Oregon Trail Ii Game
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?? )) 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.
If the fortress is completely destroyed, you lose. If the enemies enter the castle, a part of the fortress will be destroyed, as indicated by the life gauge. To do so, simply click the Buy and Sell buttons at the bottom left corner of the screen. Castle defense.
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.
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 realities of 19th century pioneer life on the Oregon Trail. The player assumes the role of a wagon leader guiding his party of settlers from Independence, Missouri, to Oregon's Willamette Valley over the Oregon Trail via a Conestoga wagon in 1848. The game has been released in many editions since the original release by various developers and publishers who have acquired rights to the game.HuntingAn important aspect of the game was the ability to hunt. Using guns and bullets purchased over the course of the game, players select the hunt option and hunt wild animals to add to their food reserves.
In the original version, there were no graphics and players were timed on how fast they could type 'BANG,' 'WHAM,' or 'POW,' with misspelled words resulting in a failed hunt. Later, players would control a little man who was capable of pointing a rifle in eight directions and firing single shots at animals.
In later versions, players hunted with a crosshair controlled by the mouse. Bison were the slowest moving targets and yielded the most food, while rabbits and squirrels were fast and offered very small amounts of food. Deer (eastern section) and elk (western section) were in the middle in terms of speed, size, and food yield; bear were between bison and deer in all three properties. While the amount of wild game shot during a hunting excursion is limited by only the player's supply of bullets, the maximum amount that can be carried back to the wagon is 100 pounds in early versions of the game. In later versions, as long as there were at least two living members of the wagon party, 200 pounds could be carried back to the wagon. It was extremely common for players to kill several thousand pounds worth of animals, only to waste the large majority of it. Some would consider this a realistic representation of the wild west.
Also in the later version, you could hunt in different environments. For example, hunting during winter would result in graphics showing grass covered in snow.DeathThroughout the course of the game, members of your party could fall ill and die from a variety of causes, such as measles, snakebite, dysentery, typhoid, cholera, and exhaustion. People could also die from drowning or a broken leg. Your oxen were also subject to illness and death. When one of your party members dies, a funeral is briefly held, at which you may write a suitable tombstone epitaph, and after which you continue down the trail.ScoringAt the conclusion of the journey, points are awarded according to a formula weighted by the profession chosen (points are doubled for a carpenter and tripled for a farmer), the number and health of surviving family members, remaining possessions, and cash on hand.
