The Oregon Trail, version 2.1 for MS-DOS, ported to Windows
The Oregon Trail for Macintosh, version 1.2
Oregon Trail Deluxe VGA, version 3.01 for MS-DOS, ported to Windows
Oregon Trail for Windows, from 1993
Oregon Trail II for both Macintosh and Windows

Additionally, a 12-minute video history covers the evolution of this seminal game back to its mainframe origins in the 1970's, including screen sequences, interviews with developers, and even a reminisce with the Minnesota teacher credited with its conception.
