* [[Accidental Innuendo]]: You're fording the river and the water's going too fast. If you don't tie your wagon down, you might lose all of your supplies! [[Bound and Gagged|Would you like to use rope and chains?]]
* [[Fridge Logic]]: In the fifth version, it's possible that you can die of an accidental gunshot wound CAUSED BY YOU. Huh?
** You [[I Just Shot Marvin in Thethe Face|shot yourself in the foot.]] And [[Too Dumb to Live|died.]]
** Probably backfiring. IIRC, besides a [[Total Party Kill|TPK]], this was the only way for the wagon leader to die before everyone else.
*** Not necessarily. In ''Oregon Trail II'', this troper once died by getting mauled by a bear while hunting.
** Or here's a better one: If you give someone food poisoning in the 5th edition by picking poisonous plants, you make them better by ''increasing'' rations. Huh?
*** It was probably meant to be a "keep them from dying of malnutrition while they flush their system" mechanism. It would have been more clear had they cut available rations by the amount that was the poisonous plants, and had several (overlapping region-specific for good measure) types of poisonous plants that would each never be picked up again once you had identified them, but hey, this was a game where a single person could depopulate the entire large-game population of the west within twenty miles of crossing the Missouri River and dysentery always resulted in huge pockmarks appeared on the affected's face. Either [[Acceptable Breaks From Reality|give them a break]] on the food poisoning thing, or [[Let's Play|start]] [[MST3KMystery Science Theater 3000|riffing]].
* [[Fridge Horror]]: In the Gamesoft mobile phone port, you get to save children from rivers. You don't end up with new party members... but you do end up with a boost to your [[I'm a Humanitarian|food supply]]. And the encounter appears on your map with the same star as hunting and fishing opportunities...
* [[Hell Is That Noise]]: DUN DUN!
Line 31:
* [[Porting Disaster]]: Did I ever tell you how unstable the iPad version of the game is?
** When you trade or buy an ox, buffalo or cow and try to equip them, the game crashes.
** When you try to post your feat to [[Face BookFacebook]] using the game, the game crashes
** The game has a memory leak problem and the entire game can sometimes slow to a crawl.
** The music can just randomly stop playing.
