Will not run on (modern) 64 bit computers, get Oregon Trail 5th edition
This is a 16 bit program. Unless you can virtualize a 16 or 32 bit Windows 98 PC on your own PC, it will not run. Order Oregon Trail, 5th edition,and follow the YouTube video on how to make "Oregon Trail 25th anniversary edition" work on a modern PC. I did, and it works on Windows 10. The same procedure should work for Windows 7, 8,and 8.1

Great game...
I bought this game, because I had the second edition. It is a great game and I would recommend it! The first time I played it on my computer I lost. I played it again yesterday and won. Buy it, it's a lot of fun.

A Classroom Favorite
My third graders study the Oregon Trail every year and enjoy playing this game. It is educational and exciting! Kids take a small party on a covered wagon trip from Independence, Missouri to Oregon. First, they buy everything they need, from oxen to bullets. They must provide their own food along the way (by hunting, trading, or buying at a fort) and are often faced with illness and even death. If someone does die, you can write their tombstone, and maybe see it on your next trip!This game turns textbook learning into reality. It is hard to make it all the way to Oregon (Hint: it goes faster if you have a lot of oxen). But along the way, you will learn to take care of your party and to appreciate things like good water and good weather. I happily recommend this game to kids age 8-10.

Flawed but Fun
Disclaimer: I am a fourteen-year-old girl. You are probably thinking "Isn't that a bit old for The Learning Company?" But let me set you straight:SETUP:I just recently rediscovered it while going through some old things, and I installed it on my Windows Millenium without a problem. Yes, I did have to download QuickTime 3 (I was expecting horribly graphics when I learned this) but it was ready to play in four minutes.PLOT AND CHARACTERS:The plot is simple: Guide your wagon party from Independence, MO, to Oregon City while fufilling goals in the progress. More on this later. The characters are real actors implanted in a computerized background (this can look tacky and cheap at times, but it's nothing big). The actors are costumed well and look the part, but the dialouge is horrible and many of them speak in abhorrent, over-the-top accents (a prime example is the actress for "Caroline Crabbe."). I solved this problem by simply turning off the volume and using the subtitles. The acting itself is also horrible, but you must remember this is a game intended for young children.GAMEPLAY:I have had no problems with this game, except for infrequent occurences where the game shut off and glitchy sound. The loading times were extremely short. The QuickTime 3 has not affected any other games on my computer.RECOMMENDED?:If you have children, I would definately suggest buying them Oregon Trail 4. It would make a great gift. Granted, I have not played OT 5, so you may want to check that out.

The Learning Company should be ashamed of this product!
DON'T BUY THIS GAME! Our family enjoyed a previous edition of this game and looked forward to the 4th edition. What a spectacular let down. We don't have a new computer, but to make this game run we were expected to "tweak" our system to a level below the computer we retired in 1998! The technical support people at TLC are totally unhelpful. The only suggestions they offer are the same as those printed in the "read me" file. Quick Time 4.0 prevents this game from running, so you have to downgrade to the Quick Time 3.0 version that is bundled with the game. Since Quick Time 4 was part of my Windows system files (and not a separate program file) you can imagine the headache messing with this caused. It is absurd that The Learning Company expects a "new" game to require a version of Quick Time that is no longer available and which has no support. I spent hours adjusting our system to run the game and guess what? IT IS AN AWFUL GAME. If I hadn't spent money and hours of my time DOWNGRADING my computer it would be funny. The game is pasted together with scenery from previous versions. Extremely poor game design, pitiful graphics, and clunky gaming. Not since the days when Windows was first replacing DOS have I installed a game that was such a pain to set up and so undependable in play. Save your money, don't buy this game.

Love it
I had no problems with the Program. My kids and I enjoy it It crashed once but we had saved the game and just started it back up where we had saved it. As with any game I recomend you save the game as you make it past milestones. My son enjoyed hunting and my daughter enjoyed the wild rides down the mountain sides. "Its like a roller coaster" she said.We have a pentuim 2 processor and great graphics package. The program worked great on our computer.
