Description of Oregon Trail Deluxe
Offering adventure, educational, role-playing (rpg), strategy, simulation in a world of history, managerial, real-time, Oregon Trail Deluxe is an abandonware developed by MECC and published by MECC. Released in 1992, you wander around in a perspective.
The Oregon Trail, well known road crossing the Rocky Mountains used by the settlers in the 19th century.
MECC made an educational game based on this memorable part on the USA story. The player must cross the oregon trail and fight against the difficulties the settlers had. Hunting for food, trading supplies, survive LOTS of possible deaths (snakes, typhoid, dysentry...).
Should you succeed in your journey, your points will be based on your profession, the number of settlers still alive, your remaining cash and much more.
Oregon Trail was played by a lot of American people born in the eighties and the game stay into memory as one hard, unforgiving and unbeatable game. Some family would eventually play the game together and children in school would even make competition over who got the farthest before dying in the game!
Gwane commented :Who remembers games they played as a kid? I for one remember the only one we played in elementary school, Oregon Trail. 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. Now today 40 years after the game was created, kids are still playing it. It was actually created to be an educational experience of how people migrated to the west to settle. Me being on the west myself, found this very significant. I personally would recommend this game to any child as a fun way to get education.
ridley-the-dragon commented :This is an awesome game I just wish they would make a remake. This game is still pretty popular so a remake would probably do pretty well ! I'm imagining the hunting only with mechanics more like a cabelas game only with muskets and with next gen graphics and complex colony building systems, allowing Sim City style colony building, all with next gen graphics on a pc, think about it...
And with a free modding tool it would become classic, like ratchet and clank, with mods allowing you to make so that you just farm for food and the hunting mechanics are used for combat with the british or it could be totally remoded to make it a halo colonizing game on different planets instead of to America with the combat i mentioned earlier

Just thought I'd mention it for anyone who might be interested (and using DosBox to run) that you can quickly jump into full-screen mode by pressing (alt+enter).
Aiming this at 'db' mainly... hopeit helps someone ! : )

Is there anyone to make this window size on my computer? Instead of it being full screen?

Hey folks, if you are thinking there is something wrong with the game, I mean that it looks slightly different, like how the things don't pop up with the dun-duh-dunnn sound, it's because that is the Oregon Trail Version 1.2 from 93-96. It is very difficult to find and I am disappointed...

Ever heard of the (totally free), awesome and all round butt kicking program DosBox? No? Google it, please. Because DosBox will allow your modern computer to play these old games, by emulating DOS, and even emulating old hardware, like an old soundblaster soundcard! So with DosBox, you can enjoy this game, and all the others you can find on this website.
yeaahhh added this comment :
well no sound...even with messing with the settings and stuff for audio and its not the same, like it doesnt pop up and say, you have dysentery! which is half the fun
Flic Montana added this comment :
Could be fun, but this is just the original game and it isn't compatible with modern Windows. Someone should rework it so that it can.
Actually, this should replace 1 of the 20 crappy card games that come free with Windows. I'd MUCH rather spend an hour playing Oregon Trail at lunch than Hearts.

how do i play? i unzipped and double clicked the oregon box and it didnt work
garbarble added this comment :
No, Gwane. The average elementary school student could not create a game like this. You fail at understanding what is involved.
Lafcat added this comment :
This is the second version with better graphics great history game I like all versions of the Oregan trail. You must unzip/ extract the files in the oregan-trail-deluxe.zip folder then double click the Oregon titled blue retangle exe.file icon Enjoy!
Bob added this comment :
Is this the version with voice acting? Because I remember the Mac of deluxe version did.
machinistb added this comment :
Look up DOSBOX. Little bit of playing around (use the tutorial) but it got me back in touch with my childhood.
ridley-the-dragon added this comment :
@albjz99 YES there is a way around it just get a 32 bit emulator OR pick up a really old computer for like $20 for the easy not have to sit there installing this crap way

great game that brings back a lot of good memories, Oregon trail has lost it's way but I'm glad to see the older version still stand out.
