Let's play Oregon Trail!

[Mithrandir]

How do we know the thief didn't use one of those 8 bullets to kill the ox? You know, just to slow you down. Maybe make you lose your trail... O.O

[K. Ayato]

It's a good thing you still have enough food. Indians only help you find 30 pounds worth. Gee, thanks a lot! >_>

[Ante Bellum]

I played this yesterday and placed myself as the leader, and a bunch of friends as passengers. My best friend died first (He's not going to let me live that one down.) after a broken leg, another friend broke three limbs, got snakebite, came down with one or two diseases, got lost for four days, THEN died.
Then everyone else died.

[Fish and Chips]

The thief stole eight bullets. An oxen dies. Strange people keep saying strange things. Solid Ronin drowned in three feet of water. Maybe you are in a crazy murder-mystery and these are all clues.

07th Expansion presents. Welcome to Oregon.
"WHEN THEY CRY 5"[/font]

When the oxen cry, there are no survivors.

[color="Red"]There are no more than 3 people in this wagon.

This applies to all trails.[/color]

You know, by this point I have to start wondering who is asking this question at every middle of nowhere rest stop we find.



¿No habla español?



Alright, half way there. We're making good time. And hey, over half of us are still alive.

You have to learn to put these things in perspective, people.



Well forget you guys. And I hope both your wagon tongues break.



Well gee, I don't know Oregon Trail, I've only lost someone important to me at every single river crossing in the game to this point. Choosing between them might take me a Fort Bridger Fort Bridger Fort Bridger.



We're not there yet.



It's more beautiful than I ever imagined.



As you can tell, it's a real hip and happenin' place.



Maybe we should pick up some food.

You know, just in case Cognitive isn't edible.

Stop looking at me like that.



All I can hear is, "I need attention."

[K. Ayato]

Fort Bridger looks more like Waffle City.

[Peanut]

I wonder how long these new food reserves will last? Hope you can hunt well with only 11 bullets left...

[Winry]

Maybe we should pick up some food.

Bust out the gun and go hunting! =)

[Fantasy Dreamer]

I hope the wagon wheel and axle they are counting are extra and not the ones on the wagon. I'm assuming so. Otherwise... there could be a disadvantage...

[goldenspines]

Looking at that not very detailed map, it seems as if you will have to cross another river before you reach Oregon. That does not sound promising.

Also, in Fort Bridger, that wagon in the picture looks very sad (no really, it's even crying).

And who is this Aunt Rebecca (she keeps showing up) and why did you bring her along? XP

Happy trials, er trails, for the rest of the way~

Something tells me that these two problems should be able to solve each other.

[Fish and Chips]

Fun Historical Fact: When modern day sodas like coke cola were originally invented, they were marketed as medicine.



And the only prescription...is rest



Four days of it ought to be enough.



Am I the only fully functioning adult on this trip?



No, because I'm blind.



It bothers me that there are more people in this picture than in my actual party.



Miles Hendrick, get out from under my wagon.

Yes I see you there.



Tomorrow I'll differentiate between the night and the day.



Still poor. We can do better than that.



Much better.

[K. Ayato]

Just make sure you get out of the poor health zone and stay out as much as you can. Once you hit "very poor", folks start keeling over like flies. It's not fun.

[LadyRushia]

I knew RD would get dysentery.

[Etoh*the*Greato]

Something tells me that these two problems should be able to solve each other.

You attempt to ford the river on Aunt Rebecca.

Aunt Rebecca Capsizes.

You lose:
1 Oxen
34 bullets
3 sets of clothing
12 pounds of food
Aunt Rebecca (Drowned)

[Roy Mustang]

RD has dysentery

Cognitive Gear has fever


Starts to play, Komm, süßer Tod!

And who is this Aunt Rebecca (she keeps showing up) and why did you bring her along? XP

She's the plot twist!

[Mr. Hat'n'Clogs]

She's the plot twist![font="Book Antiqua"][color="Red"]Col. Roy Mustang[/color][/font]

Maybe she's the one who drowned Solid Ronin?

[Tsukuyomi]

Maybe she's the one who drowned Solid Ronin?

Ooh, and the plot thickens O____O

Wait, you were floating on Aunt May o.O? I didn't know you could name your wagon 8D

[Roy Mustang]

Or it maybe its really Kira sent back in time

Dum dum, the plot gets an even more of a twist.


Did anyone play the other version of this game?

I was wondering if it was any good or not.

That's a long time to use Another One Bites the Dust.

[Cap'n Nick]

Oregen Trail II is pretty cool--basically the same game with more of everything.

Wikipedia says they're up to 5 now. That's more than a little mind-blowing.

[Roy Mustang]

Opps, wasn't clear about that. I was wondering how good The Yukon Trail game was.

But yeah, Oregon Trail II was fun. A remake of this game, entitled "Oregon Trail, 5th Edition", adds various new features to the game. The plant gathering feature was carried over from editions 3 and 4. This feature involves identifying which plants are edible and which are poisonous. Updated graphics have been provided for river crossings. A cartoon has been added which plays at certain points in the game. The conversation pictures are no longer animate.

[Ante Bellum]

We have Oregon Trail 5.
Yukon Trail is fun, but isn't as in depth as Oregon Trail is. There are a few minigames.

[MasterDias]

Yukon Trail was fun enough when I was a kid, but I have doubts it would hold up substantially well now. The most memorable thing about it was some of the hilariously useless items you could buy at the beginning like "Gold sniffing" gofers. But, yeah, it wasn't as deep as the Oregon Trail or (probably) the Amazon Trail. YT was the only one that I don't believe received upgraded editions.

[Winry]

One thing I liked about the Yukon trail is that at the very end you got to stake a claim and see how much gold you earned. Otherwise I think they were pretty similar.

[Mithrandir]

Every time I see this come back up, I'm excited and I anticipate seeing moar... But there's no moar today...

[Kaligraphic]

The problem is you're not taking hunting breaks. When your health is down, you're supposed to stop and hunt other wagons for supplies and medicines. Seriously, though, you're all gonna die on this trip.

Or, you could buy some bullets, hire some indians, and take over Fort Bridger.

[CrimsonRyu17]

The problem is you're not taking hunting breaks.

Which is why every party needs a sadist! (5+ to whoever gets old ref)

[KeybladeWarrior]

The Oregon Trail is a sadist who loves to kill those who travel on him. Breaking some wheels or drowning a woman are some of his favorite pastimes.

[Cognitive Gear]

I just wanted to say:

I am too young, and far too pretty to die.

[Radical Dreamer]

SO MUCH SUSPENSE. Here's hoping the next one to bite the dust is another oxen. They are unimportant.
