When I was in school our teacher forced us to play The Oregon Trail. It was a way for us to learn how to use computers and to learn about something that we were actually attempting to understand at the time.
Most of my friends enjoyed it. I was not a huge fan. I never truly understood the point of the game.
Now that I am a history teacher, (although not just a history teacher this year,) I can see the value in the game. This got me to thinking...If it was on a disk and loved so much all these years ago, it should be available on line right? RIGHT!
I found it. The original too at Virtual Apple.

I did have to download an extension for Google Chrome to use because this is an Apple product from 1985. However, I was able to play the game with ease and I actually found it fun this time.
Sadly, I did manage to drown Timmy in the Missouri River. Poor Timmy.
