• We love this game
  I wish there were more history games like this. My kids love it. It is buggy. The trick is to save the file often so you don't lose all your hard travelin' work.

• No problems, son and his cousins love it.
  I read some of the 1 star reviews - I feel sorry for them, but did not have any problems. Installed on both computers in our home, laptop and desktop running xp professional. No problems ever. It does take a long time to set up, so I do it and save it for my son who is 7. He needs a little guidance, but does it mostly himself. Lots of superfluous extras, but still good. My last experience was with the original version in sixth grade 25+ years ago on an Apple. This is MUCH improved. We really enjoy the game.... more info

• Does version 5 Oregon trail work with windows xp?
  I want to buy this for my kids new computer, but I need to know if it works with xp thank you

• Doesn't even work
  I don't know if I wasn't paying attention, or was just not informed. But this program doesn't work with macs even though it was used on the old apple2GS which is just a super old version of a mac. Don't get this if you have a mac!
