Games

If you are about the same age as me(28), your probably remember playing Oregon Trail on the AppleIIE Computers. Of course there have been many remakes over the years, but that original game was just so much fun and so addicting.

Well, Now you can play Oregon Trail on FaceBook! You build up your party either with fictitious names or from people that you know from your contact list, buy supplies and choose a profession. After that... You are on your way!

It doesn't take much to get started, and you will notice that all of your party members now have health, as well as your wagon. In addition to extra status bars, you also have mini-games within Oregon Trail. You can explore the immediate area to try to find something useful, go hunting, or repair your wagon. All three games use Energy, which refresh at 1 per 60 seconds.

Traveling requires stamina. Traveling faster uses more stamina than traveling slower. You also have to keep track of your food like in the original. Hunting is a little different as well. Now in addition to the squirrels, you have bears and other animals that will try to attack you when you shoot at them.

Like most of the other FB games, there are advanced, or premium, features. You can definitely play the game without the features, but if you want to spend real money, you can buy upgrades for your wagon, get better items... etc.

This game is about as addicting as the original Oregon Trail. I have already lost many hours into the game and am quite enjoying it.
