Oregon Trail

Question

Oregon Trail

I've been searching fruitlessly for the original version (from Apple IIe) of the game Oregon Trail to play either online or preferably to download. But all the sites offering free downloads of the game only work for PC's! Considering it was orginally and APPLE game, this is horribly frustrating! Does anyone know of a site to get this game that is Mac OSX compatible? Your help is much appreciated!!!

Hi Debra,

my Stuffit Expander says, "The file does not appear to be compressed or encoded. The application Stuffit Expander.app might be able to open this file.

Are you sure this is your Stuffit Expander talking, or could this be the issue?

Hi Debra, Welcome to Apple Discussions.

The Oregon Trail... it's been a long time! I believe this is it but you will also need to download an Apple IIe emulator. I do not know anything about this site and have not tested the emulator or game.

You can also order on CD here says for Mac or Windows.

I was able to successfully download an Apple IIe Emulator (found one that was compatible with Mac OSX), but when I try to open the "Oregon Train Apple II Disk Image" that I've downloaded from the Classic Gaming site, my Stuffit Expander says, "The file does not appear to be compressed or encoded. The application Stuffit Expander.app might be able to open this file. Would you like to try opening the file using Stuffit Expander.app? If the file does not open correctly it is advised that you obtain further information about the contents of this file from the sender or provider of the file." And I click the "Try" button, but the same message keeps coming up. Any advice?
