oregon trail rip off

[Pet_Raxa2]

why?

[ANeM]

It is called "parody." Gameplay more closely resembles a SHMUP than Oregon trail.

[Tau22]

It's actually nothing like Oregon Trail in gameplay, just so you know.

ACtually, Organ Trail is the Oregon Trail rip off, this is totally different gameplay just by looking at the screen shots..

Is The Oregon trail so stupid it's funny. I think NOT.

[Acer]

Play the game, this is NOTHING like Oregon Trail. This is a ridiculous action game, in a good way!

Here's a gameplay video from GameSpot for the Xbox version:

good game

[Pet_Raxa2]

so this game is rip off?

yes it is

[dmharrism]

Also, what's with purposefully designing horribly pixelated games? You can hardly even tell what things are.

ya oregon trail looked way better than this

[dmharrism]

Exactly. This looks like a free arcade game, not something you'd pay money for, even if it is a couple dollars. And calling it historically accurate makes me nauseous.

I'm begining to think this game is great at detecting the humor impaired.

This is a parody of old school games (and not just a parody of Oregon Trail except in a very loose theme way). The graphics and gameplay all are part of the gag. Like all humor though, you either get it or you don't. I for one laughed quite a bit, especially when I got the space shuttle "wagon".

Humor issues aside, it is also more playable than most "gag" games, although it won't hold your attention for more than a few hours (thus the cheap price tag). Recommended for those still capable of smiling.

Game of the year, every year.

Id like to think the "historically accurate" is a dev joke.

I have a newfound respect for all the brave settlers who journey'd to Oregon. I had no idea how many pterodactyls, unicorns, and pirate ships they had to overcome to get there, all these years I thought disease and starvation were the killers but no, turns out diseases only weaken you and you really only starved if you didn't have the fortunes of finding a pet falcon.

Don't even bother paying attention to anything OP says. He's an obvious troll, and he does that in other topics aswell.
