flip to 2nd disc at the bottom...

AWESOME!!!

Totally just beat it, have all 5 family members in poor health, 500 bucks and 5 oxen left. Alright!

Yeah...but what are the family memebers' names? That was always half the fun when you left a gravestone with some whacky name on it.

um... their names? um... too dirty for the office...

i totally downloaded oregon trail 2 a couple years ago. tons of fun. just dont ford that 20ft deep river. you'll die every time....

YES!!! Damn. I thought I was the only one who remembered that E36 M3. Awesome.

I thought this would be one of those threads that I misinterpreted the title again and it wouldn't be about the best game ever. I was happily proven wrong.

Does anyone know how to change to disk2? I'm on a roll and it won't let me change.

never mind. I got it. Didn't have keyboard focus or something

I used to play this every morning at school. (4th grade)

time to look for the later version, where you hunt with the mouse and better grafics

HOLY FLASHBACK BATMAN!!!!!!

Portland, Or radio host Rick Emerson's interview with the creator of Oregon Trail is in this podcast: (should pop new window) nevermind, didnt work

well, im pretty horrible at that game! i had the 3 stooges and starsky and hutch in my wagon. in the end Starsky was the only one alive in poor health, $0.30 in the bank, 1 ox, no cloths, 1 spare wagon part, 5 bullets and 4lbs of food (huntings harder than i remember...) oh well, i made it anyways

That's not being bad at it though, that's just efficiency. Sure some may show up to the end having wasted energy carrying unnecessary goods but you used the entirety of your resources, including man power to achieve your goal. That's how winners play.

The three stooges and Starsky & Hutch get out of their wagon and walk into a bar............

Wow. Thanks for posting this.

Woot!~ Made it with all 5 in fair health, 1 each wagon parts, food, bullets, 9 sets of clothing..... 6306! 2nd on the top 10 list. Haha. FTW.

The Feds show up and demand to know where the Stooges got a bag of heroin on the Oregon Trail.
