as mini-game-like activities (hunting and floating down the Dalles River).

The version offered by GamesNostalgia is the 1992 version, officially released for Windows3.1 but actually working on MS-DOS. This version offers much better graphics compared to the original MS-DOS version of 1990.

We played this game on the Macs in the lab, and it got competitive. Many players killed an wiped out. I liked this game back in the old days. It was pretty easy to get a pretty good score. You just hunt all the time, taking 200 lbs of food at a time, and when you get to at least 1,200 lbs you sell it off for $200.00 at a time. If you were to buy 500 lbs of food from the forts it would cost you a small fortune, but if you sell it for $200.00 at a time, for anywhere up to however much you want to part with, you can make a pile of money. When your people get sick you rest for a few days until they are in 'good' health again.

Guild Of Dungeoneering is a turn-based dungeon crawler with a twist: instead of controlling the hero you build the dungeon around him. Using cards drawn from your Guild decks, you lay down rooms, monsters, traps and of course loot! Meanwhile your hero is making his own decisions on where to go and what to fight.

So it's a good idea to start as early in spring as possible. Riding the prairiethrough cactus laden valleys,jackrabbit spotted on the ground and vultures fly overheadcattle graze on that sweet sweet hillside grassWe gather around a campfire and tell stories about the gold claim that never waslay back on you saddle blankets, pull your hat over you eyes and fall asleep under the moonlight dreaming about nothing except the countryside you grew up onwaking up early in the morning, hooking the oxen up to the wagon and hitting the trail before noon.Sarah, bless her heart, Sarah comes down with dysentery, and she breaks a leg. A cattle runs free and we spend an entire day looking for it but it can never go back to domesticated life even if we find it.Sarah passes away from dysentery, bless her heart, and we have to bury her. We erect a gravestone that reads 'Here lies Sarah, she died of dysentery.lol, that's super diarrhea'She would have wanted it that way.But on the upside we can finally up our meal rations to full and live like kings all the way to Oregon. Upon reaching Fort Laramie, I ensured that I had enough supplies and continued on my journey.

Immediately, a thief stole all 12 of my oxen. I laughed, traded all of my remaining money for more oxen, and continued. Almost immediately, a thief stole 100 bullets. No big deal, I have many more. Then, one of my party members got dysentary, typhoid, and a broken arm in the span of 3 days. Again, I laughed, and rested to allow him his rest.

While resting, another thief stole all 10 of my oxen. I remember this game fondly and only wonder how a 5 year old could actually do relatively well given all of the ox thievery. Here are instructions for Chrome browsersIn addition to enabling cookies for the site you need to allow at least this site the power to disable the cursor so you can use the game's cursor to play the game. Here's how:1. Click the menu icon/the 3 horizontal lines at the upper left of your browser2. Click on 'Settings'3. Scroll down to bottom and click on 'Show advanced settings.'

At the top of advanced settings is Privacy. Click the button just beneath that says 'Content settings.' Scroll about 2/3's the way down until you see 'Mouse Cursor'6. Change this setting to 'Ask when a site tries to disable the mouse cursor (recommended)'7. Click done at the bottom right to save the changesTo be safe you may wish to restart your browserEnjoy playing.

I had the same problem with the mouse as other reviewers mentioned. I originally tried to play the game using safari, but the mouse would not move correctly. I tried using chrome and it worked! Kick the buddy forever game play online. When the game loads, it should ask you if you want to disable the mouse cursor (say yes).

This will cause the mouse to move properly during the game, although it will not let you move the mouse outside the game. If you want to move the mouse outside the game, press the esc key. Hope this helps:)Note: I did not use firefox (only chrome) so I do not know if it has the same problem as safari. Folks, you should actually Read all the comments before asking questions. One person told you there is no way to download because THERE IS NO DOWNLOAD BUTTON! She is correct. And for those who can't get it to work using Chrome, Firefox, Waterfox, Safari and so on, it works just fine - not a single glitch - on my old-fashioned PC using GC.

Bear in mind this was made in 1992, well before PS, XBOX, etc. You're attempting to cross the West in a covered wagon pulled by oxen - NOT driving your new KIA on paved roads. That's likely a pretty decent comparison. Sorry for your problems (especially for the kid who got it to work during class but not later, wah) but sometimes you have to use the correct equipment, especially on a site that's providing you with free data that is ancient in terms of technology.

That said, the original is much funner, imo. This one's waaay too easy. I'd never heard of either before today.

Guess I'm just an old geezer - but one that had no problems! Where the original 1990 version keeps you wanting to play over and over, I played this version one time (and made the top 10, but just like the 1990 version my top 10 score is not saved wtf, I earned a spot). I do not have any desire to try it again. Too bad the 1990 version is so glitchy! The deluxe edition is waaaaay too easy, and is played far to passively. You don't hardly do anything.

The game just plays itself. Congrats you made it Oregon with no effort.Go play the original version. I cannot stop playing the 1990 game for some reason. It is a shiny gem. Where as the deluxe edition is more like a dull pile of buffalo chips. If you are having troubles, you can email Jason jason@, and ask him to help you with the game if you're having issues.

It says it in the description of the original Oregon Trail game, I'm not sure why it wasn't put on here. Make sure you have all adware/popup blockers disabled, as they can cause the game to not work. These games were fairly recently put up, so they are still in the process of working out bugs.The game is exactly as I remember it! Only wish I could figure out why I keep getting two pointers in-game, but pressing escape, followed by going back to fullscreen, help. I was able to get 9911 high score, but I think you could actually increase your high score infinitely by exploiting the trading system while you are at a fort. Trade stuff at the fort for cash at a profit, then buy more at the general store and repeat the process, the forts never seem to run out of supplies.I took a year to get to the end, but I didn't lose anyone along the way. Another exploit is the resting timer.

You are never penalized for resting too much. Natives never attack, you never run out of water. As long as you have enough food you can wait as long as you want to heal up your party members. 5 days rest, then 2 days rest after that cured just about every illness. Though some illnesses took almost a month to heal.Also I decided to trade everything I own for cash at The Dalles before I went down rafting. You don't need any other items for rafting. Though I did keep some sets of clothes and a little food for role play.You get more points at the end for cash than for any other items, so I ended up with over 3200 dollars at the end of the trip by exploiting the trading system.

Mostly I sold my extra food that I got from hunting along the way to other Wagoneers and Native Americans. Since more than one person has pointed it out and STILL have gotten replies that ignore what they've said:Putting this in full screen doesn't work for everyone, for some reason. I click it, and literally nothing happens. The other buttons work, namely the one to toggle between light and dark screens. But there is NO way, for some at least, to even put it into fullscreen in the first place.

So if that does solve the problem of the cursor, great. But please stop ignoring that people have said more than once that the fullscreen toggle itself does not work. This took me back to my days in elementary school when mt class played this game for rewards. I loved it then and I like it now. There are a few issues I had at first with the mouse pointer not being in line with the windows pointer but I figured out that if you go to the fullscreen size then back to normal it will work fine in Google Chrome, at least it did for me.

I aslo had issues with the number keypad but I quickly found out to use the numbers above the letters on my keyboard and it works fine. Just like old times I got killed first time out but scored about 3400 my second try as an aonymous user so I'm liking this throw back to the late '80s.
