Fournials explains that buying specific items at the shop is out, along with other resource management, to keep players moving. New additions are mini-games, more decision making, events, alternate routes and being able to watch your party die off one by one. Yeah, but can we name the youngest kid after the elementary school bully (like we did back then) and starve him to death ... or better yet, have him die of cholera?

In the more recent games there were specific foodstuffs, equipment, clothing, etc. They probably made it more like the older game where it was x pounds of food and x pounds of clothing.

I've heard about this all over the internet for years, but I've never heard anyone in the UK mention it ever.
Personally, I spend all my computer classes playing Elite and Repton.

Just like how in the United States nobody plays the hugely popular Chinese edutainment game "Crush the Tienanmen Rebels."
If you said yes to either, you'll love Oregon Trail.

seriously, micro management was the whole point of this game it thought. how much food should i buy? will it be enough? should i stay out and hunt longer? has the kid i named after the person i hate died yet?

I, sadly, will buy this game. Oregon trail was the only fun part of grade school.

"All your oxen drowned, your wife died, your kids got malaria, three axles broke, and thieves stole all your food."
that pretty much sums up the entire game. it was so frustrating but so addicting at the same time. i honestly think i never finished a complete journey. i remember i got close once but never actually beat it. maybe i should download it and try again sometime.
