Old school fun

User Rating: 7.5 | The Oregon Trail MAC
Even though it's an old game that most of us haven't played since back on the apple when we were in Elementary school, I just thought I'd speak on it.

I can't complain, this game had me from "enter your name". The first time the teacher handed me this, I never wanted to stop. It's an addicting game.

What you do is, you choose between a few occupations(The difficulty is choosing one of the poorer class people, because your amount of money depends on your job), and then start your journey. The point of the game is to get from point A to point B, in a healthy condition. After you choose your occupation, and enter five names for your character and your team, you'll purchase items you think you'll need to get to point B. During the great distance that is traveled you can choose how much your characters eat, how hard you want to ride, if you want to rest, or even to hunt for food. The downside is, you can get a numerous amount of illnesses, and your characters can die. The healthier you are at the end of the trail, the higher the score.

This game isn't very hard, by any means. It won't take anyone that long to play, and don't expect good graphics because it's basic stuff. This was an elementary school game. I'd recommend this for the younger crowd, and maybe the older ladies and gents 18 and over to see if they still got it in them to beat The Oregon Trail.
