Couple tips from an OG Oregon Trailer: Play as the farmer if you want the highest score. Less money but all your points get multiplied at the end. If the river is shallow enough, ford it. Fording just means rolling right through the water. Less than 5 feet or so and you should be fine. I know it's not great for speedrunning, but hunting is the best part of the game. The rafting section at the end has always been in the game as far as I know. I've seen at least half a dozen different versions from blocky green screen Atari 2600 esque up to 90s era.

[@Importions]

Funny story actually, back in my 3rd grade computer class, my teacher had us play this game, and our grade turned it into a semi gambling ring where we would bet on 2 people, whoever beat it faster than the other person would win 50% of the all of the bets, and the people who bet would split the their share depending on who bet the most. I had the 3rd fastest time which was around the lower end of 9 minutes, and the fastest kid had a time somewhere in the 7 minute range, the best kid at the game made somewhere between 250 - 400 dollars + plus other miscellaneous stuff like Pokémon cards before our school found out and shut the game down due to someone betting their mom’s wedding ring and losing their bet. Never thought I would see this game ever again, good times.

[@Fortnite-sweat.]

If you can activate the river minigame instead of other options it really saves your stuff. I seem to remember doing it twice in a run.... but it was one of the two "educational" games on a middleschool computer, so i could be misremembering that. On a speedrun it would cost time on the clock though.

[@xboxterraria8862]

You should do the Oregon Trail 2 next! it goes much more in depth!

[@jtjs6096]

When going across rivers, the depth and distance across 1 side to another sets the base lines on what happens and then I think it rolls what happens. Also, something that it's nice is that every ferry only cost 5$ which is really nice, plus the banker is really the only choice because picking banker quadruples your starting cash

last time I played OT, I just bought spare parts, bullets and almost no food. I spent the whole game hunting way too much, selling most of the excess food to buy more bullets and spare parts. One kid died, everyone else made it. I don't remember which version I played, but it was an older one, so hunting was fairly easy, but even some older versions have super difficult hunting.

I wouldnt say ferry crossings or caulking the wagon are RNG. It's dependent on how heavy your wagon is. I always start off with a few ox and add more after the first river that doesn't have the ferry option. You'll never sink that way.
