i remember playing that game a lot on my dad's flip phone. I made it to the end twice out of... however many tries it was. I never died by any diseases, it was always to bandits or weather.
first time i made it with just the dad, second time only the son died.
Baby, I have never ONCE made it to wherever the hell we trying to go. Which fits, because I told y'all I plan to die on demand when shit gets too real. LMAO.
Just like in real life, if you're super rich (In Oregon Trail's case, being the Banker) you can easily afford to pay to resolve all your issues and be hedged against future ones.
I've heard there's one going around called the JFK Jr. I wasn't really paying attention because it all sounded pretty ridiculous, but I think it has something to do with a brain work and/or whale carcass.
My greatest fear was that I would somehow die of dysentery out here using my homemade spotty water filters, and the last thing I would do on this Earth would look be looking incredibly dumb 😌
