Like the title says. I am looking for the disks so I can play it on a Apple IIe. I can't seem to find it anywhere. Anyone have any ideas? Or maybe a copy?

Thanks in advance.

I remember this game like it was yesterday. 4th grade, if we got a b or higher Mr. Green would let us play for half hour. If we got a A we got to play (I think it was) need for speed. Not on the IIC but on his super new (at the time) Packard bell. I do have a emulator with oregon trail on it.

Thanks Kris. But that is for the Macintosh not the Apple II.

I know right? I use to play it in elementary school as well.

The funny thing is I actually have a //e that I 'acquired' from my high school.

Here is the monitor, currently I am running it with a //c since the //e is in storage.

LOL! I seen that "Where is Carmen Sandiego?" on the screen. I played that in school too. Bringing back some memories. I still never beat that damn Oregon Trail game though, I always ran out of computer time or killed my family. LOL!

We were arguing last week about where the Oregon Trail ended. My daughters claim it ended at The Dalles because that's where the game ended. I think it ended at Oregon City.

All of our Apple II stuff went to Goodwill a long time ago.

I mostly played Karatika on the Apple we had in Highschool. Not sure if it was a IIe or a IIc, the monitor was monochrome like the one above.

Same here. I remember being a kid and my friends would try and kill the Apple's so we wouldn't have to do the typing tutor games. So they would eject the disks and the touch the disk part. Hit the keys really hard, turn the monitors on and off really fast. Nothing they could do would ever stop these old computers.

Its funny, back then I wasn't too excited about the Apple, but now they bring back good memories and I am glad I never tried to kill one.

I never could beat that damn bird I had another one similar to it, run around collecting things, but never could get past one part, couldn't find the apples, to get to the next level, then always got killed by a ninja throwing stuff at me...

Back on topic. My older brother is the only person I know to beat The Oregon Trail. I'll have to call him and see if he still has it.

LOL That game was AWESOME! For some reason I had it confused with Prince of persia...

What I recall: A baddie would run up to the main bad guy(had a bird on his shoulder?) -The main bad guy would point, the baddie would bow, then run off... you'd run run run run, then fight! run run run...lol

Gotta hit youtube for gameplay vids...

There were actually 2 versions of Oregon Trail. IIRC it was the 1st version that you could cheat on. You could spend negative dollars on medicine, like - 10000 and it would credit you that much to spend on food and other stuff like better oxen and things. Then at the next rest stop you could buy back the medicine assuming all your family was not dead. I believe in Oregon Trail 2 it was drastically different and you could not cheat in that one the same way.

I grew up in Oregon right near the end of the Trail, in Aurora Oregon.

That was pretty fun. There is also another one where you can drive a Honda Insight and go on a road trip.


Ahh the beauty of monochrome

Yes sir. First try!

BTW I think something must have happened to the disks you sent. Because I cant even format them. Maybe they got xrayed or something.
