Oregon Trail Deluxe

Choose a profession, gather supplies, and prepare to embark on a journey to settle in a new land in this historical edutainment game - Oregon Trail Deluxe. Released in 1992 as part of the popular Oregon Trail game series, Deluxe offers many new features and improvements from previous titles including a more intuitive hunting mode, and mouse support that makes the game a lot easier to navigate around.

Developed by Minnesota Educational Computing Consortium (MECC), this educational game is based on real events that happened in the USA. In this game, the player must cross the titular Oregon trail along with a group of settlers while fighting against all kinds of difficulties including food shortages, diseases, and lots of possible deaths from all kinds of sources.

Even if it's meant as an educational tool for younger minds, the game is known for its unforgiving difficulty - making it unbeatable to most young children. However, if a player manages to complete the journey, points will be tallied according to the starting profession, number of settlers that arrived safely, remaining cash, and more.

Oregon Trail Deluxe remains one of the most popular educational strategy games in gaming history and it even has a series of promotional merchandise. As it was bundled into many computers back in the 1980s-2000s, the game became very popular with American school students. As a matter of fact, the Oregon Trail is being remade over and over again and is made available to lots of different platforms, even mobile devices.
