Hezekiah - -Blue devil! Little Boone has the dysentery and he needs to go to the bathroom! -
Sonic -No, we're making good progress! And stick a cork in that brat, I don't want him shittin' all over the wagon! -
Elizah -I told you we should've picked the banker! -
Hezekiah -The banker? Seriously, Elizah! What's a banker gonna do to an ox, give it better interest rates? Plus, he was from Boston. they call soda -pop-
Elizah -Well, a lot of help You were when I got sick! -
Hezekiah -Well, maybe if Magallen out there hadn't spent everything on 60 wagon tongues, we could've got ourselves a new one! -
Elizah -I'll tell You what I'd like a new one of! -
Hezekiah -Oh, you was just sayin' you want a new one o' me? -

Textbox -Elizah is so clumsy, she fell down some stairs-
Hezekiah -Now that's more like it! -

Hey, chief waahoo! I'm leadin' a bunch or assholes across the country; I was wondering if you could.

At the computer lab at the library at my school in 1986 we had about 10 Apple IIs with green screens, and 1 with an amazing color screen. Playing Oregon Trail on the color computer was every kid's dream. There was also a new-fangled 'Mac' with a weird 'mouse' thing in the other room. I figured it was probably only for drawing on the screen. I wasn't into art so it didn't interest me.
I also liked this lemonade/apple-stand game. I forgot what it was called. I loved to jack up the price of my lemonade even if no one bought it.

Oregon Trail was the first and only computer game I played in elementary school back in the 80s. Once a year they allowed each class to go to the library and play the game once, because our teachers and school officials were old fuddy-duddys that didn-t know jack-sh! t about computers, and were convinced students would destroy the machines just by touching them. Whoever spent the cash to buy our school 100 apple computers shouldn-t have bothered. Sometimes I don-t miss the 80s. Lol

Hey there. I appreciate how you include the history of games or other subjects in your videos. The time you take to research and present history in an entertaining way is well done. In particular this game which does has a rich and interesting past. As one who played this game in the hallway of my elementary school in Minnesota on a teletype machine, your effort to take the time to appreciate and share history is to be applauded. Thank you!

I tracked this down and play it every now and then, the last time being about a week ago. Some of these classic games never really get old. However, I think they missed a good history lesson by not being more accurate about Native Americans and interactions with them, but that's just me; I'm kind of a stickler when it comes to history because I love it, even as bad as it can be.

How to beat the game with an alive party (Also works on the zombiefied Organ Trail) - Start early with minimal supplies & lots of ammunition. Hunt to stock tons of food. Trade food for all other supplies. Buy ferries and repair the wagon when needed. Go at a moderate pace. Stop whenever anyone gets sick and don't go again until they are well. Hurrah! You made it!

You really don't want to mess with those black blobs! They're not just hiding a normal looking chip in some goo.
Instead of making a proper chip - a little black box with legs, they instead attach the silicon straight to the PCB and connect all its minute contacts. Then they blob on some resin to protect it.
Trying to remove the blob. will not end well.

I just played online. My wagon broke 1 mile from The Dalles and I spent a month trying to trade for a part during which everyone but me died. It's a mile. In a month's time you could have disassembled the wagon, walked it to the raft piece by piece, reassembled it and then floated down the bloody river. It's what I get for trying to be a farmer.

I played the 3rd edition in the 90s and I learned about the medicinal uses for various plants. I still use it as a reference and so when people ask me why I need an old computer attached to my back I proudly declare: -In case I get dysentery. -
I don't have any friends. :(
But I also do not have dysentery! ; )
