  5. I wonder how different #OregonTrail would be if parts of it were played in the third person, and it had modern-day survival mechanics. #GameIdea

    Oregon Trail meme, but says "You have died from listening to RFK Jr" rather than "You have died of dysentery"

  8. Someone visited the @mediaarchaeologylab yesterday who happened to have a photo on their phone of their ancestors who literally rode the Oregon Trail in covered wagons in the 19th century, and I asked to photograph the picture in front of the startup screen for Oregon Trail. Honestly looks like a great 8-bit rendering of the scene on the monochrome Apple IIc.

  9. TIL that there was an apparent introvert version of Oregon Trail called Lewis and Clark Stayed Home.

  12. Trying to get a #Windows98 VM up to play some old #games like #OregonTrail #MathBlaster #SimCity2000 but its been a hassle with drivers I don't want to seal with. I'll probably just install it bare metal on the old machine I have lying around.

  13. I guess the railroad bridge where the #MidtownGreeway ends instead of crossing the #MississippiRiver is where the #OregonTrail crosses the #WinchellTrail in #Minneapolis along West River Parkway.

    You died of fundamental attribution error. It happens to the best of us. No shame in that.

  17. Little MDMRN joined the #DnD club at school. So, I had the following #RealConversation with him:
    Me: So, how's D&D Club?
    LM: Good
    Me: What kind of character did you end up making?
    LM: A Dwarven fighter named Zoregon
    Me: Oh cool
    LM: Last name Trails
    Me: ...

  20. Those who have played and/or love the #OregonTrail, might also enjoy watching the #ClassicGamePostMortem about it as given by one of its creators, #DonRawitz, during the #GameDevelopersConference of #2017: youtu.be/vdGNFhKhoKY

    It discusses both the #boardGame and #mainframe origins (if my memory serves me well).
