Review: "Classic" - As much as you can call a CD-ROM game a classic, Oregon Trail is such. It was one of the first extended play CD games to make good use of the computer over the video game console. So far, it has been through five versions. The second was such an improvement over the first, that users may have had extremely high expectations for the next several versions of the game, but there has never been the leap in graphics or play options since the jump from one to two. However, the smoothness of play, and the speed of the game have improved with each version. While five doesn't have the options that four had, and is in some ways a rehash of the second version, it is still the best. Four had too many bugs and glitches. If you have never played Oregon Trail, or have played only one of the first two versions, I would reccomend five over the other available versions (all are available used through desertcart.com). If you have never played Oregon Trail, at all, you are missing out; OT is a simulation of the journey made in the 1840's by so many Americans from the Mid-West to California. Even though the game is simple, the harshness and difficulty of the journey communicate unmistakably. It is a wonderful simulation. Kids will play it over and over without realizing it's "educational," and adults won't care. This is a great game.
Review: Sadly won't work on windows 10 - I love this game. I grew up on it and it is a great learning tool. Although they need up update their stuff because while these will run on Windows 10 they don't let you finish the game. After playing some of the game it cuts out and kicks you off the game. My kids were really bummed because they LOVED this game!

### ⭐ New York 18 font - WILL NOT WORK
*by S***L on January 29, 2011*

Anyone purchases this game to play on a new Mac - system OS10 an above should be aware that this game will be useless to you. The system requires the font New York 18 to run. It is impossible to find and download this font on the internet, and unless you have access to the OS9 system disks, you will be very frustrated and waste much time. I took my laptop to the Apple store and they were able to download the font from an internet site that I have since been unable to find. However, once installed, the game is skippy and the audio sped up. I am sooooo frustrated and unhappy. This was a great game, and I need it for my fourth grade Oregon Trail unit. This information is not stated when you purchase this game - so I hope this post can get moved to the top of the list. IF ANYONE KNOWS HOW TO FIX THIS ISSUE (please don't say Google New York 18 - been there - done that - for hours) I would appreciate the help so much. Sueadel@me.com
