reason #1003 to own an iphone



"oregon trail" will soon be coming to the iphone as an app according to the l.a. times:

Oregon Trail, the computer game that practically raised a generation of American youth thanks to its availability in grade-school computer labs, appears to be making a return on the iPhone.

Video game website IGN today posted a handful of screen shots of the game -- and little else. No info. No release date. Nothing.

The graphics appear very similar to developer Gameloft's other mobile versions of the game (the company hasn't responded to our request for more details). The new Oregon Trail has a cartoonish look, which should lighten the all-too-common situations in which your wagon loses a wheel and your mates are infected with cholera.


so stoked.

AHH!! Greatest computer game of all time!!! Emily always died from a snake bite... when I was 7 that sometimes made me cry a little.

And the default names, man. Nothing better than those. "Jeb" was my personal favorite.

Another reason why I hated that I was homeschooled.

I never got to play Oregon Trail.

Yeah it's depressing, so you're gonna have to let me play it on your iPhone.
