Oregon Trail: Interference Edition

omg, this thread ...

I just played it on my own for TWO hours and we died about 150 miles from the Finish.
Next time I'm starting at the brink of winter so I won't have to deal with the clothes issue.

This is worse than the bubble game. I can't believe they made us play this in class.

They made you play this in class too?! We played Oregon Trail, Storybook Weaver (not that it was a game, but anyway) and Sim Town. Ah, fifth grade.

I hope I die next. Dysentry isn't fun.

 

[Tiger Edge]

You guys played Sim Town!? Lucky.

I played Oregon Trail around 1992, 1993 on our donated Apple computers at school. I barely remembered anything about the content of the game except that I died a lot.
I think last night was the first time I ever won, actually.
Computers

feeling old - never heard of this game til this week

 

[Tiger Edge]

You can join all the kids that are under 17 in this sentiment then...

another day without completion and i'll start my own oregon trail mission thread

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Holy crap I feel old.

How come we never get computer time like this at work? I used to love computer time at school.


Oh, wait, some of us do.

I'm 29!

the game is kind of old in that sense, since i first played it on old apple computers back in the mid 80's.

 

[kellyahern]

I played it at school too. Pretty dark game for elementary school .

 

[Utoo]

It's amazing how it seems like every school in the 80s had the same exact Apple II computer!

We had a Tandy 1000 at home for years until it blew up. Ahhhh, when floppy discs were indeed floppy.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

okay... i have a deadline of 10am EST tommorow... if there is no progress, i start an oregon trail of my own

 

[U2MaNaIcWeIdO]

Man....I remember playing this game in either my library or grade school! I don't remember if I died or not...but I do remember it was a fun game when I was kid

We didn't have computers in schools in the old days

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Unless, he's setting it up right now...

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

and so the journey begins...

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

we've come to our first decision... shall we ford the river? or how 'bout a little caulk action?

 

[waynetravis]

ford it

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

ford it

thanks alot... now we're all naked... and wet

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Ford that sucker.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Ford that sucker.

 

[kellyahern]

thanks alot... now we're all naked... and wet

An oxen massacre .

Why couldn't it have been Fake Edge who drowned?

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

whew... now only zoney's naked

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

sometimes it's best left not knowing the answers

 

[Tiger Edge]

Everytime I ford the first river it fails. You have to caulk the boat the first time around. Or take a ferry, but that takes 6 days or something.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Hey, if I was on that trail right now guess who else would be naked and wet?

Oops, now you've all got clothes 'cept zoner. Watch out for that boner.
