Hahahahaha! This is one of the funniest things I have ever seen! I miss playing Oregon Trail.

I had no exposure to Oregon Trail until I moved to the US. Is it an educational game? Was it played in schools? I may well have to check out its Wikipedia entry.

It’s an educational game but it was pretty big in the UK too. It’s been on EVERYTHING. There’s a pretty decent iPhone version if you’ve got one. Apparently this lets you play the original version here but I haven’t tried it myself: http://digg.com/news/gaming/Play_the_original_Oregon_Trail
I dunno if it’ll have the same appeal since you didn’t grow up with it, but I find it pretty compelling even now so it might!
What about Granny’s Garden? Did you play that? :D
