It is what I remember,

Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Oregon Trail 5th Edition (Software)
I remember this game when I was in grade 3 and I have been waiting for my daughter to reach the same grade so I could order it! The graffix are obviously better as computers just came out back then ;)
It is just what I remember but better. Finding the stuff at the stores to purchase is a little frustrating, and I would like to be able to save the game on the disk and not my computer. Other than that it was a good purchase.

Too many bugs,
By llyanatc - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Oregon Trail 5th Edition (Software)
Oregon Trail is an excellent educational series, but I warn you to stay away from this version. For one thing, I think the "5th edition" claim is not true; its quality is greatly inferior to my 3rd edition and I suspect it is just a refurbished earlier edition. I never got Oregon Trail 2, so I don't know if this is the same, but the technology used is reminiscent of the mid-ninties.
In the process of remaking it, many technical bugs have crept in: for example, the fishing is completely broken and the installation froze my computer for quite a while and tried to install it twice for some reason. The game is in low resolution and 16-bit color, and although it changes your screen to be compatible with the game when starting, it does forget to change it back after you exit. You may have to restart the computer to get your settings back to normal, since you may not be able to get to the buttons on the settings panel at that resolution. The ability to travel several other trails at different times and from different places is a really nice touch. Maybe a different release would be less problematic. 15 of 15 people found the following review helpful:

The original was the best...,
By TM0ney "Tyler C." - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Oregon Trail 5th Edition (Software)
First of all, this is EXACTLY like oregon trail 2 except they add in some content from 3 and 4, plus the absolutely idiotic animation that has nothing to do with YOUR trip most of the time and just gets in the way.
But besides that, its not too horrible. I've loved all the versions of Oregon Trail i've played, which is pretty much all of them, and this one is at least consistent with the series, although i think the designers ran out of ideas and just threw all of them together and called it the "5th edition". So, all in all, its ok, but i'd suggest getting the original version if you can find it, it's by far the best and works even on an XP and mostly likely on a Vista, and is the most fun. 24 of 29 people found the following review helpful:

Oregon Trail,
By Jennifer L. Green "J Green" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Oregon Trail 5th Edition (Software)
Do NOT buy this product. The information stated it was compatible with windows vista, however, my new computer would not even recognize the CD. Needless to say I am very unhappy!
