Hi Dark,
That's cool. The only version of Oregon Trail that I have played was a GW
Basic version. Seems though that it is a very stripped down version. I was
told that it is nothing like the original Apple 2e version.
Yes, the original GW Basic version of the golf game had only 3 courses to play.
I added 3 and saw that the courses themselves only took a few numbers and
descriptions to define them, so I then made the golf course maker program so
that others could also make courses for the game. The original golf game was
pure text with no sounds. And you typed in the amount of power to hit for your
shot. So I added all of the sounds including the power indicator sound thing.
However the original did have some ASCII graphics that were pretty cool. I
stripped those out though as they would some times try to be spoken by a screen
reader. The trucker game was also pure text with no sounds at all.
I would love to make a Roller Coaster Tycoon type sim, but I am not sure that
it wouldn't be over my head to try something like that. I really have never
programmed a sim. Maybe I should start out trying a simple one and see how
that goes.

The last sound that it made was "Zap" .
