You will have to buy, trade or hunt for food (some areas are better for hunting than others). On the way some hardships can happen (snake bites, blizzards, cholera, oxen deaths…), so make sure you get enough rest and keep an eye on the food supply. You can also trade things with the people on the way, you can just buy something from them or try to trade, but there’s never a guarantee that they’ll have what you need. You can buy supplies at all the army forts on your way (if you reach them), and the prices will rise depending on the distance covered away from “the civilization”. You need to supply yourself at Independence and then take off. It’s a sort of encyclopedia containing information about the places you get to see on the game. The game is quite a guide book you can use and learn from. This means that the graphics are nice colorful VGA in high (640X480) resolution, the game is fully mouse controlled, and there are some Soundblaster sounds setting the mood (but not really much of them – neither are there many sound effects). The version you will try and hopefully like is the Deluxe version of the game. You start, at Independence, Missouri and you have to reach to Oregon. The idea is simple you’re leading a wagon of settlers over the wild territory heading to the west.
The first Oregon Trail game was made way back in 1982.
