If you were like any normal elementary school kid in the mid 1990s, you spent most of your day in social studies, geography, spelling, and playing this fucking badass game. If this game taught us anything while growing up, it was the meaning of friendship - specifically, how awesome it was to kill off little Murley (who you named after your best friend at the time) with cholera, dysentery, or by forging a 20 foot river and watching him drown because he broke his arm hunting squirrels the day before. Whichever way you chose to kill off Murley, an obnoxious laugh and aggressive taunting was in order; until he retaliated in his game, giving you meager rations and killing you off with some form of 1870's AIDS - leaving you feeling disappointed, and a little dead inside.
Lord knows putting girls in your class into your wagon was a horrible idea, because everyone knows that chicks definitely didn't shave their legs or cooters on the trail - and that shit is gross, and definitely not welcome on the wagon.
Many friendships were bonded and lost along the trail...and now you can all bask in the glory of this game, in all of its 1992 brilliance. To enjoy Oregon Trail again or for the first time (losers) please try it here-
