The Oregon Trail is a game that most of my generation played when they grew up. The goal is to get one one side of the country to the other(Oregon), without losing your entire family.
The controls are very simple. Touch the screen at the top to bring up your main menu. While you’re moving you have speed controls at the bottom(fast, medium, slow). 90% of the controls are simple menu selections with the occasional mini-game. Mini-games include tasks from repairing your wagon, picking fruit, and hunting too.
The game isn’t exactly the same as the original. And because of this I actually think it’s not doing as well as it could. I’m not saying that this updated version is bad or anything, it’s just different. Some changes make things easier, some changes make things harder. . .so it works itself out.
I think that Gameloft made a SMART move by purchasing the rights to this game and putting it into the App Store. This was a game I played in school on the Apple computer in Elementary School, and loved it. Every 5 or 10 years I think to myself, man it would be good to play that game again. . .and now I can.
I am obsessed with this game. OBSESSED!
I am OBSESSED with this game. It is SO much fun and the graphics are awesome.
