The Oregon Trail

This is an adventure game in which players lead an expedition of settlers to Oregon. Players select a traveling party, stock their wagons with supplies, and make choices that affect the course of their journey. In one hunting mini-game, players use a shotgun to shoot at fleeing rabbits; though depicted from an overhead perspective, the sequence contains frequent, realistic gunfire. As players progress, party members can incur injuries or contract diseases which can sometimes result in death. Some diseases (e.g., cholera, dysentery) can cause party members to vomit; one sequence depicts a character defecating, though a black censor bar obscures genitals and feces. The dialogue references whiskey and tobacco. The word “damn” appears in the game.
