The Oregon Trail

πŸŒΎπŸš€ Saddle up, pioneers! Today, we brave the wild frontier in The Oregon Trail — the legendary survival adventure from the golden age of DOS gaming - all running beautifully on the MiSTer FPGA! Watch as we risk life, limb, and sanity battling dysentery, broken wagons, and bad river crossings, with full commentary (and a lot of questionable decision-making).

The Oregon Trail first made its mark on PC and MS-DOS computers back when floppy disks ruled the land and beating the game basically made you a legend. Fun fact: In Japan, this classic was known as γ‚ͺレゴン・γƒˆγƒ¬γ‚€γƒ« (Oregon Toreiru) - yes, even Japanese gamers got a taste of wagon life and snake bites!

If you love retro games, MiSTer FPGA wizardry, or just enjoy watching people try (and often fail) to survive a pixelated 1800s, you’re gonna love this. Whether you’re a PC gaming veteran, a DOS nostalgia fan, or a MiSTer FPGA enthusiast who lives for that authentic experience, this journey west will hit you right in the feels.πŸ‘‰

Expect laughs, tragedy, and probably a few "you have died of dysentery" moments. Hit play, and let’s blaze that trail together!
