BG45 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I posted my [url="http://i.imgur.com/xKs6T.jpg"]thing I made[/url] for the Random Images thread about "When I was your age" to Reddit. 3 hours after I posted it (and one Qualifier question later) it's on the second page with over 800 upvotes and 500 comments. I feel strangely accomplished and like a major nerd. Screenshot for proof I killed some things in black that were against PM rules for me to show.

arfink Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Love Oregon Trail, it's still one of the coolest games ever. I would play the Apple II version in school, and since I knew the Apple II better than anyone else at the school including the teachers I would crash the program into BASIC and search the code for vulnerabilities. That's how I discovered the phenomenon of "Oregon Trail Drag Racing," which I would do just to confuse the teacher. It would work like this: once you got to the first fort in the game the software would forget about the limit for the number of oxen you could take with you. So if you played as the banker you would begin by buying one set of clothes for everyone, about 3000 lbs of food, and as many oxen as you could. Then you'd get to the first fort and spend every last nickel on oxen, set the pace to grueling and rations to filling and blast your way to Oregon in a month. If you were lucky nobody would die, and you'd not even have to stop for food on the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banker was less likely for me, because while I had amazing supplies, everyone died of diseases, no longer how long I stopped. I wanna play this now.
