The Oregon Trail 5th Edition (Teacher- Trail Guide)
Starting in March 1840, going from Independence to Willamette Valley (Oregon City), I kill the default high scores and have all 5 members of my wagon survive. The entire animated series is shown along the way as well.
On an aside, I think Adventurer is the hardest difficulty, although it’s played to be the “Medium.”
Trail Guide gives you an extra $500 shortly after you set off, which greatly reduces the amount of hunting/fishing needed to complete the game with one of the lower starting cash occupations. It’s balanced by having the game end if wagon train morale dips too low, which you either have to be extremely stupid, or try extra hard to fail in order to have it happen. I’m talking buy 5 grandfather clocks at the beginning, rub salt in gunshot wounds, and pack frostbitten limbs in snow while backtracking the Hastings Cutoff in December kind of effort. A full party kill is easier to attain than getting removed as leader.
The only differences between Trail Guide and Adventurer are that as an Adventurer you can continue the game if you’re demoted from train leader (computer picks which way you go though there’s a chance you can get re-elected to commander, sometimes in a day our two after demotion), and you don’t get the extra $500 when you’re promoted. The lack of money means more time spent hunting, fishing, and gathering to ensure survival with the lower starting pay occupations. That makes “Medium” more difficult than “Hard” I’d say.

I recently replayed this version, I made myself leader, and added 4 people from the Starkids' show, Trail To Oregon, the 2nd-5th members were Jack Bauer, The Bandit King (or McDoon, if that's the name you know him by), Craphole and Mouthface, for the final one, I merely threw in an OC of mine named Maria.
Mouthface sadly didn't make it, the dang river killed her when we rafted on it!
I wish they'd re-release this game.
Umm sorry PC culture but African Americans didn’t get to participate in the homestead act. Which today partially explains why antifa is headquartered in Portland Oregon ( the whitest city in the country ). Although I doubt any members are aware of this.
Probably favorite childhood game.
Is there anything like this out today for kids?? I played the second edition in 5th grade. Awesome games.
The cut scenes in this game fixed race relations in america
Which difficulty level is the hardest depends on your occupation. If you are wealthy, then Greenhorn is the easiest and Trail Guide hardest. If you are poor like a Teacher, then Trail Guide is the easiest while Adventurer is the hardest.
Why does that guy sound like Chris Rock at 9:02?
1:35:27 – What a nice ending..
So, anyone know where to buy this game?

I've never played this version of the Oregon Trail before. The 2nd edition is my favorite and most frequently played.
Sorry bro the the snow has already fallen
well I like how they included the music from the 3rd game here
Ike? Fredrick? Ephraim? Fire emblem.
so let me get this straight the 5th edition is just OT2 with those cut scenes?
Rip Buffalo that fell down the cliff
How did you get do much money suddenly in new santa fe
Stupid ass jimmy
i must say, the characters design i like it a lot, remind me a good saturday cartoon
link for the game?
Every time I try to gather, go through the selection of keep or throw, and click done….it says I didn't collect anything, but threw out what I chose to throw. Is there something other than the left mouse button?
Is the reason u made all of the ppl 25 years old is because the older they are, the more experienced? If u did, U should think about the downside of that: they are more likely to die.
This looks like Oregon Trail 2 quite a bit.
Dude, shout out to the gaggle of homeless people, random strangers, and coders they paid to voice these lines with all the talent and gumption of a middle school drama on the dangers of gingivitis.
Wow I actually prefer the original one compared to this
4:13 But your…(black).
Why did you make every person 25 years old?
alright..who coppied libertys kids! lol jk
Man, the captain's eyebrows are crazy.
I was sure enjoying this until it stopped working at 42 minutes 25 seconds.
That looping music drove me crazy when I played 5th edition – had to shut it off.
I can't raft down the Columbia, so that's 7.50 I need at the end of the game (to take the Barlow Toll Road)

I remember playing this before I knew that 2nd edition was the best. This still has its charms, though!
I could be wrong about this…but I don't seem to remember 2nd edition letting you choose which way to go whenever the trail splits, while I do remember commanders in 5th edition getting to choose what paths to take. I remember settling in SLC many times when I knew I couldn't make it to Oregon, and almost never making it to California due to the really heavy blizzards in the Nevada desert :p
I'm not watching this
I have the 2nd edition. Seems like they took a few graphic things out and added a story.
