AMERICAN Pre-Occupation With Oregon Trail Deluxe ...!!! We have quite a laugh at you CHAPS here across THE POND, how you pat each other on the back at every opportunity!! ... I was Captain of the infamous OXFORD UNIVERSITY FENCING TEAM! A gentleman′s sport which takes brains as well as brawn. I was Lightweight Amateur Champion that year. Unfortunately, while on a book signing tour I injured my wrist and was unable to continue or pursue a professional career. I subsequently entered the NOTTINGHAM CUP Rose GARDENING Championships and placed second, which was quite the coup for a novice. If any of you are ever lucky enough to take a guided bus tour of OXFORD UNIVERSITY, go to the GREAT HALL and look up my vast accomplishments. My award winning roses still adorn the entrance way. I was able to parlay my Fencing fame into my current Asst. Managerial position in one of the finest men′s clothing stores in all of London. I will also have you know that i give PRUNING SEMINARS in the English countryside on weekends. Goes to show you Yankee WAGS, hard work and perseverance (and picking up a book once in awhile) do indeed pay off then!

*REVIEW*
My experiences with the variety of versions The Oregon Trail have always been relatively positive. You can finish a playthrough in about 30 minutes and there’s enough variety in here to try a few different approaches. It’s also packed with a load of information about the real life trail and the various stops you encounter – not that I bothered reading any of it. If any of you try it and make the trip without losing a single person, then bravo! Send me a screenshot in the comments so I can award you with a fictional trophy.

Man, I loved this game as a kid and now that I′m 27 I still love playing it.
Wow! This copy runs great on my Galaxy S8 + TurboDOSBox app!!! Just use your finger for the mouse!
First computer game I ever played. 1989 in fourth grade on the old Apple. Later on in 1991 I mastered it on the Macintosh. First computer I ever played with a mouse.
Still own the CD-ROM for this game! None of the remakes are nearly as great as the good ol′ DOS version.
i actually used to play this game ALL THE TIME. Sometimes i would actually see how fast i could kill all of me characters… lols good times!!!
Lol, used to play this in school. Was this, a cross-country trucking game (forget name) or "Where in the World is Carmen San Diago?"
I would always lose in this game as soon as I tried crossing rivers, my guys always seemed to fail. Thanks for this!
If anyone has trouble opening the game, I think it′s because you need to download DOSBox and run it through that program. Hope this helps.
🙂
Playing this game = NOSTALGIA OVERLOAD!
I didn′t even know an online version of this game existed! Thank you so much!
I downloaded this and it wont let me open it. I read the abandonware guide to no help at all. Eventually, after no avail i have given up. I was going to try out this game because of all the chatter in my history class but it seems that shall not be happening.
I get so anxious on river crossings but that is soon overtaken by a huge sense of nostalgia and some great memories from back in the day
I downloaded this and was about to play but then I died of dysentery. 10/10
Every day during the summer, we′d bike over to the library and play this game for hours. haha, most excellent.
This game is epic in so many ways. I simply DL and ran in DOSBOX to make sure it works and here I am still sitting at the Rest Stop trying to make it all the way hahaha.
These damn kids not knowin′ the true way of the west. Not sittin′ somewhere doin′ this, no, you survive, fearin′ for your life. I don′t know how ANY of ya are alive…
Also you can use boxer its way easier to set up with and way more reliable then dosbox
II really like to play the organ trail it is so fun.! I love the Oregon Trail because it is in color!also se they half to be really good game. I flush? If you want to get the game get it now! !!!!!!!!! $$
For people wondering how to set it up, use DosBox
Mount the extracted download to a drive in dosbox (mount )
Then type :
Then type setup, once that runs and closes type oregon.exe
This game is amazing for something in 1992. And you make every choice.
Love it.
I could never beat this game…
Then you better git gud, scrub!
Tried to download this and it′s not compatible wit 64bit 🙁 I′ve been dying to play this again. – same issue
Tried to download this and it′s not compatible wit 64bit 🙁 I′ve been dying to play this again.
When i try to play with dosbox, it doesn′t work because it doesnt have an exe file attached. How did you guys do it?
This runs fun with DOSBox on Windows 10.
While the game is quite short, it does give lots of educational and entertainment valve
Aside from the classic (the one that most have played in school) , this version is also great.
This game works just fine in Dosbox on Windows 7. I can even run it on my BlackBerry Playbook in Dosbox.
try to play with dosbox, i was playing various games like this using dosbox and win7
Not compatible with Windows 7. Too bad. I really loved this game as an elementary student. Would love to play it again.
So I can′t seem to run it as I am told it is incompatible with 64bit Windows OS. Is there any way around this? Or am I sadly unable to run this file
Wow, I have been looking for this game for a long time, looking in my Play store for it, and it is no where to be found. I′m really glad i found this. Hoping this is the real deal. I′ll be back is its not. Wish Me Luck!!
This statement is totally ignorant and arrogant:
"It was choppy and by today′s standards is something an elementary school student could create, but when I was playing it, it was the most entertaining game available."
