According to Wikipedia, the game was designed by a schoolteacher toВ вЂњteach schoolchildren about the realities of 19th-century pioneer life.вЂќ is that not fucking psychotic? ALSO according to wikipedia,В вЂњbetween 3 and 10 percentвЂќ of emigrants on the real-life Oregon trail perished.

It was a simulator of the emigration of a bunch of people west to Oregon along a wagon route in the 1840s, a trip which was apparently DEEPLY FRAUGHT WITH PERIL AT EVERY TURN. This version was of course very simple and with some quick googling you can find many places to play it in your browser online. The Oregon Trail (which was colloquially referred to in my family simply as Oregon Trail, as in, wanna play Oregon Trail? FUCK NO) is a SHOCKINGLY ANCIENT GAME which was originally released in 1985 (!!!!!) for the Apple II. NOTE: the entire Putt-Putt collection is apparently available for Steam! I love that for him.ДoesnвЂ™t this look like a REALLY FUN game for little children to play? No? ThatвЂ™s because itвЂ™s not. He is like an amorphous purple blob, barely passing for a car. Anyway, you can tell itвЂ™s an early Putt-Putt game because Putt-PuttвЂ™s design is so weird. I mean Putt-Putt was probably the only person (car.) the rover had seen in years. I THINK THEIR RELATIONSHIP WAS VERY HOMOEROTIC. I read on the wikipedia page that he is helped by aВ вЂњlonely moon rover,вЂќ who is pictured in the bottom image, and that triggered very strong emotional memories for me. I know the basic story is that Putt-Putt gets stranded on the moon and has to find a way back to earth. it was like an RPG! I really think this game was ahead of its time in many ways. It is also the first point-and-click game on this list and notable for being the only one so far with an actual original linear plot. IвЂ™m sure you all played some form of Putt-Putt but do you remember Putt-Putt Goes to the Moon? Maybe I should have reviewed it first since I think it really is the first game I can remember ever playing.

LetвЂ™s take a momentary break from franchise tie-in games to recall Humongous Entertainment. I will also note that in 1998 it apparently came bundled with The Land Before Time Animated Moviebook, which I also played, and which was altogether much better. This game was apparently billed as edutainment as well, which I think is really a stretch. And a testament to the fact that kids will play literally anything. Just a terrible aural, sonic and visual experience all around. I also seem to remember the hedge maze game having awful music and sound effects.

But it had very little to do with the story of Littlefoot and friends, and really the only thing I remember is the dreadful maze game up top, where you tried to navigate some kind of hedge maze that looked exactly like a Windows screensaver and sometimes a T REX WOULD POP OUT AND SCREAM AT YOU. I mean I ate it up and played it for probably days altogether because I was a little kid and I LOVED this franchise. Okay so this Land Before Time minigame collection was hideous, and also I think it was really bad. I didn't know what ugly was until I looked this up 2 seconds ago.

IвЂ™d like to apologize for calling the Sesame Street game ugly.
