Well I recently picked up on the game The Oregon Trail again, and after playing a round with Obe, I've decided to play with you guys. I'm pretty sure you guys've play this before. If not, I'll explain:



Welcome to the Oregon Trail! I'm your gamemaster, Darkfire. On the Oregon Trail, we'll be roughing it on the harsh realities that the real pioneers faced. In this game, we'll have control over four pioneers. We'll name them and give them the occupation that they had before leaving. Each one has a different advantage and disadvantage. Thus we can choose when to leave, and what supplies to buy before setting out.

What your job to do is to dictate me into working things such as telling me when to stop and hunt, how we should cross the river, what to buy and trade, and the like. Exciting!

Now on more popular forums, like /b/ and Gamefaqs, we usually get quick and immediate responses. But these forums are a little less active than those. Thus, I'll give a time limit of 24 hours to come up with responses to situations that will undoubtedly arise.

Now to make sure I'm not overcrowded and swamped with people in case this gets a bit popular (I hope it does), I have to put up a sign up sheet. This way if I'll know how many votes have been cast and if there are people not voting.

And those of you who want your own copy, there's a torrent in Piratebay found here:
Don't worry. It's in rar form; no need to mount on Daemontools or stuff like that.

If you don't like torrenting, you can have my rar'd version:

To get Oregon Trail, you don't need to install or anything. After getting the download, extract the thing to wherever you want it.
Then go into the folder and look for the OTWIN32 folder.
Look for the OREGON32.EXE and click that. There you go.

If you have any questions, or you want to sign up, just gimme a response in this thread.

Sign-up sheet:
1. Shrike7
2. Pheonix Alugere
3. Copper
4. Toxicshock
5. Obeliskos
6. Momiji
7. Bartnum
8. Garfield751

I demand that you put this game up for download, I haven't played it since I was eight years old, playing it off the 3.5 inch floppy drive on an old macintosh in my elementary school's library!

Other than that, consider myself signed up :)

Re: The Oregon Trail Group Game Sign-Up

So, how many of us will die for no reason? (Random disease, snakebite, falling anvil, etc.)

@ Phoenix

All of us. You know we will.


@ Shrike

Well the file is too big for a megaupload, but I'll give you the torrent I used.



It's on original post too now.

Yeah, put me in, too.

I thought my friend was going to die laughing the other day. We were wandering around the medieval faire and he caught sight of this on someone's shirt:

Re: The Oregon Trail Group Game Sign-Up

The file is too big for upload? o_O and I don't use torrents, damn. Maybe split it into parts with Winrar? I know it's a bit of work, but pretty please?

Re: The Oregon Trail Group Game Sign-Up

Sad memories. I never got a chance to play this game at school. Every half hour after lunch, we'd have a free period and I'd ask the teacher what the game was, and she'd say "Oh that's Oregon Trail, it's fun and educational" and I'd say, "Can I play it?" "Sure sweetie, but give him his turn for today, you'll get another chance. And every new day passed and I never got to play it, ever.

.. :(


*edit* oh yeah, Im interested

I know the feeling, Toxic. We were ordered from alphabetical order on playing this one detective game involving furries. My last name is W. So I had to wait til the twentieth something day to play the game. In which the teacher always fucked me over and skipped my turn anyway.



That's why I'm letting you play now.

(Psst, Shrike. That's the link!)

Re: The Oregon Trail Group Game Sign-Up

Sign me up. I used to love playing the shit out of this back in school. Pretty sure there's a sequel out there, but I never really played it.

Re: The Oregon Trail Group Game Sign-Up

Oh fuck it. Eight players is enough, and I'll take the role of tie breaker. Making new thread... NOW!

You don't have to use this thread to talk out of character. There really isn't much "character" going on anyway. So if you want, you can sorta chat in the actual thread as well.

Do we have to pretend we're in oldy times, or can I be myself on that wagon?

And whatever you think will make this game funner.
