    Oregon Trail

    Posted by Gene in Random Stuff

    Oregon TrailI don’t know how many of you remember the Oregon Trail game back from middle school (I know that dates me…) but I came across these great sites recently that sent me into a fit of nostalgia.

    Although its efforts are largely forgotten today, MECC (the makers of Oregon Trail) was perhaps one of the most influential and important organizations in the field of educational computing to have ever operated. It was also more successful and had a much larger impact than earlier projects and initiatives to improve education and increase the awareness of computers in education.

    I just remember playing this game for as long as I could during english class, doesn’t say much for my school I know, but fond memories of dysentery and bandit raids still linger…

      Ok, so I played that game too. It was frustrating! No matter what you did, someone was bit by a snake and an axle had to break at some point. I’m still mad at that game as you can see.
