I think I found the game on the web. I don't remember if it was via an emulator or what, but it pretty much looked and worked exactly as it had back on the Apple IIe computers in my elementary school way back when, including the MECC splash screen.

Oregon trail was pretty much my favorite apple game for years, so much so that when my mother finally retired the Apple IIE from her 1st grade classroom (1982-2005), I jacked it, complete with color monitor and oregon trail floppies, and have been preserving it for my daughter, who's now 7 months old. I figure a computer on which one can learn to program and smear peanut butter with relative impunity is the perfect machine for a toddler. Thanks for reviving those memories earlier than I'd intended. Best wishes! (and I promise I'll start my next site on dreamhost instead of that daddy host) howdy Dallas, I was a classmate of yours at HMC for one year waaaay back in the day, lovely to see you’ve made a good thing for youserlf.
