 Oregon Trail Review, 2007-08-23
This game definitely brought back memories for me. I remember playing this game in 5th grade! Though I would prefer the original version with the Apple Computer, this game holds up its name. The graphics are a lot better and it's interesting to see the characters talk and give advice. I'm glad I got myself a copy again. All my friends were excited and wanted to play it too!
nostalgic fun, 2007-07-21
Excellent game. It does not have state of the art graphics, but they are not needed to enjoy the trail. Good game for all ages.

 Does NOT run on XP, 2007-07-15
I should have paid more mind to the folks who had trouble running it. In spite of the seller's claim, this game will not run reliably on XP. This was a waste of our time and money.

 Accurate and Fun, 2007-06-17
I have Windows XP and the game downloaded fine on my computer.
This game is very accurate. It does a great job of gently reflecting the racism during the time. But by no means does it encourage racism! It mentions people buying their way out of slavery, the California Gold Rush, etc. It even has the Chinese building the transcontinental railroad! All these details show that the people who developed this game really knew their history.
The game also gave great realistic information for anyone who wanted to survive the Oregon trail. The player can learn about the variety of animals to pull a wagon, how to cross a river, about different species of fish and plants, etc.
The game was a lot of fun. But it was actually pretty short. The increase in features from older versions may have led to decrease in playing time.
I would definitely recommend for any parent to buy this for his/her kid.

I remember playing this game in school!! I loved it then and the newer, interactive version is very nice too.
