- Neticule, on 06/11/2008, -0/+75LOL I remember in 3rd grade, if we got our work done early we could play Oregon Trail on the one computer in the class :P I think it may have been the first computer game I ever played :)
- seanberry, on 06/12/2008, -1/+68That's too fancy, that's not the REAL Oregon Trail.
- KMartSheriff, on 06/12/2008, -0/+48You have Died Of Dysentery.
- KMartSheriff, on 06/12/2008, -0/+42FORD THE MOTHER ***** RIVER!
And ***** that Indian who wants to help.
$5 for a safe crossing? I see right through that *****. - seanmx, on 06/12/2008, -1/+42Apple should put the green and black version out for the iPhone

Rations - Bare Bones - whoreable, on 06/12/2008, -0/+32Hunting in Oregon Trail beats any FPS put out in the past year.
- ninjasaurus, on 06/12/2008, -2/+33Number Munchers was also boss hogg.
- SevenTwo, on 06/12/2008, -1/+29Just like our Economy.
- Lugano, on 06/12/2008, -0/+26I wonder how many people will buy this purely for nostalgia
- KMartSheriff, on 06/12/2008, -0/+23Did it ever piss anyone else off that your dude could only ever carry back 100 pounds of meat when you just shot like 500 pounds worth of bison?
- bimtott, on 06/12/2008, -1/+22After a 17 year hiatus, maybe I'll FINALLY be able to shoot a bison and not make my family to death.
Oregon, here I come!! - iSamurai, on 06/12/2008, -0/+20I too was in 3rd grade and had the same experience. By 5th grade we had Amazon Trail, and Klondike(?) Trail (Alaska+Gold). I spent hours playing these games as a kid and actually learned some stuff out of it :)
First computer game I played I think was "Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego" on MS-DOS :P - rig0rmortis, on 06/12/2008, -0/+20I think I just got dysentery from reading this news.
- sexybobo, on 06/12/2008, -0/+19you have shot 10000 pounds of meat you were only able to carry back 100 pounds
- idavidtang, on 06/12/2008, -0/+18Shooting down animals was the only vivid thing I remember from that game.
- Gimpishi, on 06/12/2008, -1/+19I wonder how many people will die of dysentery.
- inactive, on 06/12/2008, -4/+16You have died of fail.
Bring the apple ii version back or don't bring it at all. - aserer511, on 06/12/2008, -0/+12"Your axle broke. Text 555 (standard axle fees apply) to buy a new one."
- bimtott, on 06/12/2008, -0/+12I remember that the game speed back then was tied to the CPU clock. My dad and I ported it to a 386 and the oxen would just fly across the screen. It took much, much less time to die of dysentery.
- brstilson, on 06/12/2008, -1/+12No Battle Chess?
- KMartSheriff, on 06/12/2008, -0/+11I always loved starting a new game, and buying only enough for myself (1 set of clothes, for me of course). I'd promptly kill off all my other family members by a constant grueling pace with little rations. God that game rocks.
- sexybobo, on 06/12/2008, -0/+11that was custer's revenge
- lpmiller, on 06/12/2008, -2/+13Real men played OT on a paper terminal at 120 baud tied to the U of M's mainframe. You haven't lived till you tried to type out "P-O-W" during a bison hunt, only to have the coupler modem crap out on you. And taking the reams of paper home to show your mom how well you played? PRICELESS.
- travis6690, on 06/12/2008, -0/+11Obligatory Oregon Trail comment burier, buried.
- ghostrc, on 06/12/2008, -0/+10Our teacher didn't want us too spend the whole time hunting
- inactive, on 06/12/2008, -0/+10I would buy it for that reason, alone. The original monochrome version was the best one ever.
- beelz, on 06/12/2008, -0/+9http://www.virtualapple.org/oregontraildisk.html
- phorty40, on 06/12/2008, -0/+9`What no floppy disk?
Clearly this is unauthentic. - J16T3CH, on 06/12/2008, -0/+8Here lies Johnny
He Farted - sexybobo, on 06/12/2008, -0/+8i wonder how many people named But or Idiot will die of dysentery.
Ah 3rd grade when you thought but was a cuss word. - santaliqueur, on 06/12/2008, -1/+8Thank you for giving an example of what Oregon Trail is better than.
- m0tbaillie, on 06/12/2008, -0/+7Your oxen tried to forward the river, but failed.
You lost 2 oxen in the attempt. - seanmx, on 06/12/2008, -0/+6seriously. I mean, the first thing I do when I get on that game is make sure I have enough ammo to hunt like, every 5 min.
- bimtott, on 06/12/2008, -1/+7*make my family STARVE to death
- spwpi10, on 06/12/2008, -0/+6Everyone did. I played the game tons of times, lost the same way every time. I had hundreds of pounds of buffalo meat and no water, medicine, clothes, or anything else really.
- hansonc, on 06/12/2008, -0/+6Oh fourth grade where sexybobo still can't spell "butt".
- psi0nicgh0st, on 06/12/2008, -0/+6I elementary school we used to name the characters after our evil teachers and hope they'd die of dysentery!, lol
- StandardsDT, on 06/12/2008, -0/+6Dynopark Tycoon was the *****. My friends and I had competitions on trying to build the best park. However in the end, the dinosaurs broke out of their cages and destroyed our parks.
- KMartSheriff, on 06/12/2008, -0/+6Glorious.
- SpectralSounds, on 06/12/2008, -0/+5I remember always picking the banker so I could buy the most ***** before I left.
- dubbaj, on 06/12/2008, -0/+5Well, they made a 1D version. I'll sell it to you.
_____
There you go, $5 please. - LegendaryHitman, on 06/12/2008, -0/+5Number Munchers!! Classic! Those two games were third grade heaven...
- PabloMac, on 06/12/2008, -0/+5Two words:
Unnecessary profanity - axis, on 06/12/2008, -0/+4I concur. What is this color and 2D.
- jawagas, on 06/12/2008, -0/+43rd grade is about right. Man I used to love just taking my wagons out, do some hunting, click the food button, crossing rivers. This made my childhood.
- fr3ddie, on 06/12/2008, -0/+4just now putting it on a cellphone?... wtf?.... back in the day, oregon trail fit on one or two 5 inch floppies... whats that like 100k?
- Cglass, on 06/12/2008, -1/+5hahaha yea those were the days, I remember I used to hunt waaaaaayyyyyyy too much =)
