StaceyPowers Posted March 19, 2019 Posted March 19, 2019 Saw a reference to The Oregon trail on TV the other day, and all those memories came flooding back. Namely dying … and dying … and dying. That seriously was one of the hardest games ever, lol. Who here is old enough to remember playing that as a kid? Did you enjoy it, or did it also drive you crazy with frustration? It’s occurred to me that in its way, it actually laid quite a bit of important groundwork far beyond the educational sphere. I recall resource management being part of the game in a more elaborate fashion than was typical in those days. I imagine that a lot of devs called on that as inspiration while creating other games later.
