Overview

Westward, Ho! We're headin' for Oregon!
Embark on Gameloft's refreshing revisit of the classic game you used to play and love.

Your favorite pioneering adventure game is back and takes you to an exciting, historical side-scrolling adventure entirely rethought to fit the touch experience.

- All of the decision-making and problem-solving fun of the original game, plus additional parameters to take the Oregon Trail experience even further than you've played before.

- 8 skill-based mini-games, including 2 accelerometer-based challenges: hunting, fishing, river crossing, rafting, wagon repairing, telegraph, berry picking, and gold panning.

- Random events (disease, bandits, hitchhikers, etc.) faced by real pioneers increase the challenge.

    Super!

    This game kept my daughyer and I entertained for over an hour. We had a blast. It brought back great memories for me. The graphics are great and gameplay was very smooth. Worth more than 99 cents but I am thrilled to have picked it up on sale. Since each time you play your outcome is different it will keep the game fresh and exciting.

    So much fun!

    I bought this app for my nook Tablet and also for my 8 year old son's nookCOLOR. We both LOVE it! I have fond memories of this game from when I was young, and it obviously was much less visually appealing back then, but still fun! I really enjoy playing it again and watching my son enjoy it as well. We have had no problems with the games on running on our devices...they've run perfectly smoothly.

    I would enjoy this game if only it would work!

    The only reason I am giving this more than one star is because, when the game does work, it is great.

    My issue is that the game freezes after a couple of minutes of game play. Most of the time, it returns to the main Nook menu, but sometimes the animation freezes entirely, and I have to reboot my Nook Tablet to fix it.

    Also, the game auto-saves, so there is no way to save your progress between auto-save points (to guard against losing your progress should the game freeze again).

    I would appreciate an update to address these problems.

    Love it

    A nice update to a computer classic, it does take some space on the device but it is well worth it.
