Interestingly enough, the first time I played the oregon trail, it was
when I was working at a summer camp in New Jersey for the blind and
visually impaired as a computer instructor. I beat the game with very
little play time, and never bothered with it again. This was back in
the early 90s. I honestly don't see what all the hype is about, but I
know sometimes folks really like an old game because of having fond
memories of playing it, but for me, it was nothing special, and was
easily beat, so I don't have fond memories of anything. I have hunted
around for versions of oregon trail, but I haven't found anything I'd
consider useful or playable on the pc. I'd even settle for the original
apple II source code, as I could port that to windows easily enough, but
I come up empty every time I look for an accessible version playable on
the pc.
Now, to be clear, I have no desire to play the game myself, I was just
figuring if I could come across a version that could be adapted to run
on the pc that had all the original bits in it, I'd take a stab at said
conversion, but no such luck.
