It's Back

One of my all-time favorite pasttimes as a kid: Oregon Trail.  It was actually produced by the Government of Minnesota.  My friends and I played it over and over.

So imagine my excitement when I found it online.  All you need are the "disks" and an Apple IIe emulator.  Here they are (look near the bottom of the page).

Funny how quickly all the old skills came back.  My first try, I had trouble crossing rivers and everyone drowned.  By my second attempt, I made it all the way with perfect health . . . and a final score of 7887.  that's better than Stephen Meek.  Beat that.

Update: Found the deluxe version.  Much better graphics, more interesting gameplay.  Grab it here.  First time up the trail got over 9200.  First place again, baby.
