Misc. Media The Gaming Historian: Oregon Trail

[A Challenger Approaches]

There were so many places I thought of posting this, but officially settled on posting it here. This was released today and goes over the history of how it became a thing and how it became just so prevalent in American society. For anyone who grew up in this country, prepare for a nostalgia bomb. I didn't know anything about the story of the game, or that the people who originally made it never saw a dime for it (and don't care one bit about that!).

Watch it (and other stuff from The Gaming Historian), it's fantastic.

Oh wow Gaming Historian finally came out with a new video? Definitely going to be checking this one out later.

I’ll watch the video later, but I played the fuck out of Oregon trail 1 & 2

i still use oregon trail (the deluxe edition--the original is a bit hard for people born in 2007-08 to understand) in my classes. it's older than i am and still a great resource!

Has anyone played the newer version that's on consoles and PC?
