Played The Oregon Trail in school? The classic classroom frontier game has had a modern day makeover.
An ambitious promotional tool from Travel Oregon, a “semi-independent” agency created by the Oregon Legislature, Travel Oregon: The Game is an homage to the educational staple, allowing you to explore all seven regions of the state.
The game isn’t produced by the original team, according to Munchies, but it has the same 8-bit look and addictive nature. The game’s goal, as tradition stipulates, is to keep morale high, while playing different activities — or you’ll be writing tombstones. Read more…
