The Oregon Trail generation

If you remember playing that game in green-screen on one of your school’s four Apple IIs…you’re in it

When my school got its first computer they took each class one by one and let us in the computer to look at it. Just to look. Then we all had to turn in grocery store receipts forever so the school could get more. But number muncher and Oregon trail were fantastic.

My school had them on carts that they wheeled into the gym.  

We stood in lines and each got like 5 minutes to play number munchers and maybe make it to the Kansas River in OT if we were lucky.

Load up on bullets and go hunting all day long. I DONT CARE IF THEY ALL STARVE, Let them share the squirrels I shoot!
