Elvie 2019-07-18 -1 point Windows versionI had trouble on windows 10 with all the suggested methods here. What worked for me was the fact I downloaded a program called Power2Go when I bought a CD drive for my laptop a couple months back. This program allowed me to right click the ISO file that extracted from the oregontrailii folder and mount it as a virtual drive. It asked me what I wanted to label the drive as (I picked D:) and then I went to the virtual D:otii drive it created for me and then then I went to WIN32 and open application file Setup32 and it installed it for me. To open the game I opened back up the d:otii and went to data and opened the OTII32 application file. Mine went to black screen then, but I hit the windows button and it minimized it to a playable window. This may not be new info to some but I hope this helps anyone as confused as I was at first.

Tempest 2017-08-09 7 pointsSo I couldn't figure out how to get this to run at first, but I poked around a bit and finally clicked not on the folder thing, but the Oregon Trail II file. Go to Win16 or Win32 ( I don't actually know the difference, except maybe the graphics?? )) and double click on Setup.16 or Setup.32It should install the game, although I have noticed in my first attempt to play the game that it's a bit buggy, particularly when you go to the screen to check your supplies. It won't toggle back to the travel screen very easily.Hope this helps someone! Sal 2017-02-22 0 pointIn order for this to work; your best bet is to do a dual bootable OS setup with windows 98 as your secondary OS or use a virtual machine program. There are ways to get this to work on Windows 10; however, from personal experience with emulators, work arounds in other games; the games don't always play/work as intended.

For example: I've emulated some old RPG games where no matter what you did; your MC would start off with 1HP; other games would have a stutter; AI would act weird; even encountered one where the turn based game gave the enemy ai 5 turns in a row. So best option is to install the original OS as a 2nd OS or virtual machine. TheCriminalViolin 2016-03-02 0 point Windows versionI got to say, looking at all the screenshots, I'm actually quite saddened.

Mecc/The Learning Company simply rehashed the game ever since 2? Oregon Trail 5 was the one I had while in the 3rd-5th grade during lunch break, and this is literally the EXACT SAME GAME. I honestly see NOTHING different here. Did they seriously just simply rebrand it after 2 with 3,4 & 5? I love Oregon Trail Deluxe, always have, same with the rehash of deluxe, 1.2, and of course thoroughly enjoy OT5.

But this rehashing honestly is sad & kind aggravating.

Also ForDeveloped byPublished byReleasedPacingPerspectiveEducationalGenreSettingInterfaceGameplayVisualDescriptionAs a covered wagon party of pioneers, you head out west from Independence, Missouri to the Willamette River and valley in Oregon. You first must stock up on provisions, and then, while traveling, make decisions such as when to rest, how much food to eat, etc. The Oregon Trail incorporates simulation elements and planning ahead, along with discovery and adventure, as well as mini-game-like activities (hunting and floating down the Dalles River).From Mobygames.com. I love this game, especially considering the fact that I, someone growing up in the digital age, can sit through a game this old and not get bored just seems like a miracle to me. This game is thoroughly exciting because it has every element of fun that kids these days want to see, such as getting to name and semi-create their own characters, making decisions, such as when to buy food or new wagon wheels, or new oxen because your oxen either ran away or got stolen. It also forces you to think about the decisions you make first.

For example, becoming a carpenter means that you are more capable of fixing things than say a doctor, who is just as important because they can heal people. All in all, I was thoroughly impressed by this game! Just made it to Oregon on my first ever try of this game.

However, three of my party died when I tried to ford the first river crossing of the journey. Michael broke his arm twice, got dysentry, got typhoid twice, but he made it through with one other. Made it into the top ten.Might have to play it through again sometime to see the brutal difficulty I've heard about but didn't experience the first time through.Well made game and definitely worth a play if only to see how a predominantly text based game can still be playable this day in age. So I've been seen a lot of people writing, 'I couldn't get the game to work!' Immediately assuming that the game is terrible and they leave a bad review and leave.

All you really have to do is just reload the page a couple times and it should work fine. I've been playing this game every day for the past week and it works perfectly fine for me every time.This game was made in 1990, and I'm very surprised how popular and how much the game has grown.

