BILL has cholera.
Short game means short review.
The Oregon Trail starts you off by selecting you and your partners names, also the wagon party name. After you typed in your names the next part is choosing which career you had, from being a Banker to a Saddlemaker. Each career has a helpful trait, or none at all. As example a Banker would start with riches and the Saddlemaker could repair wheel axles and all that on your journey. Then you buy your items you need for your trail such as clothes for trading or bullets for hunting. The Banker can buy everything to the max number because Bankers are pimps, haven't you heard?
Anyways when you start you see your wagon progressing and taskbars on both side. The Oregon Trail was loads of fun, I only played it when my brother did because at this time I didn't know how to run games in DOS. I loved the hunting mini game, those ducks are hard to hit! I didn't read/care about the historical lesson spokem in this game because it was all boring. Mainly just watching "One of the oxen is injured" or thieves stealing my oxen we exciting! Did I say the hunting was superb too?
During the addicted state of mind I would give this game FOUR STARS. Not five because it ended too quickly, UNLESS you play as a TEACHER and get no benefits while traveling through DECEMBER! That's hardcore.
PEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOW! Punch kick to the face! FOUR STARS!
