Gameloft Giving Away The Oregon Trail for iPhone

Tuesday September 27, 2011 6:47 pm PDT by Jordan Golson
The Oregon Trail is a classic educational travel game following a family heading west from Independence, Missouri to Oregon, during the gold rush in 1848.

The official iPhone port of Oregon Trail is being offered free for a limited time by developer Gameloft as a promotion for the release of its sequel, The Oregon Trail: American Settler.

Assume the role of a wagon leader in a side-view journey where your strategic decisions must ensure the safety of your party along the treacherous Oregon Trail. Overcome the perilous journey to Oregon in America’s Wild West. Just like the real pioneers, experience the decision-making, problem-solving, and role-playing fun of this historical event. A unique strategy/educational game relating the first pioneers’ journey to Western American.


The Oregon Trail is normally $0.99 from the App Store, currently free for "a few days." [iTunes]

not nearly as fun as the original. it has stupid micro transactions for items which kills the mood of the game.

This isn't the Oregon Trail you grew up with on the Apple IIe. More like a collection of minigames.

Apparently they've changed the game to include a currency you have to purchase through in-app purchases in order to play. Although the game used to have almost 5 stars, most of the new ratings are much lower. Too bad.
