For playing as the teacher:
-Start with 7 oxen, 10 sets of clothes, 20 boxes of bullets, 2 spares of each of the wagon parts, and save about $40 for tolls. You only need about 100 pounds of food to start, because you can hunt as soon as you leave Independence.
-If you hunt often and only shoot at large game (bison, elk, and bears), it's easy to stay at maximum food capacity. When you get to a fort, you can trade away your excess food for other items by re-asking to trade until your trading partner wants food. This lets you build up your oxen, clothes and wagon parts.
-Stay at "filling" rations and a "strenuous" pace, unless someone is sick or the party's health drops to poor. If someone is sick or the party's health is poor, rest for 7-8 days.
-Your final score depends on how many living party members you have, and on their health. Rest until your party is healthy before entering Willamette Valley.
This shit is ass
Tips 4 Oxen Is meh, Pick Doctor
Only, And GO AS FAST AS YOU CAN, 1000 Pounds of Food Is Good, Eat as Little You Can, And Zeke Is Cool Second Run Win
Refreshing to play again, first run lost almost everyone, despite being a doctor!S econd run I ended with $1000 and everyone alive and in good health as a teacher hell yeah!
This game is so amazing! Every time I end up playing this game everyone dies from snake bites!!!! I remember first playing this game on my DOS, it was such a great experience!
So happy I beat this game, never beat it as a kid. Something always happened at the rivers and everyone drowned or died from dysentery. comment below me has very good tips. followed it, played as teacher and the game was really easy. Couple things I would add is save 5 dollars for the first ferry for the river, and rest whenever someone is sick or poor health, 7 days is usually enough, and when hunting just wait for bison/elk/bear, 200 lbs is the limit with 8~9 oxen. Grueling pace is fine until right before the end, slow the pace and rest so that everyone is at good health when you finish. Use saves.
My tips for a high score -
Teacher has the worst starting benefits but the highest bonus multiplier at the end.
Start with 8 oxen, a few sets of clothes, 20 cases of bullets, 3 spare wheels, axels, and tongues, and ~500 lbs of food.
The trick is to hunt every day or two that you move along the trail. Only shoot at Buffalo, Elk, Bears, or deer, in that order.
You can hit trade anytime and spam offers to get whatever you want until you get an offer to pay in food. Don't even waste time clicking no, just click trade again when they say nobody has that to spare or gives a trade offer you don't want.
In this way you can easily max out oxen (20) and clothing sets (50) long before the end game just by trading food that you hunt.
Also just general gameplay tip, leave in April or May at the latest so you can hit rest anytime someone gets sick/injured/exhausted and burn time to keep them alive. You can still get bad RNG and have party members die but it helps a lot to rest for several days whenever there's a malady.
Trade early to have some money and clothing sets available to pay for a guide/ferry if available at river crossings. If that's not an option, always caulk and float the wagon if the river is deeper than 3 feet.
Good luck pioneers!
Ah damnnn, nearly made it. Raft bit, died just before the end! Ahh so glad I've found this game again.
Can't play on my phone without Bluetooth mouse. Darn you dosbox!!
Will these people stop getting bit by snakes? What are they doing, constantly playing with them?
It was easier than I thought it would be. For some reason, at the end point counting, it counted my people as "poor health", even though the health was "Fair" all the way... Good game!
I finally got on the list of legends! :)
i made it! im on the list of legends! ( happy dance ). you can do it too! follow your dreams, never give up ilysm :)
BLACKSMITH 4272 RESTARTED 2X CUS OF RIVER PROBLEMS

I fell down on the river so many times and died.

