The Classic

Today I decided to clean up my computer a little bit. You know, the typical reorganization of mp3's, movies, and other documents. While searching through my "My Documents" folder, I came across a folder entitled "Oregon Trail." I forget where I even got the program, but sure as shit, there it was. I played it for about an hour straight.

If you were in grade school in the early Nineties, your computer room was pretty much issued copies. Yet somehow I only managed to beat the game a handful of times. I always seemed to get robbed or plagued with Cholera or Dysentary; or starving to death for lack of food and bullets. And then I'd always lose my shit in the river when I tried to cross.
