arete It's a zip folder, so you need to extract the files first, then use the .exe or .bat file to run the game. You'll need to use DOSbox as windows can't run old DOS-based games. Go to www.dosbox.com to download it. There's an easy tutorial on that site as well.

Don't have one When I download it, I get a folder with a bunch of files... which one do I use to play the actual game???

Donugee I downloaded it and proceeded to unzip the folder, but Windows, 7 in specific, is saying the .zip is empty and wont extract it. I tried to enter it manually and see, then it said it was "invalid".

edit: Never mind I redownloaded it and it's fine. I guess my Ethernet cable lost contact as I was downloading or something. I assume I open it with "Oregon.exe" right?

GroovingPanda I'm not from the US but still find this game funny in some strange, rather geeky way.

Maxor127 I think it has some replayability. I played the original a lot, trying to get the high score. I don't remember if this version has high scores or not.

AntGrant Oregon trail is a great adventure survival game however i find that as soon as you've completed the journey successfully then you probably won't be bothered to ever play it again, unless of course you want to kill yourself on the way and gaze at your own grave..

You might not have to, but it will probably run better in DOSBox. Unless, of course, you have a way to play it under true DOS. I recommend that you visit http://www.dosbox.com/ and download DOSBox. You may have to configure it slightly from time to time, but you'll learn how to use it quickly.

Well, I had no real problems running it under WinXP, but then again, I only played and finished it once that way. Otherwise I automatically play all these ames in DOSBox.
