    As long as they don't update the diseases... Dying of Dysentery seems way more game-appropriate than dying of lou gherig's disease, or colon cancer.

    Absolutely ecstatic that when I get the iphone, I can die of dysentery, diphtheria, and cholera. Also...shooting those animals was so fun...half the time in that game I spent hunting.

    Original graphics FTW! I don't see why they're trying to appeal to the elementary-school audience with those god-awful screenshots when 90% of the people who will play it will be nostalgic 20/30-somethings. And agreed with prefekt that the original diseases are a must, along with being able to gratuitously shoot buffaloes when you're already chockablock with food.

    Ah the Oregon Trail. Crazy thing... the original Oregon Trail is literally about 50 yards from my Log Cabin on Mt. Hood. I've hiked quite a bit of the trail picking mushrooms. Fun times and beautiful area.

    Yep... definitely excited, although I never played the original... was too busy
    playing Infocom text adventure games :)

    Agreed with above...not in favor of the anime style graphics at all. Other than
    that, great concept.

    I'm elated to see the arrival of Oregon on the iPhone!! One of my first loves.
    Disappointed that they didn't stay true to the original style and
    graphics...although that might not appeal so much to the masses.

    I wonder how long it will be before the Carmen Sandiego series arrives to the iPhone.
  • Joey Mucha · 10 months ago
    This game will be awesome. I hope they maintain its original integrity and don't try to embelllish it too much with unnecessary frills.

    Thanks for the info! We are already playing it on the iPod Touch, so I am glad to
    hear it is coming to the iPhone, too. Fun times! :)

    Oregon trail used to be the bomb haha, but i guarantee it is not fun as it used to be
    still, probably better then most games for apple

  • Evan · 9 months ago
    Holy crap. Count me in. If I had to line up to buy this, I would.
  • Kim McKee · 9 months ago
    That was crap when they would only let you carry 200lbs of buffalo back to your
    wagon. iPhone better have a fix for that.
