Oregon Trail Alive, But Maybe Not So Well

Oregon Trail was a hit in my day. I have fond memories playing that game for hours in school. There was so much action: hunting, infectious diseases, floods and thieves.  I have to say though, I don't know if I ever finished a game (the class bell always came too soon).  I'll go ahead and assume that if you were alive at the end, you won. As one of my favorites growing up, I was excited to hear they are releasing Oregon Trail for the iPhone. According to LA Times, the new Gameloft version doesn't exactly live up to the riveting original green on black game we all loved. However, I was happy to learn the next-gen game allows you to save your progress every five minutes. With that capability, I'm tempted to jump in a wagon and finish (barring a Typhoid outreak).
