Oregon Trail (21 June 2009)
The Oregon Trail, 5th Edition

The game is really cool and my kids like it very much. The only disadvantage is, that when you have only newer Mac's (do not know with windows) that you won't be able to play the game, as even the fifth edition is an older version, because the New York Font, that is required for the game is no longer available in the newer Mac's. Downloading didn't work either.

Ah! (16 June 2009)
So I bought this game since it said it was OS X compatible for MAC. It is, only if you have access to OS 9 to get a stupid font called "New York size 18". There are thousands of forums online about this font and how nobody who had a new mac can find it since it is only in 9.0, which you have to buy if you don't have it.

Try searching "New York 18 font" on google, and it will come up with a bunch of forums about people not being able to play because there is an error message saying the game cannot play without New York size 18. There are no places online to download it since it is under apple's name.

Shoot, I love Oregon Trail! I wish I didn't update my computer so often..

great learning adventure! (13 June 2009)
I remember playing the game before my daughter was in school, so I was looking forward to using it when the time came this year for her to give a report on the California trail. Her teacher gave her an A+ for the diary she made of the trip. You don't have to have children to play either, just an interest in history.

it's a classic game from my youth (04 May 2009)
This is a classic game that was created for computers much older than we use now, give it a break. The reason i purchased was a trip down memory lane and so my little one could experience it. It has a few problems here and there but it was $8.

could not play (12 April 2009)
Everytime we tried to use this product, we received an error message and were never able to play the game. My child was very disappointed.
