I've never had a modern version of Oregon Trail. I do, however, still have
it on an old Apple II diskette. Of course, running it would require a real
Apple II or an emulator, both of which I have.
It's funny how games of that day worked. It was a text-based game,
using all text input. And yet, I'm sure, at the times when you shot
something, they wanted there to be at least a little challenge. So what they
did was to have you type in a word that sounded like a gun firing. The four
words I've been asked to type are bang, blam, wham, and pow. Supposedly, the
faster you type the randomly chosen word and hit return, the better your
chances of actually hitting your target. Of course if, in your hurry to type
the correct word, you should make a typo, I'm sure the shot misses.

What happened to freedom Oregon Trails?
Is there a blind friendly version of the classic game oregon trails out

It sure would come alive with sound effects from today.
Would there be a windows version of the game?
