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.

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.

[@YouAreReadingAComment]

Often times, when I ford the river over 2 feet the wagon sinks, so I would be careful

[@danielernsberger3771]

The threshold for being able to ford a river is 2.5 feet. There's even a piece of advice in the game if you "talk to people" somewhere that says "don't try to ford any river deeper than the wagon bed - about two and a half feet." Often when I ford at exactly 2.5 feet I get stuck in the mud and lose a day, but don't lose any supplies or people.

Good memories playing this on Apple II in elementary school. The gliding at the end is cannon. If you take that route.

[@superdave8248]

A ton of food is quite a bit. But what the game doesn't seem to take into consideration is that at a grueling pace, you loose all of your vitamins and minerals. And they won't get replaced on a diet of coffee, flour, smoked pork jerky (bacon), and sugar. Your entire group would be suffering from scurvy probably within the first month of travel. It also seems to undervalue dehydration / sun stroke at a grueling pace with low or no water. Not bashing the player, but the game simply doesn't take into account the human factor and the impact of the elements on the pioneers. And honestly, if you play as the farmer, you have no money to work with. The trip takes forever because you have to constantly stop to hunt for more food. Which gets scarce the further west you travel. Additionally, 40 sets of clothes was plenty. five sets per person would likely work for shirts and pants, but items such as socks and shoes would very likely have to be replaced more than once while on the trail. And if people walking with the wagons got blisters on their feet, this would impact the travel speed as well. So shoes would need to stay in good repair and the socks would need to be changed out daily. Further, oxen are known for their strength and endurance. Not for their speed. Your pace is going to be at about 2 miles an hour or about 20 miles a day on open praire. Which means you likely wouldn't reach Oregon until late September to early October regardless of the pace you set. Your limitations would be on the oxen and not the humans walking with the wagon.

[@Gary_Meow]

This game isn’t that hard I beat it first try with all my family members alive. The trick is to go for April you need a lot of oxen you don’t need a lot of food or any at all since you can hunt whenever you want and layers of clothing is important for the winter. After that just pick the right choices if you run out of food just hunt until you have a good enough amount of food. When a family member gets sick just rest a couple days and they will get cured. Do this over and over and you can win with hopefully all your family members, their is a little RNG your welcome for a tutorial of the game that you’ll probably never play or played before.
