Review
------
Sometimes you have to take two steps back to take one step
forward. That holds true for this "new" version of Oregon Trail,
which is actually based on the older, more stable second edition
of the game; one of the last products produced by the respected
Minnesota publisher MECC. Children start their trek westward by
typing in their name, profession, and the names of people in
their party. They then navigate through a series of complex menus
to purchase supplies and stock their wagon. Unfortunately, some
of the flaws with version two have also been carried into this
edition. Children often overload their wagon, and the program
doesn't help them visualize what they have. Kids also have
trouble with some new phrases that could be better defined, such
as "caulk the wagons" and "ford the river". Along the trail, it
is possible to hunt, fish and interact with characters. So what's
different? At each main break in the adventure, children can
listen to campfire stories about three real life children who
actually traveled the Oregon Trail. Our testers loved these
vignettes and felt like they helped them better understand what
the journey was really like. The children's journal is also on
the CD as a PDF file, which makes good reading. Despite its
flaws, this edition of Oregon Trail is the best yet, and a great
way to experience American history. -- From Children's Software
