The Oregon Trail

The Oregon Trail is an educational computer game developed by Don Rawitsch, Bill Heinemann and Paul Dillenberger in 1971 and produced by MECC in 1974. The game was inspired by the real-life Oregon Trail and was designed to teach school children about the realities of 19th century pioneer life on the trail. The player assumes the role of a wagon leader guiding his party of settlers from Independence, Missouri, to Oregon's Willamette Valley by way of the Oregon Trail via a Conestoga wagon in 1848.

Journey back to 1848 and become a pioneer on your way to a new life in the Oregon territory. But first you must master the challenge of the hazardous cross-country trek from Independence, Missouri, to Oregon's Willamette Valley. So grab your hat, hitch up your oxen, and experience the adventure and excitement of MECC's The Oregon Trail.
