So after moving I ended up with boxes of stuff everywhere, some I haven’t even opened yet.
Today I didn’t have a lot to do and figured, what the hell, let’s pop em’ open.
I packed my stuff in a hurry so some stuff was boxes within boxes, stuff I already had stored but needed to move regardless because I wasn’t sure what was in there and didn’t want the hassle of organizing it.
Anyways, onto my point: I opened up one of the aforementioned boxes within a box to find a pile of CD’s in a pack labeled ‘windows 95 crap’. My heart skipped a beat, (how pathetic, I know) could this be…? YES!
I opened it up to find several older games on CD rom, all of which I now intend to play, but the holy grail of the bunch was staring me right in the face at the time. I am of course talking about… THE OREGON TRAIL DELUXE.
I had it in my CD drive before I knew it. After promptly selecting the banker, naming all of my crew expletives, and buying 20 oxen and damn near the maximum of everything else available, I was off! I learned a few things while playing as well, for example:
Did you know?
* 5 people working together can carry exactly 200 lbs of food. However if the other 4 should die and you’re left to carry the food by yourself… you still manage to carry 100 lbs…what the hell were they doing this whole time?!
*Thieves have tendencies to steal very odd amounts of things, such as 3 bullets and a shirt. Thieves along the trail were apparently very skilled as well, as they could sometimes manage to steal as many as 15 oxen at once without you noticing.
*If you’ve got a disease, but then you catch another disease, the first one somehow will go away.
…
Yeah enough of that.
Good day!
