I played the original today, after a solid half hour of trying to find it online.
It isn't nearly as cool as I remember

I tried to ford it, but some people drowned. Then, I got cholera. Then, the rest died of fevers.

Yeah, it's a nostalgic gem though. That was back in the day when we gave our shop-rite reciepts to the school so they could buy Mac's cheap

lol you reminded me of it, and man was it some fun shit. It was hard to get a seat for a computer with that software back in high school. It was oddly enjoyable untill all the new gnerations came out.

Friends and I got stoned and for some reason got nostalgic about the game. We popped it in, installed quickly, and played a game with everyone's name as people in the party. It was ridiculously fun.

Duke Nukem 1, 2, and finally 3D for the win!  It's remarkable I made it through Jr. High what with how much I played that game 
Used to play over the telephone modem with friends, or over the null modem at my very rich friend's house who had more than one 486 ... networked! 
Then about a year later I found one of the first "lan centers" in Los Angeles where we played Duke 3D with more than two people, as well as Shadow Warrior. The place was called MATRIX (long before the movies made their debut).
Can't forget about the Total Entertainment Network either!

Hehe. Actually it doesn't always for me anymore. At that time I credit much of my euphoria to Oregon Trail rather than the weed

Did anyone actualy 'make it'?
I mean i didnt know much english back then, but it seems as soon as you left town you got some kind of disease. Then your whole family just sorta died off from other stupid shit, a week into the trip.

....still.....i played every time.

Thanks 
Yeah, the best part is hunting. "You shot 1200 lbs of meat, but you can only carry 100 lbs back to the wagon." That always pissed me off. Drive the fucking wagon TO THE MEAT.

I guess it wasn't really a game. The teacher would give you a book of codes to enter and the turtle would draw different shapes, this was years before oregon trail. How do you play that file with the emulator, do you have to first burn the bin files to a cd as an image?

Nah, the emulator plays the bin's (theres 2 of them) -- I couldn't believe that it said to "Flip disk over" in the middle of the game I haven't seen that message in ages.
Install the emulator, and it will recognize the bins as being associated with AppleWin. It should, anyway..

Most definitely. This was my first "formal" introduction to the computer as well. I still have a printout from early elementary school of a pattern I created in Turtle.

Great game. At my elementary school, we actually had a rip-off of that where you were a black slave trying to escape your landowners. You would have to hide in trees, and cover your trail with pepper to ward off the dogs. I completely forgot about that game until now.

Okay, I just spent the last hour trying to find more information on the game with no luck. Anyone good at looking things up? Some tidbits I remember are getting cheese from an old man, looking for moss on the trees to see which direction you are going, using pepper to ward off dogs, and sleeping in caves. I think it is done in "real-time" if that helps.

Has tons of old games, you could look around there. I would suggest the Strategy games section because that's where Oregon Trail is...
