[NeoSNightmarE]

ahhh number munchers. that and oregon trail=elementary school entertainment.

[Crazycarl]

OMG i want that shirt...i remember that being the only game (besides math blaster) that the school would let u play. i missed that game.

[Mattiekrome]

great idea for a shirt, if i had money I would consider buying it

[Graham Mitchell]

Was the Oregon Trail published by "MECC", the same people that published Number Munchers? (Remember the sound it made whenever you ate a number? Bluddum!)

Anyway, that publisher had another game called O'dell Lake where you were a fish who had to decide what and what not to eat in order to grow. Did anybody else play that one? We had a kid in our class named Mike O'Dell. We'd give him loads of shit about that...

[pseudonym]

yeah, i think mecc pubished all of those games.

i remember o'dell lake. that brings back a lot of memories along with number/word munchers, oregon trail.

[NeoSNightmarE]

yeah. it was MECC for Oregon Trail. i remember that because i would always complain about it. lol

[AFGiant]

*sees shirt*
YES! *will buy*

I still have that game, it came with my first computer. Then my younger friend borrowed it for like a year. Just recently I found another copy in a thrift and I gave it to him as part of his birthday present.

I had Odel Lake I remember I always picked the gray fish because hecould eat everything. And then by some cruel twist of fate I would always get ate by a bird or caught by a fisherman or something.

The last one I ever played was on a 286 in CGA. I played a lot of that when my Dad's Windows PC died in 1996.

Awesome shirt.

Yeah, I also have a MAJOR CRAVING to play Oregon Trail again after seeing this thread.

My folks got me the game along with a few others (I recall Robocop being one) when we got our first IBM Clone for Christmas of 1988. I had allready played the Apple IIe version at school but I was thrilled to have a home version.

Over the years I've seen the new ones and I thought they looked fun but more 'kiddy' games and I just could'nt bring myself to buy them.

I SO WISH that the original was emulated somewhere on line. That would be so cool. Maybe I should do a Google search. God knows the original won't run on a modern system, so a online version would rock.

I haven't used one myself, but I know that Apple II emulators are out there. Get one, get an image of the Oregon Trail (which I'm sure can't be too hard to find), and (here's the hard part) figure out how to use it. It's probably as close as you're gonna get.

[LAGO]

I actually played the original oregon trail on an emulator almost 5 years ago. It's out there just gotta look for it.

[Daria]

the-underdogs.org has the VGA remake, and classic gaming has the original. Played both last night. Then I went on an apple 2 binge. Fun stuff.

[EnemyZero]

shweeett i want one :P i may load up some OT now

[Nirvana]

My god. I have to buy that shirt. I remember I used to play it all the time in grade school. I remember shooting deer and stuff. Heh heh. Goofy game.

[wallydawg]

I'm ashamed to admit I've never beaten this damned game, even after countless elementary school hours commited. I was close once, but we had to leave the computer lab to do something else (Prolly gym. Damn you rope climbing!)

[FantasiaWHT]

This thread has filled me with so many good memories of Elementary School.

Does anyone else have the urge to go play it right now?

Yes Good times. Elementary school computer lab with *gasp* IBMs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This was in 1986, remember.

[2Dskillz]

Back in High School our programing class got one week to "study entertainment software" i.e. play games.

All of my good friends would use each others names in Oregon Trail and Kevin ALWAYS died of dysentary. No matter who was playing.

I think Kevin needs this shirt.

[Daft Punk]

[Daft Punk]
