It's hard to believe, but Oregon Trail is turning FORTY years old this year! Originally created for mainframe use in 1971, the game was released for Apple computers in 1978. Since then, Oregon Trail has gone through several expansions and updates including an iPhone release not long ago.

Westward, Ho! Your favorite pioneering adventure game is back and takes you to an exciting, historical side-scrolling adventure entirely rethought to fit the Touch experience of your iPhone / iPod touch.

REMEMBER AMERICA’S CULTURAL ICONIC GAME

• All of the decision-making and problem-solving fun of the original game.
• Prepare for your departure: Select the members of your party, choose your departure date and purchase supplies.
• Fun and educational! Historical references through real locations and famous characters from the past, plus historic facts perfectly explain the perilous journey of pioneers.

A WILDER EXPERIENCE THAN YOU'VE EVER PLAYED BEFORE

• 8 skill-based mini-games, including 2 accelerometer-based challenges: hunting, fishing, river crossing, rafting, wagon repairing, telegraph, berry picking, and gold panning.
• Random events (disease, bandits, hitchhikers, etc.) faced by real pioneers increases the challenge.
• Side-missions add more excitement to your journey, affecting your westward trek.
• Refreshed with modern, colored graphics in a cartoonish style.

Take a trip down memory lane with Oregon Trail for iOS devices. You can also play the original Apple II version at Virtual Apple.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, OREGON TRAIL!
