Hi,

I was so glad when I found the old version of Oregon Trail on your site:
http://www.i-mockery.com/minimocks/oregontrail/default.asp

I downloaded them, but can't get them to run on my computer. i'm on a Powerbook with OsX. Obviously I don't really know anything about computers... I did take the time to go through the first 8 pages of the gaming thread to see if anyone had posted this so I hope you don't hate me for asking.

Can someone help me get this to work? You have no idea how desperate I am for the original Oregon Trail (ok, so it's not green on a black monitor, but it's the next best thing...). Is it even possible for it to work? I'm sorry, but I don't know what a ROM is, or what to do with these things other than unstuff them...

I think that version of the game only works on PC computers. You might be able to find some kind of DOS emulator for a mac somewhere and then figure out how to run it, but I wouldn't know about that. I never use macs.

Smash your Mac on the floor and go buy a PC.

They might have an emulator for ya. The deal exclusively with emulation for OS 9 ans OS X.

You have problems with reading, don't you? :(
