Summary: Oregon Trail is a great educational game.
Comment: Oregon Trail is great when brought to the classroom instead of textbooks but can it compete? I find this game enjoyable and fun for a more education alternative but this game seems to be in my cabinet more than Wii Fit or Halo. The game can be really enjoyed by casual and maybe hardcore gamers but still can't seem to catch up to my liking of games that are in my Xbox or Wii.
This game is more of a decision game where you travel the Oregon Trail, but before you go, you have to supply yourself with goods. Then most of the game is making decisions like what medicine to use, which way to cross the river, or how many days to rest. The main part of action in the game is the hunting and the fishing where you use your own strategy and not just making decisions. That's the part of the game I liked the most, not because of the hunting but because I was doing it. And that's what leads my opinion on the answer of the question I asked in the beginning of this review. If this game wants to compete and be more enjoyable it has to have the player doing the work not making the decisions. I like games because of the fulfillment of my work. I have strong beliefs that video games can teach and can make a big impacted in the schools and this game is just the start.

Summary: Extremely Poor Design !!!
Comment: Cast your pole in the water to catch a fish, I see fish, they don't move. Never ever !!! click on the guide or diary if you do there is no way to resume the game, you must use control alt and delete buttons and then click on end program now. Even knowing NOT to click on dairy or guide One will unintentionly click on it and you will have heck getting back to your desk top. A good thing I do like is the fact one can see how many $$$$ they have as they travel. OREGON TRAIL 5TH EDITION PC

Summary: Don't Buy if you Have a MAC
Comment: This game maybe fun, but if you have a MAC with OS 10, forget about playing. This game runs on a font no longer available to MAC users, so its basically useless.

Summary: Oregon Trail
Comment: Amazon was great getting this product to me so quickly. My 9 year old son could wait to play it. However it did not work on my Apple computer because you need a certain font that the computer did not have. So I had to load it on my old pc laptop and he plays it on that. Not sure why it isn't compatible with the Apple desktop. I think because it wants to run on classic and most Apples don't even have classic OS9 anymore
