Description of The Oregon Trail

There are few video games more fondly remembered than the Oregon Trail. It has inspired countless gamers and spawned countless memes. Still, it is hard to say how much of the fondness gamers feel towards this storied title is due to the fact that Oregon Trail was literally the first (and in some cases, the only) video game many children played. Much of its exposure came in classrooms, due to its educational nature.

By the standards of the time in which the 1990 “Classic Edition” was released, much less those of today, there's very little actual substance to Oregon Trail, and many will find it either tiresomely repetitive or only good for a brief jaunt down nostalgia lane.

Gameplay in the older versions of Oregon Trail consists mostly of hunting every day to make the most of your food supply (a minigame where you shoot at a variety of game) and waiting for your party to reach the next landmark.

Later versions, including the 1992 Oregon Trail Deluxe and the 1995 Oregon Trail II offer vast improvements on both graphics and gameplay. In fact, many adults in their 30s today are far more likely to have grown up on either of those than the variants of the Ur Oregon Trail.

Still, this remains an artifact for the curious. While this is a step up from the days of having to type “Bang” and “Pow” to shoot game in the earliest versions, a quick play of Oregon Trail: Classic Edition will show kids (and many adults) how lucky they've had it compared to Generation X, who had to walk to school through snow, uphill both ways, to get to their vidya.

Bear Vs. Salmon, you can convert one of the mainframe versions, they're pretty small and entirely in BASIC. Otherwise this is almost identical: http://www.atariarchives.org/bca/Chapter02_WestwardHo.php

I remember playing the Classic Oregon Trail on IBM Networking computers as a kid.. That and Primary Editor Plus, Where in the World/USA is Carmen Sandiego, and other 'Educational' classics.. Talk about Nostalgia..

It's a shame. 'Pg' is using an online platform (likely with a decent device) to ban a generation about their access to technology.
I am a millennial. I remember playing in school. That's why I am on this page in the first place. Just kind of food for thought to those predisposed do decide others morals based on age. At least last millennials are discriminatory by a LARGE margin. But that's numbers not opinion.
I'm glad to see this on here so I can reminisce the days when nothing could go wrong.

I remember playing this game back in 1990 while I was in the sixth grade. I used to love going to the computer lab with my class each week, just so we could play The Oregon Trail on those Old School Apple computers. Each of us were so enthralled by the game, it was the only time that an instructor didn't have to tell us to be quiet. Kids today (Millenials) will never understand how fun and educational The Oregon Trail was for our generation. Sadly, the main reasons they use computers is to connect on Social Media (which has led to Cyber Bullying),
Hacking/Stealing personal information, and other nonsense. Only Xennials can comprehend how Awesome this game is, was and always will be! We grew up during a time when life was simple, and technology had not overstepped it's boundaries by consuming the entire world, and turning everyone into illiterate zombies that can't function without an Iphone in their hand.

Paperbrain2017-03-104 points

Every public school in America had a copy of this back in the day, even the tiny school in rural Idaho I grew up in. Many younger people might find it boring, and wonder what we see in it. In all honesty, with the nostalgia glasses off it might not seem like much, but dagnabit yunguns it was fun!

Lord_Xarti2015-04-09-3 points DOS version

Why are you all using JUST DOSbox? Use the far superior LaunchBox *(Which includes DOSbox and many more emulators) that does a lot of this behind the scenes work for you? I got the newest version *(4.6 as of this typing) and it works like a dream for me.

Windows 7? You'll need DOSBox to run any DOS-based games on Windows 7. That, or find an old 286/386.

Kronick2014-07-271 point DOS version

WoW !!! I was in 6th/7th grade when this game came out been looking for a few yrs for a copy. Always loved coming upon a river and deciding how to handle it. A lot of times would forge the rivers but not always the wise way to go. Current would usually tip you over and cost you supplies. LOL Oh well..

Why is this game harder than I remember and how come I can't use my machete :'D

bob2018-08-010 point

please i just want to play amazon trail i have lost everything

gotthavok2018-06-270 point Mac version

.sit files are the zip files of the older (mid-90s-early 00s) mac OSs, you need an emulator to unzip and play within it, i suggest SheepShaver

KevDog152015-11-07-2 points

Remember play'n this as a kid at the school's computer lab ALOT! Just wonder'n, I have a Windows 7 operating system.. Does this game run on it OK?

jesse2015-06-170 point Mac version

I opened the sit file with the program 'The Unarchiver' but couldn't find out what to do with the img file after that. I don't know what program to use to mount it. I just downloaded the version for DOS instead.

SQUARE2015-05-190 point Mac version

I am having problems because the game is compressed as a .sit file. Can't find a way to open it

Hey :) Is there any chance I can play this on an iPad? I managed to download it using a zip app but I'm not sure how to actually open the game (if it's possible). Thanks :)

Too bad this one doesn't have the voices

fffffffffff2014-01-17-1 point DOS version

i just realised that we actually do travel in time in the game. that's why the people tell different dates

J.2014-01-060 point DOS version

Yes, Dan, my bad.

Dan2013-08-134 points DOS version

I have the CD version, and it ran with full functionality in Win 95 & 98. I lost sound & some game functions in XP. Even if you run it successfully without an emulator, the river and fishing modes will run too fast on a modern system. My preferred method is to run Win 3.1 inside DOSbox and play it there. That solves all sound and speed issues. You can also run Win 95 or 98 as a virtual machine inside Windows 7/8/Vista, or even on a Mac, at a reduced speed.
@Fred: This is actually the first edition of Amazon Trail. The second was actually an early-release version of the third.

@ Fred2013-05-010 point DOS version

The version you're thinking of is Amazon Trail: 3rd Edition. The version they have on here is the 2nd Edition.

I remember this game having voice-overs. is there a link to a download that has the voice-overs in them?

EvLo2011-11-180 point DOS version

guys just follow the below instructions

Deadbolt_Don2011-10-310 point DOS version

there's no need to give up so easily. There are plenty of tutorials for DOSbox online that I've found very helpful. It's really not that hard.

gringo2011-10-190 point DOS version

if you don't know how to run this game, then it's not the game you would like to play.do you know what does the 320*240 resolution look like? do you know anything about DOS?
if all answers are no, then get back to your console dude !

DOSKING2011-07-310 point DOS version

Use DOSBOX to play these games, people. Will not work without..

legendman32011-02-200 point DOS version

Its 64 bit and just use dosbox to play these games :/ I use that and its just fine

Jordan2011-02-100 point DOS version

For all those having trouble playing these games, scroll to the bottom of this page! Follow one of the links under 'How to play abandonwares.' You have to install a program called D-Fend Reloaded; there is a step by step guide provided by this website for where you should extract the .zip files so that you can play them. I'm on x64 Windows 7 and The Oregon Trail works excellently! :D
