I sure do. In fact, I was just playing it only moments ago. That game was so rad when I was a kid. We would all go to the computer lab, and we would either pick between this and the paper airplane game. I would almost always pick Oregon Trail. In our lab, there were two color computers, and the rest were all green and black:
I remember getting to use the color computers fairly often, because teachers have always loved me.
Anyway, what I liked to do was the hunting portion. However, playing it today, I got WAAAAAY bored with that. Of course, the rest of the game isn't that great, either.
In fact, fuck this game!! This game sucks!
I'm sure I'll play it again in the morning.
P.S.
How does a thief steal five fucking oxen in the middle of the night without anyone noticing? This is bullshit!

FINALLY! a game i can comment on....
really? oregon trail sucks when you play it nowadays? that's too bad. i like to remember it as being awesome. my favorite quality of the game was being able to name your characters. when i was grade school i always named them after myself, my two best girlfriends, and the one guy i had a crush on that particular week.
it was always him that broke a leg/got a snake bite/ became ill, and eventually died. in all honesty, it made me genuinely sad for the rest of my thursday (computer lab day) afternoons.
PS
Did the paying the Indian ever actually increase anyone's odds of "safely" crossing the river???
This game was always super exciting when I was younger.
So in response to your statement/question, "How does a thief steal five fucking oxen in the middle of the night without anyone noticing?" This is what you would call "Cattle Rustling." Cattle Rustlers were cowboys gone bad...stealing was there profession. And it's not like they had a portable corral to keep live stock in. Sure you might have a night watchmen...but he's probably pretty tired considering they walked like 16 miles in a day, so there might be a small chance that he would fall asleep. The other option i've often read about is corralling them in a circle with the wagons...but then everything would smell all night and be noisy.
I guess the "Indians" could of stolen the cattle/oxen....but it wouldn't surprise me if they could steel more than five oxen without anyone noticing.
indians are super sneaky.
have you seen their war makeup?
awesome camoflauge.
fuck-i mispelled that.
but what about crossing rivers???
