Let's Play Oregon Trail II

[Hohenheim]

Well, at least when I almost drowned it wasn't in three feet of water......

Hat'n'Clogs, what happened to making sacrifices for the sake of the journey, huh?

[Ante Bellum]

At least your wagon leader didn't die from a bullet wound immediately after I went hunting during a buffalo stampede...

[Mr. Hat'n'Clogs]

Hat'n'Clogs, what happened to making sacrifices for the sake of the journey, huh?

Ummmm, heh XD

[CrimsonRyu17]

Two outcomes for this smallpox:

1. This will bring us closer as an oregon trail family.

2. This will bring us an easy meal.

[Ante Bellum]

Bad idea, dude. Both of them.
Just wait a while until Peanut the Greatest Doctor in the World comes up with a vaccine/cure.

[Peanut]

So...so John. Are you...

READY TO GO, COUNT ZERO?

...yes...yes I am...

So I've been thinking about it guys, and I've decided that since we're a family, we need to stick together. We're all friends and no one gets left behind! Even if they catch smallpox, right? Right?!

Don't worry Hat'n'clogs, as our brave leader and head physician, I would never leave you behind...now "accidentally" placing you in the wagon of a certain someone who wanted to leave us all behind is a completely different matter entirely.

Anyway, more Let's Play OTII!!!!


Our last spring before the Big Blue River. Take in the beauty of its waterfall, and forget all about the diseased individual laying in the back of the wagon.


...traffic jam...1800s style...well, no choice but to wait.


...um, yeah, we'll wait some more...don't want anyone drowning in a somewhat respectable depth of water.


Oh come on! We were here first!!!:mutter:


Well, this is probably the best conditions we'll get. Time to ford another river...LEROY JENKINS!!!!!


We're doing it...WE'RE DOING IT!!!


...FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF...well, at least we still have our health...


COME ON!!! What, did you hit your head on a rock? Oh well, I guess I'll choose to administer that thing with the name I don't recognize. That should fix Mith up...

[Mithrandir]

Laudanum?!? You're giving the poor dude with a concussion opium?!? Whoa... What would shooby think. XD

That's heavy... Far out, man... I love you guys... I mean, I really love you all... *barfs*

So when they show the picture of the guy with a "bad cold," did anyone else think that really didn't look like a 45 year old dude...? XD

[Ante Bellum]

I dunno, opium is supposed to supposed to be a great painkiller - IF you don't get addicted that is. Now, there have been people with so much pain that it doesn't work.

How do you feel? Pain level?

[Mithrandir]

You mean *after* the opium? Can't feel a thing. *hic*

[CrimsonRyu17]

Great, now it's my turn for some disaster to happen. >w>;

[Mr. Hat'n'Clogs]

Or maybe it's Peanut's turn, nothing has happened to him yet.

Not that I'd ever wish that, 'cause I love my family!

[Peanut]

Laudanum?!? You're giving the poor dude with a concussion opium?!? Whoa... What would shooby think. XD

Your right, I should have chosen to have you dance about as our evening entertainment. Wouldn't of helped you much, but it would have raised our moral quite a bit.

So when they show the picture of the guy with a "bad cold," did anyone else think that really didn't look like a 45 year old dude...? XD

Actually I thought the exact same thing.XD

[Mithrandir]

Or maybe it's Peanut's turn, nothing has happened to him yet.

Not that I'd ever wish that, 'cause I love my family!

Suck up. XD

[Mr. Hat'n'Clogs]

Suck up. XD

Especially the family members who don't throw out people with smallpox.

[Mithrandir]

Especially the family members who don't throw out people with smallpox.

Whatever happened to the "take one for the team" mentality...?

[Mr. Hat'n'Clogs]

Whatever happened to the "take one for the team" mentality...?

I think all I have to say is "heh XD"

[Htom Sirveaux]

I think it would be most helpful to know what the "various other items" are that keep getting lost in rivers. Someone's gonna end up wondering where the heck their deodorant and toothbrush went.

[Ante Bellum]

You can't buy toothbrushes or deodorant in Oregon Trail. What are you suggesting?

[Htom Sirveaux]

You can't buy toothbrushes or deodorant in Oregon Trail.

And who do we blame for that, I wonder?

[Ante Bellum]

...Matt/Matt's wife?

[rocklobster]

the programmers for not wanting to create an Ananchronism Stew.

[Mithrandir]

And who do we blame for that, I wonder?

Europeans?

[Davidizer13]

I blame our schools!

[Mr. Hat'n'Clogs]

And who do we blame for that, I wonder?

Hitler

[Beau Soir]

This thread is hilarious. XD I wasn't even on the second page yet and I was busting up laughing. It brings back such nostalgia of me playing this game at my grandma's house... and I played it at school, too. It was pretty darn popular, I do recall. :0

Would it still work for Windows XP? I haven't played a computer game apart from Sims games in forever, but now I'm getting the urge to play it and Rollercoaster Tycoon again.

[Ante Bellum]

Well, I managed to get OT 5 to work on my Mac computer, I bet if you run it in compatibility mode on an XP it should work.

[Peanut]

Just in case anyone is wondering, I've been playing OTII on XP with my standard settings. It works fine outside of the sound being screwed up, its not in fullscreen (which is actually good for what I'm doing) and a single occasion when it crashed while I tried playing it and doing skype at the same time. Anyway, more Let's Play OTII!!!


By "road junction" the game means a pretty picture to stop gameplay while it continues you on the same, linear path to Oregon.


...haha! Nice try water. Fool me once into fording you, shame on you. Fool me several other times into fording you, shame on me. We'll find a different trail.


Increase fluid intake...come back to me when you catch something interesting...like Cholera!


The narrows...its quite narrow, but in actuality its just a segue to...


...a new map screen!! We can do this people! We can make it to Oregon with no casualties!!!


Not only have we made it to a new screen, but we also have the fourth to celebrate. Break out the opiates and medicinal whiskey!!!! (Note: The creator of this thread in no way condones the use of drugs or underage drinking...)


...there's nothing I have to add to this picture's humor...nothing...


But, before we leave, let me show off trading. Throughout the entirety of our journey, we have been able to trade with random people! And, because we're low on bullets and I have to get my hunting fix, I'm going to give away some of our clothing for more ammunition, hoping that I can actually start shooting things again (spoilers...I can't).


With no way to hunt, my only option is to buy another gun. Seeing as how this is a fort, I'm sure it has both a gun and will probably be a pretty cool place. SO LET'S GO!!!


...gosh...even the forts in the mid-west are the most boring things ever...

Next time, we brave boredom in Fort Kearney so I can contribute to the death of many a creature.

[Tsukuyomi]

Every time I scroll down to see "Ready To Go", I want to yell out "COUNT ZERO!" =P

[Mr. Hat'n'Clogs]

Apparently my immune system is fail.

[Tsukuyomi]

Oh yeah, and Hatty and Mith are twins

They look exactly the same :o:o
