A unique strategy/educational game relating the first pioneers’ journey to Western American.

not nearly as fun as the original. it has stupid micro transactions for items which kills the mood of the game.

This isn't the Oregon Trail you grew up with on the Apple IIe. More like a collection of minigames.
