I worked hard to get the most stars per week in grade school because on Friday, the kid with the most stars got to play games on the Apple II GS. It was either Oregon Trail or Number Munchers. That all backfired when the teacher said I wasn’t allowed to win anymore and to this day, I think that’s where my extreme complacency comes from. I stopped trying to get stars. Meh.

The Classic 1985 Apple II Version
This is the classic version of The Oregon Trail that launched the second generation of the game. When you arrive at this website, look for the "Load" buttons, which are marked with file folder icons. First click the “Load” button for Drive 1, then choose “Educational”, and then “Oregon Trail – Disk 1”. You should also load Disk 2 to Drive 2, or else you will need to change to Disk 2 when you get halfway to Oregon.
(link should have Disk 1 and 2 preloaded)
