It's really a repeat of Oregon Trail II 
2008-04-05
It's just Oregon Trail II + a few additional movies that you'll tire of after the first viewing and fishing and gathering options (the same ones you get from Oregon Trail III). It's been a long time since the game has been released though, so you'd probably be advised to get whatever's cheaper. But if you've played Oregon Trail II before, don't expect anything new.
Oregon Trail Computer Game 
2007-12-31
As a former Oregon teacher, I used this game many times over the years. It was so much fun for the students, they didn't realize that they were gaining critical thinking skills and learning about pioneer life.
Now I have given it to my grandchildren and they are enjoying the challenge of getting to the end of the trail. My 10 yr. old granddaughter just called to tell me she was doing great buying supplies until she realized she had no money left to buy oxen to pull the wagon! The fun continues!

I find this to be a great educational game for children and well as older people. It provides a simulation of what life was like in search of land on the west side of the Mississippi River. I recommend this as both an educational game and allows you to plan strategically.
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!

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.

This best-seller is loved by kids and teachers alike!
Builds real-life decision-making and problem-solving skills. Kids get to choose his/her own wagon party, read maps, and guide their team through the wilderness!
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.
Fun!! 2007-06-08
I remember playing this game in school!! I loved it then and the newer, interactive version is very nice too.
Not very happy 
2007-05-06
I was really dissapointed with this game. I bought it because I have a niece who is 10, and I thought that buying her this would give her hours of fun. It is nothing like the original. I was very bored with it, and so was she.
