"The Oregon Trail" Challenge!
Anyone else remember this game from the mid-eighties? I just re-discovered it and I'm actually having quite a bit of fun playing it.
How satisfying it is to kill 4500lbs of Buffalo and only carry 100lbs back to my wagon, while the rest rots on the prairie! Somewhere, Tonto is crying....
Anyways, the game is free....
If you're interested in trying it you'll need....
A) An Apple II emulator: http://applewin.berlios.de/ (download the beta version)

Who can get to Oregon the fastest?
