As far as Oregon trail the original is concerened, the only 3 are carpemter banker, and farmer. Its a mistake i accidentally left when I revised/rewrote most of hte article. How can a Doctor be chosen if Banker, Carpenter, or Farmer are the only choices? I'd edit this page now, but I am unsure if later versions of the game include other choices of occupation. Each profession has different advantages and drawbacks, such as starting money, end game point bonuses, and special circumstances for example, sick or injured characters are less likely to die with a Doctor chosen." The entry includes the following: "The player can choose to be a banker from Boston, a carpenter from Ohio, or a farmer from Illinois.

Here is a Basic Integer version for Apple II, in which you have to type numbers instead of words to "shoot". I remember this version too, and I'd like to find it.
Unfortunately, I don't remember anything else about this version. I remember a variation of the game on the Apple IIe where you had to type words on the screen to "shoot" at animals for food.

Very late replying, but thank you for at taking my comment into consideration. b_cubed 05:27, (UTC) Ī player-entered tombstone. Just to show nothing against you and the others that enjoyed the picture, I'll leave it here for the time being. In other words, if you (or anyone) can find some factoid, and be able to reference it in the article, then the picture should be able to go back in no problem. If there was something significant about it to keep it in I would. Was the "Here lies Andy" tombstone removed from this page? It was the best image on wikipedia. :-( - 60.46.212.28 04:09, (UTC) I took it out because there wasn't any reference to it. I think it is something relevant to the article because I think that at this point many people believe it is a part of the original game (so short are memories and so widely circulated is the ROM image), and so those reading an article about the game may be curious as to where it came from. I added a bit about the often-abused tombstone inscription feature - although I probably didn't do the best job of putting it in, so this is where I read about it.- El Zilcho 21:49, 22 September 2005 (UTC) I expanded a bit upon the origin of the line.

I'm hoping it will run with some sort of DOS emulation of Linux.- 132.198.93.49 18:45, 14 September 2007 (UTC) That may be interesting, do you think you could and we can see how it ends up? - Banime ( talk) 17:42, 24 August 2008 (UTC) One year later: Okay, the next time I have access to it.- 132.198.252.135 ( talk) 05:34, 18 November 2008 (UTC) Screenshot I'm actually making a project to breathe life back into the computer with the flavor of floppy drive required to run it. I have a copy of the original Oregon Trail on floppy with the packaging, so I could possibly contribute a picture of that if anyone thinks it would be beneficial to the article.
