Line 16:
''The Oregon Trail'' was successful enough to spawn four sequels (and that's without counting the text-based version that preceded the beloved Apple II version) and a number of spinoffs, such as ''[[The Amazon Trail]]'' (which had a rather bizarre plotline involving a lot of [[Time Travel]]) and ''The Yukon Trail'' ([[Recycled in Space|recycled IN]] [[Canada, Eh?|CANADA!]]). It remains a cultural icon and a gaming classic which helped raise American dysentery awareness significantly. The cultural counterpart for British and non-Canadian commonwealth countries is the, much worse, ''[[Granny's Garden]]''.
The original is available to play [http://www.virtualapple.org/oregontraildisk.html here] and a newer edition is playable [https://web.archive.org/web/20111221042827/http://play.oregontrail.com/ here]. Other versions for Facebook, iPhones and other mobile phones have been released. And Pressman Toys has released a card game version which reproduces the original game's graphics in all their 4-bit glory!
