Westward and adventure!
As a kid I remember playing this on a Apple II but when you have less than an hour in the computer lab at school there is not much you can do. I finished my first game with the 5th Edition just last night - a four hour game - and felt good for making it, with all the members of my party alive, four out of the six oxen I started out with, some money, some supplies, a wagon still in on piece and even 10 skill points I didn't use when I made my character. And I was a farmer to boot! Course, I also played at the Greenhorn level but I enjoyed it. And learned a lot. Rest before going up or down hills. Go easy - don't rush. Food is more important than anything else but keeping the wagon working and oxen healthy. I plan to pick my own supplies next time and maybe fish and gather more than hunt - you don't waste ammo when you fish. Frankly, I may just leave the rifle and ammo behind, and just bring a few extra fishing rods. Maybe bring more salt, leave the coffee behind and so on. As you can see I am already planning my next game and that's still at the Greenhorn level. The guide in the game seemed very helpful and you should use it as much as you can - it gives you a lot of information on certain campsites and about the trails themselves. I went slow - 8 miles a day - and made sure that everybody, much of the time, had three meals a day. Even with a lot of mistakes - selling my water keg and trying to rush through the mountains - I still made it. Because of that I would suggest it for kids also. Kids hate it when they die. But if they win, even after all the tough decisions and rough terrain, it will make them feel great.And they learn while they play. Hehe!
