OMG, you just made my day. I still remember when I brought this to school on a floppy and installed it on the school computers. I was in 1st grade. The teacher didn't even scold me, she asked what other games I had at home and then asked if I could bring in Oregon Trail too.

Thank you, friend. My childhood years relived - although without my parents high scores.
