The Oregon trail

tracilicious · 01-20-2007, 06:38 PM

This April we'll be in Corvallis, Oregon for the Northwest Unschooling Conference. The conference will take up three or four days of our time, and we want to spend three or four more doing Portland, the coast, etc. Any suggestions?

I never got to play Oregon Trail..the computers we had in elementary school were still MS-DOS and couldn't play games like that. Now I feel old.

Mt. St. Helens is a lot of fun to visit.

You feel old? The version of Oregon Trail I played was entirely text based and I played it on a Franklin Ace 1200.

Yeah, I didn't even know there were Windows-based versions of the game.

DisneyFan, probably not a good idea for you to ever use computer technology as a metric for saying you feel old. All you do is make the rest of us feel really old. And there is nothing worse than getting the early-bird special crowd going with a rousing game of "why, back in my day..."

My sisters both played some 3D version of it where you get to do all sorts of cool things. The computers we had in elementary school looked like that, but we didn't play OT. I didn't know they made a text based one.
