has anyone gone back and played the Oregon Trail?
I have faint memories of it being too hard and giving up as a little kid, but have been curious to go back and replay it because...memes

I was going to, unfortunately I got Dysentery and died...
Yes, and it fucking rules
It only felt “hard” because all any of the kids wanted to do was hunt until game became scarce
Emulator should be easy enough to find and it’s a 10/10
Hell yes
I quit video games for the month, but come September đź‘€
It was basically impossible. Way too much chance left to crossing rivers and disease. You gotta roll a 7 every time effectively.
No way, it’s definitely beatable. Key is to max out on oxen (20, I think) and make crazy time across the map. The oxen double as food if you get into trouble.
To be fair my last attempt was at like age 9. Maybe I need to retry.
We have the handheld. Made my kids play it almost the way it was meant to be played.
Damn. Didn't know that existed!
Playing old games destroys good memories! I'd advice against it.
I beat it the first time I played it. Then gave up dying over and over and over again.
I loved this game growing up. Do not think I ever beat it but got pretty damn close
Sim city and the theme park one were also favorites of mine
I need to revise my initial review - playing through as a farmer is impossible
I have only ever made it to the end as a banker, which, as a bitcoiner, hurts my soul
My oxen drowned trying to ford the river. I lost 6 oxen, please send bitcoin so I can go buy more oxen.
