 A Classroom Favorite October 18, 2002

My third graders study the Oregon Trail every year and enjoy playing this game. It is educational and exciting! Kids take a small party on a covered wagon trip from Independence, Missouri to Oregon. First, they buy everything they need, from oxen to bullets. They must provide their own food along the way (by hunting, trading, or buying at a fort) and are often faced with illness and even death. If someone does die, you can write their tombstone, and maybe see it on your next trip!This game turns textbook learning into reality. It is hard to make it all the way to Oregon (Hint: it goes faster if you have a lot of oxen). But along the way, you will learn to take care of your party and to appreciate things like good water and good weather. I happily recommend this game to kids age 8-10.
A Really Great Game May 6, 2001
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
This game really amazed me as a ten year old. I liked every single part of it! I especialy liked hunting and fishing(gathering isn't so fun). I don't want to make you think this game is perfect because it isn't. It freezes the computer and then(unless you saved)you have to start over. It is better than the third edition because it actually shows the path your going in and what kind of weather it is. On the third edition it just showed a map and a read line to mark your path. It also shows the food and water supply just right on the main screen. This is a really great game!

I have never used the previous versions of Oregon Trail. After reading so many negative reviews I feel I have to speak up. I am a 3rd grade teacher and I can say in a few simple words that my students love this game. It helps them think and make decisions. We have 20 copies of this game in a computer lab and none have had technical difficulties.
