Oregon Trail Street Sign - Neatorama

Excuse me, did the Oregon Trail really go through Los Angeles? Jeff Wysaski of Pleated-Pants created this thought-provoking street poster. Link -Thanks, Jeff!

This just made me smile very broadly, thank you.

I keep seeing stuff about this game all over the internet. I am a 31 year old man and I have never played nor seen this game. Is it just me?

@Aaron: No, I've never seen it either until now.

Y'all should read about it:

I remember that it came with the used Apple II we got in the mid-80s.

Put a big smile on my face, too!

@Aaron and GailPink- I'm guessing you're in the minority. It's pretty legendary. We were introduced to the Oregon Trail computer game in Middle School as a learning aid to help us with US history. It's morphed quite a bit since then. I saw (here or on Mental Floss) recently that the game is actually from the 70's.

If you look closely, I think they all say "You have died of dysentery" on the back.
