I was about 6 when I opened my Angel Tree present and received the AUTHENTIC Crayola 256 Box Set (I knew how much it cost, something like $25) and not 1, not 2, not even 5, but 10 whole coloring books all for just me! My parents swear they thought I had won the lottery!

These are still around! Last Christmas I bought one for my husband and one for my daughter (and one for myself).

my favorite snack

And wherever they're all at, I guarantee most of them still work

Why are you doing this to us?

Aren't those Tiddly Winks?

I DID!

Let's face it- has anyone ever FINISHED there Oregon Trail?

I present the past, recently found in my loft after 30+ years. Only a smidge of what was up there, unfortunately no PC1512 anymore to look at them. The-past-6...a2ca69.jpg

Who remembers the first "big" games that you'd actually have to swap disks from time to time?

PLAY IT NOW! https://www.visitoregon.com/the-oregon-trail-game-online/

My parents bring this game up all the time

GUYS I CAUGHT DYSENTERY HELP

I DID TOO! I never lived in the 90s!

I done died of dysentery and I live in Oregon, for petes sake.

I played this in my social studies class like two days ago

Dawg my fam made it to Oregon and brought peace upon the alliac bay from war

I have the books and I'm a pro at it

Oregon trail!!! OMG! IMB

So did I! In real life tho XD

My daughter did! And she named all the characters after Firefly characters. Walsh pushed Jayne into the river.

And if you knew what you were doing you could make these 2 sided!

Lol

Children in the UK still play this in school, apparently it's educational nowadays

I always got a kick out of the end of the game. It announced you have reached the Willamette valley. I'm playing the game in the willamette valley!

I actually played this on the internet once. I got robbed and gave up ;-;

I remember playing that via dial up to MECC

...dysnetery.

That was when we actually encouraged our children to play on the computer.

For people who love Oregon Trail as much as I do, there's a game available on several different consoles called Death Road to Canada. It follows the same basic idea as Oregon Trail, BUT WITH ZOMBIES.

Or survive dysentery!

Does anyone else remember AMAZON Trail?

Didn't even know what dysentery was back then I just knew I died from it.

I recently found the game on an archive website and I did make it past (twice even)

I never played OT very much but I did play just enough to die from dysentery.

Cholera!

i love it. i played this with my history teacher today.

You have died of dysentery

I miss hunting buffalo, but Hate when I break an axle! Grr!

Woah, someone 3d printed the save button! (It's a joke, we used floppy disks at school, ah nostalgia:))

13 yr old here beat the game in 3 hrs with losing two people as a carpenter

I can get to the end in under an hour. Computer lab was only 1 hour and it was either this or "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego."

We had the card game 🤷

I don't know if I can throw mine away. It's like saying good bye to a faithful friend. When Spotify is down or my music is so obsolete that it doesn't exist in digital form, my faithful compact disc's will always be there to sing to me. Now, I just don't know what to play them on...

My favorite movie growing up!

I remember listening to conversations on a party-line, 😆

I had this scratch and sniff one that I was really proud of

And there were these extra curricular teachers that would hand them out if you did good or smth like that

of blurry pictures. Remember flash cubes?

My entire life is a lie.

The circling was fun

i can hear the sound of the plastic UUGHHHH

I had the clear phone in my room, and the ringer was LOUD! I would turn off the ringer and it would still light up when it rang, so my friends could call me late at night and not wake up my parents (I had my own phone line in my room paid for by my babysitting money).
