Can you play oregon trail on facebook

Then I started to play. Sidenote: The starting date was listed as January 1, Especially since the starting point was in Independence, MO. Anywho, I ran into the General Store to buy supplies for my trip. My expensive taste having-ass. Then I had to pick a profession.

The 3 choices available to me were Settler, Hunter and Doctor. Settler it is. The main one? Then come back. Chile… lol. After realizing I had to lay in the broke bed I made, I kicked off my journey. I had 2 women, 1 man, and 2 girl kids. Within 5 minutes, one of my girls got bitten by a snake. I shoulda let her die cuz that hit my pocket a little bit.

I hope I pull myself away and do stuff. You know, like shower and eat. Am I the only one this excited about the game? Any of you playing already? Did someone in your Oregon Trail crew die of yellow fever yet? I never played no Oregon Trail I grew up in the Bahamas I thought Luvvie was pumped for some new trail mix or something….

I would have never known my favorite childhood game was on FB! Man, you just took me back to computer lab days! January 27, Ford the river or caulk the whole wagon and float the thing across? If you know the answer to that question, then chances are you played a whole lot of The Oregon Trail as a kid, probably on one of those ancient Mac desktops. Which also may mean that you're really looking forward to the Facebook edition of The Oregon Trail, which is slated to launch on February 2.

Granted, you may already be fed up with receiving a gazillion updates a day from your farmer friends. But we at Horizons are of the firm opinion that if you have to play one Facebook game — or read updates about one — then it might as well be The Oregon Trail, the "educational" computer game that first launched in It's got it all: rabbits, diseases, oxen, and pitched battles.

And according to The Learning Company , which helped produce The Oregon Trail port, the latest edition of the strategy game will remarkable true to the original. Only time will tell. As the Monitor recently reported , the size of the social gaming market has grown exponentially in the past year, as more and more companies seek to build off the success of games such as FarmVille.

It's changing the way that the gaming business is going to work. This is the biggest revolution in the gaming industry in quite a while. Editor's note : The original version of this story misattributed the text posted to The Oregon Trail Facebook fan page. The Learning Company wrote they were "pretty much beside ourselves with excitement," not Blue Fang.

Already a subscriber? Monitor journalism changes lives because we open that too-small box that most people think they live in. For example, if you get low on vigor and can't find the strength to continue on the trail anymore, you can get more energy by using a major credit card. This educational software teaches that the early American settlers were morons, buying stupid oxen and whatever when they should have just packed their Visa cards.

What's next for the Learning Company?
