The Oregon Trail – Cane and Rinse No.571

“You have died from dysentery.”

Well, not really, but one of your party members probably did. In this installment we cover the edutainment game The Oregon Trail.  Join Brian, Jesse, Rich and Ryan as they head west on a wagon train and discuss what makes this game effective enough to warrant a 50 year history with over 25 different entries. Does this simulation of westward, colonial expansion hold up to the test of time? Listen in to find out.

Music featured in this issue:

1. The Oregon Trail main theme
2. The Oregon Trail (Gameloft version) by Nicolas Dubé
