I’m sure I’m not the only fan of the antiquated computer game. Does anyone know where I could find a list of the songs for each landmark, because my friend and I were arguing about the music for Chimney Rock.

Heh. I haven’t played [Oregon Trail](http://www.classicgaming.com/rotw/otrail.shtml) in a long time - our high school computer teacher must have been stuck for assignments, 'cause she once assigned marks for completing this game. (Incidentally, the Apple IIgs has an [emulator](http://www.tomcharlesworth.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/) available).

I couldn’t find anything on the web, so I’ve played the game. BB has dysentry, and YO MOMMA died tragically after breaking her leg, but I’ve made it to Chimney Rock. That tune is definately [Ault Lang Syne](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auld_Lang_Syne) (music available [here](http://web.ripnet.com/~nimmos/auld_lang_syne.html))
