Oregon Trail II
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oregon Trail II is a video game released by MECC in 1996 as a revised version of the original Oregon Trail computer game. It was redesigned with the help of American Studies PhD Wayne Studer. In contrast to the original version of the game, Oregon Trail II made an effort to include greater roles for women and racial minorities.
In addition to the regular edition, MECC released a 25th Anniversary Limited Edition Oregon Trail II Computer Game. It came with an Official Strategy Guide, CD, Certificate of Authenticity and Wooden Storage Box.
[edit] Gameplay
This version of the game includes far more detail than the original. For instance, rafting down the Columbia River is a much greater challenge than it was in the original Oregon Trail. Whenever an accident happens, the game ceases and the player must decide what to do in response. Players are also able to talk with other settlers along the way and ask their advice when needed.
This version also allowed the player to choose between 20 years of travel (rather than 1 in the original) from 1840 to 1860. Also, there are four possible destinations: Oregon City, Sacramento, the Willamette Valley, or Salt Lake City.
