A New Generation Hits the Oregon Trail
Author: PC-Buyer
When I was growing up, typing classes were still taught on a manual typewriter and the only computer in my classroom throughout elementary school was a severely dated Apple II. Some of my fondest academic memories have nothing to do with term papers, homework assignments or lab projects. Playing “The Oregon Trail” was an educational experience in itself. The game taught kids to ration food and provisions, to think critically about the supplies required to survive and many other valuable skills.
When I saw an Apple iBook for sale online, I immediately purchased it for my young son. I knew about Apple’s rich tradition of educational computer games, and sought out an “Oregon Trail” CD ROM among other games. While the graphics on MacBook games might be vastly superior, the quality of game play is just as good on this platform as any other Apple computer.
