It's interesting that I never played this game or heard of it until I was older and had limited time for games. Part of its appeal to the American audience will definitely be the historical setting that y'all learn about in class, which has great significance to you.
- Broken_Hippo 5y agoYou know, I don't think the history made it popular. You could have put in any historical event so long as it was sometimes funny and an adventure. The real point was that you got to stop doing boring stuff in class and play games for a bit. For me, at least - as a child in the mid-to-late 80's, these were kind of a novelty. At some point, we had an NES at home - but this didn't take away from the novelty. It was the same with, say, Carmen and her world adventures.
- astura 5y agoNah, it's appeal was it was just a really good game (for the time). I played Oregon Trail the game before I ever knew what the real Oregon Trail was nor did I even know of a place called Oregon. I thought that the game was entirely fictional at the time.
