A history of The Oregon Trail series and the traveling games it inspired
Ford the river or pay for a ferry, shoot enough buffalo to trigger an extinction event, name a character after a pet dog then look on in horror as they die of dysentery - all familiar experiences to those who grew up playing The Oregon Trail. This classic educational computer game, a mainstay on school computers ever since the 1970s, had a huge, if at the time subtle, impact on the development of the nascent video game industry.
The Unsung Innovators Who Created Oregon Trail For Their Classroom The designer and programmers of the original Oregon Trail - Don Rawitsch, Bill Heinemann, Paul Dillenberger - technically didn't earn a single cent from their highly influential creation. In various interviews, this trio of developers seems mostly content about its lack of royalties from the Oregon Trail educational game and franchise.
How Oregon Trail Became A Successful Computer Game Franchise The original 1971 The Oregon Trail was a smash hit with students, and when the time came to delete it from the Minneapolis school district's computer servers, Don Rawitsch and his associates printed out a paper copy of the game's source code, a common practice in the days before personal computers and portable storage mediums like CDs or floppy disks.
How Oregon Trail Evolved As Computer Technology Grew More Sophisticated As mentioned above, the earliest versions of Oregon Trail were essentially text adventure video games that players interacted with by typing text commands. This swiftly changed as the publishers of Oregon Trail distanced themselves from the old university computer system and started releasing versions of the game on personal computers.
