As a young colt, Sunburst loved computer games but his all time favorite was the Oregon Trail. Despite loving it, he always suffered the same fate, dying of dysentery. On this game day, would he suffer the same fate or will he finally make it to Oregon?

Fun fact: there's also an Oregon trail card game. It's one of the absolute worst card games ever created and is practically impossible to actually beat/win

I never knew that. There is a horrible modernized version that was created by the Oregon Department of Tourism where you travel around the state. Simple little things like a dead cell phone can cause party members to die. I think I'll stick to the old school version I played on the Apple IIe growing up....fun fact, you can actually play the 1990 DOS version (same as Apple IIe) in your browser. I never did good growing up but last year I got to the top of the top ten list. You have to do things just right to get that spot too.

Some people think it is a boring game but I think it is fun and it does make you stop and think about what the best decisions are in multiple ways.

There's also an Oregon Trail handheld game.

There are also Apple IIe emulators for a broad variety of platforms (including for Android and the Nintendo DS and 3DS if you want something portable).

Now for him to play The Organ Trail...which is similar only more modern with zombies and the reward being safety.

I've never heard of that one before.

This is great
Don’t have any particular interest reading this, no offense, not my type, but that it exists is fucking gold

No offense taken. There are plenty of things I don't have interest in reading but the fact that it exists is great.

Good to see a Oregon Trail story.

I got a similar comment when I did a MLP/US Acres crossover story. Thing is, I was actually playing the Oregon Trail while I was writing the story. Basically it was what was going on with my game except I had Sunburst playing it.

Same tbh. Well I mean I think I put it on my read later list but that has like 6,000 stories on it at this point or some ridiculous number like that. Sorry author. I hope at least I brightened your day a little bit with my random oregon trail card game anecdote.
