C’mon, you know you’ve been wanting to harken back to the olden days and take on Oregon Trail as it was meant to be played: on a 1 Mhz machine with 64 kb of RAM…
To play these games, you’ll have to use Internet Explorer (I know, I know: thus is the price of living in the past), and allow the site to install an ActiveX app to get the emulator up and going.
It’s worth it, I tell you, to see either the ProDos or Apple IIgs screen pop up. 
I first played Oregon Trail on a teletype machine tucked into a small back room of my Elementary school’s library. We could tell a bear attack was coming when the machine would start to type bold. So isn’t that how it was meant to be played?
But I will play it. I show a rainbow cable into my G4 cube for the nostalgia. 
I’ll shove a rainbow cable into…
man, can I blame the new look on my typos?
A teletype machine, really? :eek:
There are few things I enjoy more than a rousing time of playing the Oregon Trail Drinking Game.
Get five people together and use the names for the family members in the game.
If your person breaks an arm, take a drink. If you get typhus, take two drinks. If you drown, finish the bottle. The rest of the rules write themselves, really…
Try playing everything on the fastest speed possible. Makes me remmeber all of those games written for the 12 MHz 8086 processors, and played on the 25 MHz machines. It’s like being on crack and speed and LSD and 'shrooms and… where was I again?
aww, I can’t get where in the world is carmen sandiego to work. 
Ooh, I’m gonna go play Oregon Trail! I LOVED that game back in fifth grade! It was one of the perks of being in the gifted program, we got to play lots of it…
Sigh. No workie in Mozilla.
Ah they have C’est La Vie. Awesome. Thanks for the link.
Heck, in my day, we played Oregon Trail on an etch-a-sketch operated by a trained seagull.
The only way we knew a bear was coming was by the menacing glint in that old gull’s eye. The good one, I mean.
Good times, good times.
All right, I made it alive. But I know I could do much better way back when. Heh. All this 80s nostalgia stuff would annoy me, if it wasn’t so damn much fun.
AZTEC rules… I am SOO looking forward to getting off work!! I am gonna go home and get apple II’d OUT!
And how would I go about playing any of these games? I’m tryin’ to play Oregon Trail, but I just get a screen of alternating black and white spots.
What was the name of the game with the little turtle triangle, and when given coordinates, would draw pictures?
Nevermind… Google is my friend. 
Actually I can’t get any of them to work, one disk or another “fails to load” and I get the “Check startup device” message. Can’t see what I could be doing wrong here, anyone get it to work?
Well? What was the name? I wanna play that again too!
The ‘game’ in question was a programming language called ‘Logo’, IIRC. I begged my folks to get it for me one year, and lo and behold, I got it. I think my brother still has the disks and manual… Somewhere…
I think I’ll stick with my actual Apple II thankyouverymuch. I’ve still got Q*Bert and Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Choplifter, David’s Midnight Magic, Sammy Lightfood, Arcade Boot Camp, and a crapload of other games. Think I’ll go drag it out of the closet tonight
