(More customer reviews)Oregon Trail is an excellent educational series, but I warn you to stay away from this version. For one thing, I think the "5th edition" claim is not true; its quality is greatly inferior to my 3rd edition and I suspect it is just a refurbished earlier edition. I never got Oregon Trail 2, so I don't know if this is the same, but the technology used is reminiscent of the mid-ninties.
In the process of remaking it, many technical bugs have crept in: for example, the fishing is completely broken and the installation froze my computer for quite a while and tried to install it twice for some reason. The game is in low resolution and 16-bit color, and although it changes your screen to be compatible with the game when starting, it does forget to change it back after you exit. You may have to restart the computer to get your settings back to normal, since you may not be able to get to the buttons on the settings panel at that resolution.
The ability to travel several other trails at different times and from different places is a really nice touch. Maybe a different release would be less problematic.
