One of the first PC games I've ever played, and to this day still a good memory, as well as an excellent reference joke.
That thread title scared the **** out of me :mad: :down

Everytime I'm in Independence, MO I try to find a wagon train to join, but no such luck. Bastards.

Hell yes! I love the game, every version of it. I remember playing the really old school version with big pixels on Apple computers (not Macintosh...Apple) in elementary school.

When I got my very first computer, I was able to get one game and I picked Oregon Trail. I remember rabbits were so damn hard to kill cause they'd run across the screen really quick. Normally, I'd just shoot a slow moving buffalo and that would've fed my family for weeks, but cause that bunny was moving so fast I always had to shoot it, it was taunting me. :mad:

Yeah! Damn rabbits. I remember feeling kind of bad for the virtual animals I was shooting. That prooves I've been a hippie since birth.

That was just a typo. I was talking to Jeannette about what movie we should watch, and typed Movie. Freudian Slip, as it were.

I never cared too much to pay attention to how deep the rivers were, so I had many, many, many children drown on me.:( :down

Heres a tip I remember from my elementary days maybe 4th grade, I would allways take the toll road at the end of the game so I didnt go across the rive and slam into rocks....
Its a much faster and safer way! :up:
I always finished first and got the highest score!

I loved the hell out of that game. But for me it was always:

I remember playing this in school. They tried to do a remake with better graphics but it wasn't the same.
