This breh knows about it.
*Teacher*
"Alright, y'all can muck about on Oregon Trail or play Mavis Beacon, I don't wanna hear no loud noises, cursing or music, understand?"
*Class*
:AU_CHTC: "Yes Ma'aaaaaaaaaaaaaam....."
The minute she leaves.
"Address, your ass better got that floppy with Duke Nukem, Commander Keen, Prince of Persia and the rest of them games you gonna install on our shyts, right?"
*Me*
"Your shyt getting installed last for doubting me, fool."
But for real, for real, this game was actually designed to show you the harsh conditions the folk that went through this migration faced with everybody dying and getting fukked but because of the processing limitations computer had at the time and them making a product they never knew would balloon into the cult classic that it is now, they just upped the parameters and had everything that could go wrong, happen at high ass volumes and called it a day.
No matter how slow you took it, no matter how much food you had saved, no matter how much wagon wheels and axle tongues you had bartered for........someone HAS to die on your journey, and they will 'cause that's what happened on the Oregon trail.
