I tried a Tomb Raider game recently because I enjoyed those games back in the day, puzzle solving, maze running, shooting bats, running away from T-Rex in the mist.
Now you have to collect wood to light a fire to cook some berries, to make something so you can get a bow and arrows, frighten off wolves or not die of exposure. #OregonTrail.
Tedium.

Today, March 1, in 1848, a party of travelers departs from Independence, Missouri on their way to the Oregon Country, part of the era’s movement of colonization of the west (The Oregon Trail, 1993)

Well, this was a fun old game to revisit on a whim. Fairly good score considering I probably haven't touched #oregontrail 2 since, must have been the late 90s?
Chris · @lindhartsen
76 followers · 319 posts · Server mastodon.socialEnded up down a nostalgia hole, looking for people playing #oregontrail 2. This video in particular stood out because it appeared to find a bizarre bug where you basically can't lose. Critical health, dismissal from the wagon, but none of it matters. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vILFZMAtU-c

A romantic adventure story spiced with Indians, shoot-outs, murder, and hangings — along with the dull daily routine of survival on empty American Frontier.
