    The Learning Company - Oregon Trail 5th Edition

    • Other things, like a piano, are wasted if you buy them bc they are virtually worthless on the trail and add a lot of useless weight
    • Those things were so classic
    • and I learned a few things also, such as the advantages and disadvantages of various draught animals, the pace of travel so as not to overwork the animals, the type of wagon most suitable for the trail, etc.
    • OT2 had different pieces for certain scenarios, like reaching mountains, people dying, things going poorly, and especially the climatic final stretch towards Oregon...this game has none of these.
    • It explains things like oxen are better for pulling than horses and you should buy vinegar bc it prevents scurvy
    • The only thing I had to do was download a quick fix patch, and it worked perfectly.
    • It's the next best thing to being there
    • A good thing I do like is the fact one can see how many $$$$ they have as they travel.
    • If your parts start breaking on the trail, traders will want insane things (like 1 or more oxen, your only rifle/shotgun, etc.) in exchange for a replacement, and the more you haggle, the higher the demands go in amount, so it's better to not get that desperate.-Get to your destination before Dec 15
    • This is a wonderful game used to enjoy it on my xp thus wanted it for my vista it sits collecting dust due to the lost things for
    • I like referring to past entries in the diary from time to time; it's nice that simple things like that do not go unnoticed
    • The only good thing about it, was that it came quickly
    • There were a few nice things in this version, you can fish and gather certain types of berries and herbs
    • well i always liked oregon trail when i was younger and prob still like it today but it wont install properly on my computer so
