Game 37: The Oregon Trail

The Oregon Trail
MECC
1971

Now, i know what you’re thinking.
Oh Chach, everyone has played this game. We know all about it.
Thats where i say, you are incorrect.
Here’s what the 1971 version looked like.

and heres the version you probably played circa 1985.

Notice the difference?
Now from the start the differences are pretty easy to spot…. ya know
the colors.
Some of the other differences, Family member names. In the newer version this was a changable option. In the original not so much.

Also the difficulty level in the original was tons higher. i died in less than ten minutes the first time i played. Albeit i rushed 90 percent of it.

Chachi Says: Everyone loves being a pioneer. I prefer the color one but im visual.  Try to stay clear of Dysentery.
