I am pretty sure this has been posted either here or on another blog on the network in the past, but I recently rediscovered Oregon Trail. You can find the game here. This is one of those games I can remember playing in the classroom as a kid, but I’m not sure if I had ever finished it. I played through and ended up with 4405 points. I have an urge to try and play it to get to the #1 spot on the scoreboard. It probably wouldn’t be that hard.

That was the one that I posted. Cole got distracted by flowers and wandered off.
In my game Cole drowned. He was the only one that died and I ended up with 5000 points at the end.
That is pretty good. I think I could get a really high score if I had the patience to hunt constantly, but I don’t.
