Everyone played it. You didn't have to be born in the Willamette valley to enjoy it.
I went to Eugene awhile back, and it seems everyone in the area has a special affection for the game, but I think almost everyone else in America did, too.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
I'm pretty sure it's a mandatory part of US education. I think there's even a section for it on the SATs.

Wow, I do have to say it was weird when I saw Willamette Valley and Eugene. I lived in Springfield.(Which by the way is the Springfield from the Simpson, I don't care what any contest says about it.) Yeah, being a Oregonian I do feel a connection to the Oregon Trail, along with Lewis and Clark as when we learn state history both are covered and then covered again in US history. Another question. Does Eugene rep for being full of hippies seem true? or are you not even aware of such a rep? |
Yes, Eugenes rep is absoutely true. I knew about it prior to visiting the city.
Its incredibly leftist. Its a fantastic city though - very beautiful. But the people are nuts. I went to the park once for a company picnic, and there were people having sex in the park no more than 20 yards from where we were.....It was very...Odd. Especially for someone from the midwest.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
Only two computers had Oregon Trail on them, and it was the game to play. All the kids would sign up to play and got time to play.It was okay, but while everyone fought over their turn, I would sit in the corner playing Wher in the World is Carmen Sandiego

I live in Michigan and I remember playing it in elementary school.
On the Apple ][ version, when you died you could leave a message on a tombstone that other players could read.
I think that feature was a mistake. 
Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.

You should have included the description:
