Title: Oregon Trail (aka walk down childhood nostalgia memory lane)
Post by: emmy on March 31, 2005, 01:36:36 pm

I just downloaded an emulator to play oregon trail because I came in contact with a facebook group called... "I Just Tried To Ford the River and My Fuckin Oxen Died" and it just reminded me of my childhood playing games like this...

Oh, I remember that game! I used to play it all the time in elementary school during computer class. I would always have to be the doctor...yet ironically I always ended up dying of typhus. Must not have been a very good doctor if I couldn't even save myself  :wink:

Haha, I used to like to be the doctor...  but in the original version I was playing you can only choose from Banker, Carpenter or Farmer...

yeah, but it was always crap because you'd shoot the near-1000 pound buffalo and only be strong enough to carry 100 damn pounds back to the wagon.  weakling!  (like i should talk, haha!)

i never said i could pull the full 1000 pounds!  and I did say "Like i should talk" because I probably couldn't even pull the 100.  But I want big strong men in my party!  Like crapbag and jesus!  They should be able to pull at least 100 each!

I loved her accent :P
