OG Trail - Travel to Oregon

About this game

OG Trail - makes playing the classic Oregon Trail simulation possible and easy on Android devices.

OG Trail is not the game itself and does not contain or require any ROM to play.
OG Trail simply provides an interface to the publicly available Internet Archive posting of the streaming version of that game found here: https://archive.org/details/msdos_Oregon_Trail_The_1990

This requires internet to load, but does not use any data after that.

Instructions for new users or testers:
OG Trail lets you play an unmodified version of The Oregon Trail (TM) game. As such, you don't tap on the game itself to interact with it as the game wasn't made originally for touchscreens. Instead you use the onscreen keyboard or onscreen control pad to interact with the game. For example, when the game gives you a set of choices, you click the number on the keyboard or control pad that matches your choice and then hit the enter button. If the game give you a yes/no question, you can either type "y" or "yes" for affirmative and "n" or "no" for negative and then hit the enter button using the onscreen keyboard. Alternatively you can hit the check mark for affirmative or the x for negative on the onscreen control pad.

Ratings and reviews

This app basically emulates the original game and updates it for modern phones. It even uses the same controls, which take some getting used to. A wonderfully faithful recreation of the original Oregon Trail. Don't download expecting flashy graphics or sound. This is how the game looked decades ago. Highly recommend for fans of the original.

Apparently doesn't work. When opened, attempts to download an update file, fails to connect to a server, then displays an error message. Edit: Despite the developer's comment on my review, there has been no change in behavior. in fact, having seen them make similar comments on other reviews, I've been attempting to run the game at least once a day since purchase. my experience has never changed - the game does not work and is fully unplayable

I'm so happy to finally get to play this one mobile! Loved this game growing up, even better being able to play on the go. App could use a little work. IMPORTANT TIPS TO NEW USERS: Be sure to save your progress every single time you open the app! Do not change any settings while the app is running, it'll reboot without saving and delete save. I have lost a game by turning off Bluetooth, wifi, and turning on dark mode so just dont mess with your setting without saving.