I love this game so much and its very historically accurate. The Oregon Trail is a very fun game and it works fine.' Its quality is terrible!' Not all games that are great have good quality.

Stop expecting every game in 2018 to be amazing that are popular.' This game is trash!1!1! Nuuhhhh'Every one has their opinions about every game. If you're a history freak like I am, this game is very educational and fun.' I pressed the mute button and it froze.

Had to restart and lost data. Would be helpful if there was a save button.' Yes, the game's volume is broken.

Instead of trying to mute the game, just turn off your volume all together. A save button is not exactly needed because there's no save button on life, right?' There aren't even any in-app-purchases!' First off, this game isn't exactly for IOS or Andriod, meaning that this game is for chromebook/laptop/computer.Why would a game like this have in-app-purchases anyway?'

I was really excited to play this game but it wont load past adding the names.' For those of you who can't get past the part after entering names, if you pressed the shift button, you are stuck in caps lock. Pressing numbers will make the game think you're entering the numbers with the shift buttons. If you do not press the shift button and enter your names in lowercase, the game runs fine.Also shift works for me all the time and I'm on a school-issued chromebook so it works fine for me on chromebooks. I hope this helped you!:D. It was fun, but it has a few issues. The first I noticed was that it wouldn't accept numerical input from the keyboard numpad, which was weird.

The second was that, when hunting, it would occasionally 'stick' on shooting. That is to say, it thinks the spacebar remains pressed down when it isn't, and fires continuously. That was really annoying, considering how important resources are to this game.The most annoying part though was that when I went to leave this review, I didn't realize that unlike most sites it opens a new page - it doesn't have a box in the bottom hat expands, nor does a click open a new tab. No, it opened a new page.

Why was this a problem? Well, I wasn't done playing! Hi I am 11 years old. My aunt loves to play all the free games that she can, that she doesn't have to download on her own computer. One day I went over to her and said ' What are you playing?

' She said ' I'm playing The Oregon Trail. It's about 5 people who went across the Oregon trail and you have choices in the game whether to hunt, to trade, you can talk to people. ' I said ' Cool, is there any way I could try that game' She said sure. Ever sense she let me try that game 4 years ago I have fell in love with it. I play it every chance I have. I come home from school make sure no one is on the computer look up and start playing this game. I really love this game.

Keep making sure you make more games like this and you guys who haven't tried this game yet, should really try it. I just wanted also to thank my aunt for letting me play this game on her computer. If it wasn't for her I wouldn't be her right now, writing this response to this awesome and excellent game. Love this game, I remember playing the original. I see a lot of people say they can't walk while hunting but all you need to do is use the Enter key (Use the one on your number pad on your keyboard if the other doesn't work) Hit once to start walking and once to stop, using the directional keys to navigate.

It actually does say that in the pre-hunting screen where it tells you which arrows to use, at the top of the list, but it can be easy to skim over without actually reading. I hope this helps!;). Had it easy the entire way until we got to Fort Bridger. No grass and bad water 100 miles both ways. People at the fort said the hunting was good but the bears were as fast as jackrabbits and nothing but squirrels crossed my path.

The indians were all complaining about us white folk and my wagon mysteriously caught on fire as soon as I left. All my food and my bullets disappeared so it got rough for a while but somehow we made it. My entire family died on the Columbia but I made it across so 10/10. I heard about this game about three years ago. I'm really enjoying this game - I was about six when I first played it, and I never quite grasped the concept until I was older.A FEW TIPS:.HOW TO SAVE.When in the game window, hit the Esc key on your keyboard, and the game will ask you if you want to save. Then, when you resume the game, even opening and closing the webpage, it will offer to let you played your saved game. No more lost progress due to freezing!You're welcome:)DON'T LEAVE THE BROWSER UNTIL YOUR GAME IS OVER.

IT.MAY. RESET YOUR CONNECTION, FORCING YOU TO RESTART THE JOURNEY!

