This is a photo of the Oregon Trail. The Oregon trail was a major part of the labor movement during the The Oregon trail allowed for migrants, looking for labor, to migrate out to the pacific northwest in search of labor, via a stable road system. May have gotten side tracked playing oregon trail. The Oregon Trail is a computer game originally developed by Don Rawitsch, Bill Heinemann, and Paul Dillenberger in 1971 and produced by MECC in 1974. The original game was designed to teach school children about the pioneer life on the Oregon Trail. The Oregon Trail was created in 1971 by three.
Elvie 2019-07-18 -1 point Windows versionI had trouble on windows 10 with all the suggested methods here. What worked for me was the fact I downloaded a program called Power2Go when I bought a CD drive for my laptop a couple months back. This program allowed me to right click the ISO file that extracted from the oregontrailii folder and mount it as a virtual drive. It asked me what I wanted to label the drive as (I picked D:) and then I went to the virtual D:otii drive it created for me and then then I went to WIN32 and open application file Setup32 and it installed it for me. To open the game I opened back up the d:otii and went to data and opened the OTII32 application file. Mine went to black screen then, but I hit the windows button and it minimized it to a playable window.
This may not be new info to some but I hope this helps anyone as confused as I was at first. Tempest 2017-08-09 8 pointsSo I couldn't figure out how to get this to run at first, but I poked around a bit and finally clicked not on the folder thing, but the Oregon Trail II file. Go to Win16 or Win32 ( I don't actually know the difference, except maybe the graphics??
Spewer. The jumps can get tricky in the tight quarters, but they're all doable if you just keep at it (keep in mind, you can run across those single gaps sometimes). Make your way down to the row with the switch and the exit, then across that row to the right for the switch then back across to the exit. You should only be dissolving two straight lines of blocks, don't go diagonally and while if you hold the space bar, don't hold the mouse button and stand directly against the block you're dissolving then all of the globules you fire should be gobbled up, make sure you quickly track down any strays and eat them before they can do any damage.
)) and double click on Setup.16 or Setup.32It should install the game, although I have noticed in my first attempt to play the game that it's a bit buggy, particularly when you go to the screen to check your supplies. It won't toggle back to the travel screen very easily.Hope this helps someone! Sal 2017-02-22 0 pointIn order for this to work; your best bet is to do a dual bootable OS setup with windows 98 as your secondary OS or use a virtual machine program.
There are ways to get this to work on Windows 10; however, from personal experience with emulators, work arounds in other games; the games don't always play/work as intended. For example: I've emulated some old RPG games where no matter what you did; your MC would start off with 1HP; other games would have a stutter; AI would act weird; even encountered one where the turn based game gave the enemy ai 5 turns in a row. So best option is to install the original OS as a 2nd OS or virtual machine. TheCriminalViolin 2016-03-02 0 point Windows versionI got to say, looking at all the screenshots, I'm actually quite saddened.
Mecc/The Learning Company simply rehashed the game ever since 2? Oregon Trail 5 was the one I had while in the 3rd-5th grade during lunch break, and this is literally the EXACT SAME GAME. I honestly see NOTHING different here.
Did they seriously just simply rebrand it after 2 with 3,4 & 5? I love Oregon Trail Deluxe, always have, same with the rehash of deluxe, 1.2, and of course thoroughly enjoy OT5.

But this rehashing honestly is sad & kind aggravating.

About This Site |
Laying the Telegraph Line across the plains Telegraph Line under construction 1861 Note, the message took almost 17 hours to cross the continent. The reason is that the electrical current fades with distance and, thus, the message was required to be taken down and relayed from station to station. Nevertheless and in contrast, in December 1859, it took seventeen days and twelve hours to transmit to California a copy of President Buchanan's message to Congress. Horseshoe Station, 1863, from a drawing by Carl F. Moellman Horseshoe Station was located near present-day Glendo. Although, the stage line moved further south to avoid Indians, it was still necessary for the telegraph stations to be protected by the military. Each became a small fortified cantonment. Horseshoe Station was burned by Indians in 1866. The Moellman drawings on this page and elsewhere on this site were drawn by Carl F. Moellman (1844-1902) who enlisted in the 11th Ohio Cavalry (Volunteers) from Hillsboro, Ohio, in 1863. Moellman was born in Prussia. In Wyoming, Moellman was primarily stationed at Fort Laramie. After the end of the Civil War, Moellman returned to Ohio where he became an artist and lithographer. The Eleventh Ohio Cavalry was organized by Col. William Oliver Collins after whom Fort Collins, Colorado, was named. Col. Collins' son, Caspar Wever Collins, after whom Casper, Wyoming is named, enlisted at the same time as Moellman. Following the death of Caspar Collins, the drawings by Moellman came into the possession of Josephine 'Josie' Collins, Caspar Collins' sister. Josephine gave them to John C. Friend who was also a member of the Eleventh Ohio and who enlisted at the same time as Caspar Collins. Friend participated in the battles near the Platte River Bridge at which Caspar Collins was killed. John C. Friend gave them to Dr. Grace Raymond Hebard who published them with E. A. Brininstool in their Bozeman Trail, Arthur H. Clark Company, Chicago, 1922, from which they have been scanned. Dr. Hebard in the introduction to The Bozeman Trail indicates that they are the only known contemporaneous illustrations of many of the stations. The original drawings are held by the University of Wyoming. Rocky Ridge Station, 1863, from a drawing by Carl F. Moellman Rocky Ridge Station is one whose location has been lost in the fog of history. There is no agreement as to its location. It was located someplace west of Three Crossing Station and east of of South Pass. Allegedly, it was the location where division superintendent Joseph A Slade killed Jules Benji, after whom Julesburg, Colorado is named, by tying Benji to a post in the station corral and through the night using Benji for target practice. See The Overland Stage. Sweetwater Station, 1863, from a drawing by Carl F. Moellman Sweetwater Station was about 2 miles to the northeast of Independence Rock. Notwithstanding, the closure of the Pony Express, the various stations remained open for a time as telegraph and stage stations and as small military posts in which small detachments of soldier were stationed to guard the vital link to California. In the early 1860's as discussed on the subsequent pages, Indian attacks became more frequent on the stage and telegraph stations along the Oregon Trail. One former pony express rider, William F. Cody, later observed:
As a result after Ben Holladay took over the Overland Stage Line, the trail was moved further south and the old Oregon Trail was essentially abandoned for civilian use in favor of the Overland Trail and the Cherokee Trail discussed on later pages. Military units, nevertheless, were required to protect the telegraph line along the old Emigrants Road. Three Crossing Station, 1863, from a drawing by Carl F. Moellman Three Crossing Station took its name in that within one and a half miles of the station, one crossed the Sweetwater three times. It was located about 18 miles northwest of Independence Rock.
