The Oregon Trail

The Oregon Trail, released for DOS in the late 1980s and early 1990s, is an iconic educational game where players lead a wagon party westward across 19th-century America. Balancing supplies, hunting, river crossings, and illnesses like dysentery, players make life-or-death decisions on the journey to Oregon. With its simple graphics and memorable text prompts, The Oregon Trail became a beloved classic, teaching generations of kids about history, survival, and the hardships of pioneer life.
