That's a REALLY old school version! The one I played in school was a little fancier.
7:36 PM
I remember playing this in 3rd grade...not to brag or anything but i was pretty darn good.
7:46 PM
Yea, a fancier version of this and Oregon Trail II are the pro versions I played. Did you know that you could chill with John McLoughlin, John Sutter, Marcus and Narcissa Whitman, and various other cool cats?
7:51 PM
Oh sweet! Did Narcissa's baby drown on the way?
7:54 PM
I NEVER MADE IT PAST THE FREAKIN RIVERS!
Seriously, what wusses, hypothermia!
Psh!
I can survive hypothermia. Wimps.
I can only imagine Carlisle batteling across the trail...
"I was hiking along, half way there, scaled a mountain a river and battled the lions..
but then,
A MOOSE!"
That would be your downfall. Attack by moose.
Better then hypothermia...

hey Mr. Carlisle. sorry I wasn't in class today. i wasn't feeling all that great this weekend and i guess i just caught a nasty bug. but i'm feeling a bit better now. hey would it be possible to come in like tomorrow after school for a little while. i have some things about my ia that i want to run by you to make sure i haven't screwed any major parts up. and oh. the oregon trail game! i remember playing that all the time when i was younger. i actually made it a couple of times. but there was also that amazon trail game from the same company. i always got malaria and died in that one. there was too many mosquitoes.

Alexa,
Of course you can come in after school. Make sure you read tonight.
As far as the OR Trail game, I always hunted far too much food that spoiled and died when crossing the rivers. The version I played didn't have Narcissa Whitman on it. I feel deprived.
8:04 PM
Whoa...the version I played had definitely more than 5 colors. And it was 3D. And...not this.
But this old game still seems pretty tight.
8:13 PM
Wow I feel like a loser right now... I grew up in Tennessee where half the people couldn't even tell you where Oregon was, let alone the Oregon Trail. I think I played this game once, but we didn't get enough time to make it very far.
8:43 PM
i only liked the hunting part.

9:28 PM
i feel so left out! i never played this game. i take it i'm really missing out on something almost everyone did. dang!
9:57 PM
I had never played that game either. Sad.
But in fourth grade we had wagon train teams.. And it was this massive like 3 month thing. And my team was the best because we were self managers so we got to pick our team. I think Morgan was on my team haha. And we won at the end!
It was exciting. Aw I miss fourth grade
10:11 PM
i panned for gold. we didnt have the oregon trail game... since it was california and way better... we made a play about the CALIFORNIA GOLD RUSH... it was amazing.
10:39 PM
like haglund, i also had wagon train teams in 4th grade. we had to put miniature supplies into wagons we had made and then dress up and go on a journey around the playground. so instead of plauying a game we kinda did it for "real"
