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]

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