Not a bad game

User Rating: 8.1 | The Oregon Trail MAC
By Canadiancowboy2 | Review Date:
Gameplay: In Oregon Trail you are on this journey to go out west and you have to go an survive and all. Along the way you have to trade with people and hunt for food to survive. Personally I found the hunting part quite fun. Other then that it was kinda boaring just sitting there just watching the wagon go along the trail which seem to take forever. This was esepcally difficalt when I was a kid playing this game, and as a kid you want to always see some action.

Graphics: Graphics are not bad accually. The 2-D drawings are accually well done and well animiated awell. But there is no color just black and white.

Sound: There is not really any sound in this game. The only sound that you will here is the little gun fire effects when you are hunting for meat.

Value: Meh it's either you love it or hate it this game. But personally I kinda liked it and played a quite a few times over the years.
I would recommend this game to add to your classic games collection.

    This game is a great idea and if it worked it could have added to the education of many a student of American history. The problem is the thing just doesn’t work. It skips, drags, locks-up and crashes. If there’s a co... Read Full Review
