    The Oregon Trail is such a classic that I can still get into it years later and have fun! This handheld has great color and is pretty comfortable to hold/play with. My only issue is the d-pad is a bit weak and makes the hunting harder than it should be, but beyond that this is a great way to introduce The Oregon Trail to your kids/younger siblings!

    If you were around and played the Oregon Trail as a kid on the school computer, you pretty much have to own this. It has a color screen and looks good. Even if it will just sit on your desk and collect dust, I'd still recommend.

    Nostalgic Passtime

    I picked this up almost impulsively but don’t regret it. I was never able to play the original Oregon Trail, but this ported toy/game is definitely a fun passtime every now and then. It’s fair quality and the 80s computer aesthetic is definitely appreciated. Id say it’s definitely something to keep around Incase you get bored.

    I can still remember sitting in 5th grade playing this game on a computer with my friends. The journey out west is perfectly ported to this mini computer. It's a blast to play and brings back a lot of really fun memories!

    This game plays just like the original, only in color (not green) and without having to load the floppy disc.

    My wife enjoys. She'll play on long road trips. It's just like the original from when we were kids. No frills or extras.

    I love everything about this portable Oregon Trail game. It's very realistic in terms of how well it emulates the original game. The controls are super responsive and I haven't had any issues with it crashing. It's a favorite game of partygoers when they come over my house and see it. Definitely worth the spend!

    What a nice change from the ipads and tablets! The kids loved The Oregon Trail! Works like a charm, and just as fun as when it was first developed many years ago.

    This a a great copy of the original game. The only problem I have had with it is the screen is small, and hunting is tough with the button being small. Otherwise it plays well and is a great copy of the original game.

    This game kinda lives up to the original. Very nostalgic but a little difficult to understand the game play menus at times.
