Quick Look: The Oregon Trail

Whoo!

So many memories...

It's so easy to be first now.

Giantbomb has dysentery.

Hmm... I guess I was hoping for a QL Throwback of the original

Ford the river!

You people trying to be first are fucking crazy. Know that?

It's instantaneous.

You shit yourself to death.

Here lies andy; peperony and chease

Oregon Trail and Kid Pix, son!

Damn, I was hoping it would be the classic Apple version, not the shitty DSi version.

Thumbs up if you played the original Oregon Trail!

This Quick Look gave me dysentery.

I remember everyone wanting to play Oregon Trail in school just to do the hunting parts... now we still just want to play games to shoot stuff.

Play through the original for TNT or something.

I would pay a stupid high price for a quality version for pc/360/ios/android but all we have is gamelofts bulllshit.

BRONO!!!

2nd profile is Brono. :)

What's up with all the Quick Looks?

Anybody ever play Yukon trail?

Yes 44 mins.

I'm with you on that one.

Ryan's wrong, plenty of kids younger than Patrick played Oregon Trail at their school.

Noice

This game is hilarious.

OMG it's not OR-EH-GONE

Oh man, cart load times are the best.

Oregon Trail! It was awesome, we used to name our party with friends and try to get some crazy diseases.

Oregun, Oregone, Oregun, Oregone, Oregun, Oregone, Oregun, Oregone.

I played this game so much back in the day. It sure was.. something.

I'm 20 and I played Oregon Trail in elementary school.

The Oregon Trail transcends space and time.

It's funny how much people realize that what made Oregon trail interesting wasn't the parts that were totally video games(even though that's what we all played), it was that it was hard and grueling and fuckin' terrible. You'd make it, maybe, but not without losing half your family.

Also, anyone remember Freedom? Where you were a young slave and had to escape to the north? That game was not only brutal, but... kinda shocking when you look back on it. I was running from dogs as an illiterate black slave child back on an apple II. That's nuts!

It's actually pretty open to interpretation. It kind of depends on area. Where I come from we all pronounce it OR-EH-GONE.

I actually have a shirt that says "you have died of dysentery" with an 8-bit picture of a cattle-drawn carriage.

NOTHING STOPS THE ENDURANCE TRAIL

This brings back some memories. Seventh grade classrooms. Wow.

Dat draw distance

hehe Brono? you miss them Ryan, you miss them..

Anybody ever play Yukon trail?

Look at all that brown

check out that awesome draw distance on the title screen.

also, I only played Amazon Trail

It's RDR3D

I'm 19 and Oregon Trail is a key part of my childhood. I fucking love that game, to this day. 

Vinny is Ryan's wife and Patrick and Will Smith are their kids. lol

I remember naming all of my party members in the original Oregon Trail after Power Rangers characters. Tommy always died of dysentery. =(

At first i thought "oh man, he's gonna name the little girl Jeff." Then i thought about it...and right before he started typing it in i thought "WILL SMITH!"

achewood's oregon trail arc should be required reading for anyone who has played Oregon Trail

starting here http://achewood.com/index.php?date=05132003

this version of the game, however, looks terrible

I'd like to point out despite all their best efforts. They made it to Idaho and were almost at the end.

Ryan spamming that whip is killing me. Too funny.
