"If you have never played Oregon Trail, you are missing out. It's a wonderful simulation of the 1840's journey so many Americans made from the Mid-West to California. Even though the game is simple, the harshness and difficulty of the journey communicate unmistakably. Kids will play it over and over without realizing it's 'educational' and adults won't care. This is a great game."

This game offers the best of version 2 coupled with the opportunity to actually fish much like hunting in v2, plus a chance to view the plants gathered and throw out the poisoned ones. An online guide lets you know which is which. This includes pictures and some notes about each plant. I give it 4.5 stars out of 5.

Better than what I was expecting. The game is both fun and educational. Thanks to the botany skill, I learned a lot about plants. I would recommend this game.

I love this game, and have had it on prior systems. Game itself is the same as when I had it many years ago. Very old school which is what makes it fun.

This game is so nostalgic! I give it two thumbs up. I can remember playing this game for the first time in grade school. I get the same excitement playing it as an adult. Endless fun and excitement.

Nostalgia at its finest. I bought this game three days ago and have been playing as much as possible, but I haven't even left town yet! There are so many items to buy and haggle over. You have to consider weight and anticipate all the possible needs of your group. I don't think I ever put this much thought into it when playing as a kid. Can't wait to leave town!

Never can get it past Fort Kearney, but it was nice to see the game I remember being addicted to years ago. Hunt often. Worth the money just to see it again and load the wagons and head on out.

I love this game. It brings me back to when I was little playing it on the classroom computer. Awesome!
-tamalamb16
This is basically the same game as Oregon Trail II with a few added features. In addition to hunting, you can fish at river crossing and gather wild plants. The game is a fair replica of the CD-ROM game.
-powersofanordinary
Definitely a fascinating game. Something I played in school so many years ago, and just loved it. Not quite your Call of Duty or Halo, but for all those who wanna play for old time's sake.

Oregon Trail: 5th Edition is a fun blast from the past. Reminds me of a choose your own story book. Start easy or hard, it's up to you! I am planning on getting a copy for my niece. All in all, it's a fun way to learn a little history.
-jwoodbury
The game is very nostalgic to me. If you have played the game in the past and are looking to relive the experience, I would say it is well worth playing.

I played this game with my kids and loved it. Now I'm having fun playing it with the grandkids. Brings back great memories as we learn about our great country.
-starcrossed40
This is the best, just as I remember it. My daughter and I have had a lot of fun playing it. It brings back so many memories while we are busy making new memories. Thank you.
-redhood007
Yes, I like the game very much. I had a text only version when I was teaching in high school many years back in the 1980's, playing on a Commodore 64. Also bought a board game, playing it with my wife and young son at the time. However, now with the graphics that were developed, it makes the game even more interesting when playing on the computer. It is a very realistic simulation and good to use as a teaching aid for history. I am no longer a teacher, but it brings back happy memories when I was younger. Thank you to the developers that make this game run well on a new Windows laptop.
-dannyhahn56
This is one of my favorite games. It brings back childhood memories. I'm happy I found the game that I can play on Windows 10. It runs great and of course the graphics aren't at 1080p, but it'll work.
