Oregon Trail downloads rock. Why? Because no other game makes you feel like you're twelve years old again, and no other game had such a positive impact on the learning experience of so many. Do you remember those grinding, old Apple computers, and thinking up the best gross-out names for your character?

The Oregon Trail game has the distinction of being one of the first truly fun educational games on the market - and it got wide play in our nation's schools. Where else would you learn to spell the word dysentery?

Not only did we learn to spell it, we learned what it is and why it can mess up a human endeavor quicker and badder than almost anything else. In the developed world, dysentery has gone the way of the dodo, but it still haunts the undeveloped world, killing children, and making whole villages, even whole cities, miserable. Without the singular experience of playing the Oregon Trail game, many young adults wouldn't have a clue as to how deadly and swift an enemy dysentery is.

The lessons on dysentery and other historically significant diseases is just one small aspect of the learning experience offered by the Oregon Trail. By plopping your online persona down in an iffy survival situation you quickly learn vital critical thinking skills -- for example, if I hunt all the buffaloes to extinction -- then what will I eat tomorrow? You learn to plan, think ahead and reserve your resources. All very practical skills for anyone, at any time or era.

If you haven't ever played the game the Oregon Trail, give it a go.
