You have died from dysentery [View all]

The Oregon Trail was an educational and strategy computer game that I got the chance to play in junior high.


Players start in Missouri, a Midwestern state that marked the beginning of the American frontier in the early 19th Century. You select travel companions and choose supplies before facing obstacles on the trail, including broken wagon wheels, weather, snake bites and more. Activities along the way keep things interesting, including a hunting mini-game and managing the health of the party.


It wasn't an easy game to play either. I died from dysentery plenty of times. I believe that last time that I played as an adult and I drowned crossing a hardcore river in my covered wagon.







I think I'm going to play the game tomorrow morning after my house-keeping patrol duties are completed.
