Oregon Trail…why’d she have to die?!
Ok, I’ll admit it: I was wracking my brain trying to come up with something interesting to post tonight. Something trail related, ya dig? Then I stumbled upon a cheap bottle of vodka and instead got strangely nostalgic and ended up playing Oregon Trail for an hour. Yes, you read that right…OREGON TRAIL. If you’re like me, you spent a good portion of your pre-teen years playing this epic game on an Apple IIe at school. Perhaps you even filled your wagon with girls you liked, only to see them die of such terrible afflictions as cholera and dysentery (guess I should have bought them clothes before starting out from Independence in March!), or drown while trying to ford a river much too wide and deep. Ah, the lessons we learn…
Anyway, I stumbled upon Virtual Apple 2, which just might change your life. Play Oregon Trail or any of your other favorite games from the good old days.
