[livejournal.com profile] darthrami set it up for me.

I also have dysentery, or at least, food poisoning.

But! Laptop! Working laptop!

With Oregon Trail on it. Ah ha ha ha *shoots things* ha.

It's for writing, actually, so we'll see.

Shoot the slow-moving buffalo!

But you can only carry 200 pounds of meat back to camp, darnit.

Dude! The new version is distressingly low on buffalo! You get to shoot, like, goat! And prairie dog! And dazzling aerial geese! But in two games, I only saw two buffalo!

They also let you buy isopropyl alcohol now at the trading posts. I don't think that's quite right.

I played the new version with my niece (who was v. angry that all her people died and I actually won, since it was her game) and I saw that you could buy the isopropyl alcohol. And laudanum! And all this other stuff whose effectiveness has been disproved by modern medicine.

All the food I bought in the stores were fruits and vegetables, and I hunted for all the meat. All of my niece's people died of scurvy, after all.

What got me? Why is it the Oregon Trail if everybody's going to Salt Lake City? And why, when one of the people breaks a bone, is one of the choices "Exercise the wounded limb"?

Aah, Oregon Trail. Computer game of my childhood. *shot the heck out of buffalo and bear and deer*

And then several years later, when I tried to play it on a modern computer? I couldn't shoot them! They were moving way too fast!

In the new version there are stampedes, but if you shoot too many buffalo, you're wounded by accidental gunshot from another settler. Way to be environmentally enlightening!
