The Oregon Trail

So yesterday I found the Oregon Trail CD that Lauren brought when she moved here and never told me about. Yes, I'm talking about "the" Oregon Trail game that never ceased to amaze and entertain all kids that were in grade school at the same time as I. Although it is a little more recent edition than the one I remember it is still awesome.
Older Version



Newer Version


Mac Version - NOT AS COOL




The upgrades between the two systems are quite nice and include:
1.) Map to show your progress
2.) Improved graphics
3.) The ability to change pace, allowing for faster trips across the country
5.) An improved control interface to make the game easier and more straight forward to play
6.) There is no 4.)

The older version did have a much better hunting feature though where you could move around instead of just aiming. See Below:

New Version:

This is a great game and I think you should revert back to your grade school - middle school days and indulge in one or two games of the great adventure across the country.

The older version of OT can be downloaded here, in case you want to practice up:

Oh Yeah, Happy Easter!!!
