Trailheads: The Oregon Trail’s Origins Documentary #Gamer #VintageGaming #History
Playing Oregon Trail in school felt like you were getting away with some world class mischief. It has been a universal experience for decades and now there is an overdue documentary.
The MinnMaxShow on YouTube dives into the history of this game that taught us all about the dangers of Dysentery. Via GameSpot:
You’ve almost certainly played some version of The Oregon Trail if you live in the United States, as it has been a staple in schools for years and dates back in one form or another to 1971. It gained particular popularity on the Apple II computer and you can even get a handheld version that resembles that computer. It’s the full version of the game, too, with hunting and other mini-games left intact. Be careful, or you’ll die of dysentary.
