What do you mean my oxen died?!?


So I have started blogging about my gaming adventures. What a better way to start then to write about my favorite game when I was an elementray student, Oregon Trail. If you were somewhere under a rock during the 80's/early 90's, Oregon Trail is a game of choices and I would say an early simulation game because the choices you make have future impacts. The goal of the game is to make it to Oregon and we decided we you are and you is going to be in your wagon party.


There are twists and turns, died oxen, hunting trips, and broken wagon axles along the way. Sometimes a wagon party member may die due to snake bite or worse...dysentary.


The game is primative in graphics and it is okay and preferred that way. It is awesome to be able to play Oregon Trail online because you get to be a kid again and relive the joy of making it to Oregon or the agony of dieing of typhid fever half way through the mountains.,