This is irrelevant if you make sure to save progress before exiting.The game will also freeze itself if you shift in and out of fullscreen, or leave the page to do other tasks. You'll have to refresh the page.When you're walking around as a hunter and bump into an obstacle, you stop - there is a small invisible square around the object, where it's been placed into the game; this is noticeable if you have a laptop - tilt your screen back a little, you'll see it very faintly against the black.Other than these quirks (understandable with outmoded technologies), this is a fun experience, and much better know that I know how to save progress - no more all-night journeys for me.Running ChromeOS on Acer Chromebook. This game also plays nicely hooked to an HDTV via HDMI.It's 25 years old (a year younger than me), people - stop complaining about in-game purchases. The only purchases you get are with in-game money or trading goods. Apps didn't come about until mobile devices were created.

Be grateful it's not a freemium game; that business model only serves the profits of the companies - enjoy this free of charge. For those of you who can't get past the part after entering names, if you pressed the shift button, you are stuck in caps lock.

Pressing numbers will make the game think you're entering the numbers with the shift buttons. If you do not press the shift button and enter your names in lowercase, the game runs fine.However, I would like to know if there's a way to disable shift/caps lock, for those who want to use capital letters when naming.

At least maybe offer a tutorial as to how MS-DOS works for newbies like me. Not sure why it wasn't working for others, but it seems to be working here.

I'm running a Mac with OS X 10.10.4 and the current version of Safari, so perhaps a recent Chrome or Firefox will help those who are having difficulty.Being an Oregonian, I just have this desire to find an information kiosk in the orleg building and somehow arrange for this game to wind up running on that machine. Might distract someone who'd otherwise introduce a stupid bill like yet another attempt to have an Oregon sales tax.;). What a great game. I never heard of it but had a lot of fun right up until I hit that last rock after the last marker.:(Those with probs need to try Google Chrome. I found that the numbers switch from the top to the keypad at the start of the game (when it asks the month) and that if you start another game they reverse (top keys vs keypad). Not very hard to figure out. And all the directions you need are plainly written.

Just read them. On the keypad, when hunting, the 7,9,1,3 buttons give you diagonal aiming and movement. Bullets seem the least critical of all supplies, btw, but get about 300 and you'll be fine. Unless you're a really lousy shot! ENJOY and good luck getting it to load. Oh, and you might read ALL the reviews to get some tips. Reading is FUNdaMENTAL!

Effing brilliant. And I mean that sincerely. This game is SO MUCH FUN. Unfortunately, I cannot complete my game MOST of time due to the game refusing input from the keyboard at random, requiring a refresh (google chrome.)All in all, I am thankful for the game being available on, but PLEASE try and work out the buggy controls in chrome (no other browsers would even do more than black screen) and fix the leaderboards.I rate this game 10/10 oxenMy high score is 7812. See if you can beat that! I took screenshots this time to be able to keep it because the Top 10 does not save:(.

For those of you below who can't find the hunt option, it appears when you hit the 'enter' key WHILE TRAVELING on the trail. Each hunt costs one day.

The travel screen gives you clues about good hunt locales. Green grass is good.

Yellow grass, bad water and poor graze areas are bad.You can only carry 100 pounds of food back to your wagon per hunt so don't waste bullets for overkill (which also makes further hunts in the area more difficult). A deer has around 75 pounds of food. Smaller game like birds and squirrels are worth less and are harder to kill thus wasting bullets unless you are a crack shot.Sadly, the biggest target and easiest kill is a buffalo. It's worth around 900 pounds of food so you must leave 800 pounds rotting in the sun. It's quite a guilt trip since several people you talk to lament all the buffalo killing going on.

Heh, another history lesson from OT I suppose.Ethics aside, hunting is obviously an essential skill for the higher levels. I haven't had any trouble running the game. Took me a while to figure out let you turn diagonal in hunting mode - not the number pad. Also, hitting enter makes your little guy walk so you can get to a better vantage point. For those who couldn't figure out how to hunt, just hit Enter at any point on the trail and it's option 8. I also thought the game was frozen, but I had somehow clicked off the screen - somewhere else on the page. When I clicked the game screen, there was a little blue border around it and I was back in the game!

Another time I thought it froze, but for some unknown reason, all of a sudden my number pad worked but my regular keyboard numbers weren't registering any more. So I just started using the number pad. (This didn't work the first time it happened, but I think number lock was off.)Great game, exactly like it was in the computer labs at school! Powerlisting game. I have shamelessly wasted the better part of a day off!:D.
