Oregon Trail 1991?[edit]

why is no one talking about Oregon trail 1991? was it unpopular? If anyone has any answers on how to get the most points or such, please add on to this. 73.65.25.116 (talk) 02:30, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about the series of games as a whole and as such not a place for WP:GAMECRUFT in one specific release. Whether the version from 1991 was unpopular or not, I don't know. You're free to research about it and post your findings. –Vipz (talk) 02:53, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Can someone clean up the early game version section?[edit]

It lists a lot of repeating ports and in general makes it harder to follow the early series.

The TL:DR is, there are effectively 3 main released versions, with minor tweaks between releases. Version 1 is Text Only from the 70s and early 80s. Version 2 is the basic graphics one that's probably the most well known on Apple II and DOS. Version 3 is the 1991 one that got released wih bugfixes as Deluxe and then later as just The Oregon Trail(which would be Game 1 that 2 and 3rd edition were sequels too).

You can still list the different specific releases, but can we simplify it a bit? 2604:3D09:1F80:CA00:D49D:74B8:35AA:3921 (talk) 19:26, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