The snakessssssssssss ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Why are there no popups for all the events? There should be a pop up every time someone gets sick or no water or whatever.
I LOVE THIS
Hi, MyAbandonware friends! Sorry about my earlier posts on this page - yes, I now understand that online scores aren't shared and I hope you'll accept my apologies for my stupid complaints! As we've recently shared messages one-to-one, I think you'll know that I now understand the situation. Please delete any or all of my previous posts that you feel are inappropriate or otherwise unsuitable. Thanks, friends!
@Steve sorry to disappoint you, but high scores are not shared between users
MyAbandonware friends - why do you keep removing my high scores? I'll soon be 60-years-old, but I can, and will, beat any other members who think they can do better than this old guy. As a former 8/16 bit game author, I can still 'hold my own' . Let's see what you've got - I am the Elder Master and I'm waiting........Are you ready?
MyAbandonware.......Why do you keep removing my high scores ? I have beaten the current high score by over 2000 points - just a few days ago I held five of the top six spots - now they are all gone, and not for the first time. What is going on? Are you unhappy that this old man is proving his skills?
Hurray! Got the No.1 spot today guys, finished with all people alive and In good health; scored 9356. Come on fellow 'MyAbondonware' fans, get playing.....you can't let this 58-years-old Grandpa (as of Sept 2021) put you to shame, can you? Go for It !!!
TIP - The best time to hunt Is when you're delayed or stopped for whatever reason - this way, you're putting time that would otherwise be completely wasted to good use; also, you don't then need to waste valuable travelling time doing your hunting. Whichever character you opt for, you will always be able to find enough food through hunting. I got my Highscore with 'Teacher' and starting with - 5 Oxen; 2 each of tongue, axle and wheel; 3 boxes of bullets; 11 sets clothes; 400lb food.
What a nice game. Succeeded twice in a row. Even as a teacher. But I was prepared - must habe played the game for hours in my youth.
Come on, guys! Many of these comments are ridiculous! Getting to the end of the trail (Willamette Valley) does NOT mean that you've 'beaten the game'! Arriving at the end Is the basic endeavour, regardless of how many people have survived. To 'win' the game, you need to finish with the highest score - It's that simple! Everything Is taken Into consideration (items left - cash, food, oxen, bullets, wheels, etc), and the more items that you have In your Inventory when you reach your destination, the higher your final score! Please, don't kid yourselves into believing that simply getting to the end Is a win; It's not! But keep at It and you'll do It!!!
Never played this one before. I managed to complete it first time with all members surviving in fair health and with plenty of supplies left. Got on to the list of Trail legends. I have no idea how I managed this.
Never played this before, but finished it in one go, with me being the only survivor.
Nice and fun little piece of gaming and US history knitted into one.
RIP Shlomo, Joel, Gal, and Hila. Your sacrifice in pursuit of my lifelong dream to piss off the Injuns by slaughtering as much buffalo and other game as possible while rolling at breakneck speed through the country will not be forgotten.
Excellent game, as good today as when I first played It In the 1980's! No problems with this online play at all, although the music has scope for improvement; that said, we can cut out the music and/or play our own! A very enjoyable game, which led to many more similar but much larger games. Abandonware Is my favourite website and brings us all - whether older people (like myself) or younger ones who enjoy early computer/video games - together, so that we can enjoy these wonderful games!
well I made all the way there, luckily my whore wife died, she accidently got pushed of a cliff. lost three kids, one I feed to a bear to save the rest of the family , one got bit by a snake and wouldn't stop crying so I drowned the little MF, Didn't have to worry about food for a few days.. and the last one , my teenage daughter , I gave to a bunch of fruitful Indians for a bear hide blanket and some beans. fun game
hope this is a good game
I love that I can still play this game! I used to be awful at it and then I made the top scoreboard. Ah, the nostalgia! So happy to still see people enjoying it. :)
I hate life cuz I didn't get far from the start and got dysentery and not to far from fort Kearny I died from it
galaxy roxy why r u use uwu so much? but i like his game it is very well made!
the game was nice but i did not like it a little bit because it too to much time to load and it was so tensing
I had lots of "fun" with the tribe leaders daughter in my wagon.
Score of 11305. Second try. Not sure of my first score, I just noticed my bonus from occupation was a little lower and wanted to get a much higher score.

I love this game!! I play it more than every other game. My highest score thus far is 9079... try and beat me!!
P.S. James Madison is better than Alexander Hamilton

Banker Playthrough:
At the end, I had £1000, ~200 bullets, well over 300 pounds of food and all members of the group were healthy. It took approx. 4 months
Teacher Playthrough:
By the time I reached the end, I had no money, no bullets, barely any food, typhoid fever and I was the only person left in the group. Oh yeah, and it was January. It took me 6 months.
wow this game is fffuuunnn I even was number 3 on the list of legends I rated this game a ten
i got a LOT of bullets and hunt we did good Resting 5-8days in Landmarks but damn this game is a bit Racist when i just started the Journey Obama already got a Snake bite then 5 more snake bites then he got sick and sadly died while the rest of the Group lived damn.......

SEGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRGHG!!!!!!!!
I HAVE LOST EVERYONE!!
Dude!! That was awesome! I time tripped so hard I thought my brain might actually explode. Thank you for that trip down memory lane...
Nailed it first try, nobody died, TOO MANY BULLETS
... also, we weren't in very poor quality health. so that's great
i'm not sure if i did easy mode but i did get a lot of crap. i swear everyone but me got something and survived.

I somehow nailed it as a carpenter second try with just Beth dying of typhus and waaaay too much of everything left. First try we all got infected and brutally died right at the end.
they called me crazy for leaving in august.. with no food or bullets and no money... turns out they were right 2 starved 1 drowned and one got a snake bite and me well.... i also got a snake bite thus ending me quick
I had a broken arm, the leader decided to ford the river, he knew I couldn't swim, I drowned them all, those bastards thought they could get me, they were wrong!
I finished the game w/ just myself and another party member. Seems like starting out as a banker is the easiest route. Took the raft downriver as my team member was "suffering from exhaustion". All in all, great game. Brought back memories oflaying it on the Apple IIe. Thanks AbandonWare!
I finished the game with 3 people, (Including me), and I reached the List Of Legends! I would love to see this game more simple, though I know no updates can be added now. I recommend playing. Have a nice day! Happy New Years, too!!
good game!
loved it!!!
Ok, that was actually kind of fun. I did it with the teacher and ended with a score of 9440. I did not die of dysentery. I'm not sure if i'm happy or sad about that.
HOW MUST GET MORE WAGON!! I GET MANY POINTS

I am on the leaderboard!
Scored 9153!!
why it is not working i even put oregon.exe but it still won't work
well, everyone drowned in the first 4 rivers... ...fail
Sound works now
Does an admin read these comments? I'm pretty sure this game had sound, but, while playing the game, It's completely silent.
made it second try, as a doctor. All 4 lived, 5800 ish points
I finished, not before trying and actually succeeding to kill every one else on my wagon, but i got to the end of the game.
Um...Copywrite?
i died lol
Played as blacksmith, scored 5468, all people in good health when I arrived at the valley. I was pretty pro at this when I was 8 or so haha
well everyone died.... um.... all i can say is dont play this game ok?
WILLIAN . I play first time and I have 1499 points. 4 people survived.
I was the only one alive. Still made it first try tho :).
MAN, OREGON TRAIL IS SO AWESOME!
I was the only person who can finish the game in 1 try? (1 person was died)
I can't get it to start
don't know how to start!
Eyy I got in 6th place with only Waluigi and I left!

I can't play on tablet
Why not work?
I can't play it on iPad. Super bumbed
Everybody died!! And i keep getting bit by snakes! like, dude, just stay away from snakes...
doesn't work on chrome for me but works on IE when I switch to Oregon.exe in the game executable menu
Second, suck it!
how do you start the game? i just get to the part where it gives me info and help but i can't type anything into the console
Wow I can't believe I thought this game was challenging as a kid. Played it for the first time in years and made it on the list of legends first try with no one dying.
lol this is easy made it onto list of legends on my first try
guys, if you are having issues - change the executable to OREGON.EXE
you're welcome! :D
If your having trouble loading the game (specifically on chromebook), try going to the game executable part above the game and click on the version that says OREGON.EXE at the end. It loaded perfectly for me on the first try.
what's the polbelm
WHY CRASHING ALL THE TIME????? Chromebook.
Fourth... Almost too easy. 1 person died, though.
Not working for me, just dos screen... it seems loading, but freezes at that moment and does not go forward.
I am 3rd ;)
4132 not bad...
but why no work
How do I use this???
One of the hardest games ever pfft... I made it to the valley as a teacher with my entire party with 2 months to spare and scored 7400 points. I ranked #2 on the list of legends, and that was my second try!
No comment nor review for this game at the moment.
