So the other day Andrea posted the husband quiz after seeing it on my little brother's blog. My sister-in-law Brooke said on the quiz that Nathan could play video games all day (which is true). Andrea says she's glad I'm not into gaming much. But I used to love my old school nintendo and computer games so I started telling her about all the ones I love, and how my old roomate Brian showed me a website where you can play old school games which is awesome. So I started talking about Oregon Trail, which we played in the computer lab when I was in 2nd grade. Then I started thinking, there's probably a place I can find the game online....
...and yes, there is. I found a website with an Apple IIe emulator and an Oregon Trail download (with both disks, so you can actually finish it unlike a few sites where you play it online). So far I've beaten it twice and it's absolutely as awesome as it used to be....setting the pace to strenuous, only hunting for food, refusing to pay to ford the river, reducing rations. It's beautiful.
I know you're thinking is this really what his first post is about? Is he really that big of a dork?
Yes, yes I am. But I think that's what she likes about me. Also the fact that I clearly rock at Oregon Trail.
how many people died? Did you kill Andrea??? :)
ReplyDeleteI CANNOT WAIT TO GO HOME TONIGHT AND PLAY OREGON TRAIL!!!! We always used to see who could make it across the river with the most stuff without tipping over. And we would get so excited when someone got dysentery or some other disease. Ryan, you are my hero today.
ReplyDeletehaha, that is too funny Ryan! I was obsessed with Oregon Trail back in second grade too. Keep up the dorkiness :)
