Oregon Trail

[Jaymes]

I mentioned Oregon Trail in the game system thread, and AL mentioned she liked it as well, so..

Tada! You can play Oregon Trail online. I have spent many an hour playing this after finding the link, so be warned... it is addictive. As a note to Firefox/Opera users, this only works in IE.

:woohoo: I love you jensa! I would frubal you if I could!

I didn't have a computer when this came out, so I was always wanting to camp out at my cousin's place to play this! If I can just eat cereal for the entire day, my childhood dream will be complete!

I started.....I did, honest - but I am too impatient.

Alternatively you can play it without either

I found a t-shirt online once that had a picture of a covered wagon, and simply read, "You have died of dysentery"

It reminded me of 4th grade.

Man, that game was awesome when I was little! I eventually got Oregon Trail 3, and that was cool too. :jiggy:

I got on the site, but I went on the other things since I am stuck on dialup.

 

[Jaymes]

I'm on dialup as well, but it only took a few minutes to load. Patience!

I love you Jensa!!! Good thing I don't live near you, or I'd go and hug you to death.

Wish me luck! I'm opening up IE and diving in! *grin*

I left town in May, as a farmer. (My love for "Harvest Moon" affects different games! Scary, that!) Someone's already died, and two other people have cholera. My food has run out, too. So sad!

I went with an Ayn Rand theme.

Poor Dominique died, but I still got a score of 1834! Yay!

awesome game. i got 6303 points not sure if that is good or not, but i did not die, so that must count for something.
i was a farmer, so i got triple points

I can't wait to start playing this after work tonight! I thought you had to grow up in Oregon or Washington for this to have been popular - guess I was wrong.

 

[Feathers in Hair]

After failing so miserably last night, I think I'll try again tonight as a banker. (I don't care about the points so much as getting to the destination safely.)

I name one of the people after my mom. I IMed my brother to tell him I was playing the game. A few minutes (maybe 10) later I IMed with "Mom broke her arm." He was like, "What?! " He forgot I was playing that game. :biglaugh:

 

[Jaymes]

I like naming them after some of my friends and randomly IMing them and telling them they have dysentery or exhaustion. :biglaugh:

 

[Feathers in Hair]

"Did you know you had cholera?"

"Oops, I'm sorry, Michael. My poor planning just caused you to starve to death. My bad!"

(Er... I'm finding it a bit scary that all of my characters seem to be coming from "Lost". I'm just hoping the team won't get attacked by a monster.)
