Can You Recall the Name of "The Name of this Game"?

[StevieTNZ]

There is this game (well, use to be) where you'd have yourself and possibly others go from the east to west of the USA on a horse and cart back in the old times, and you'd be given some coins and stuff. You'd need to repair broken wheels, get medicine if someone was ill (or you'd just leave them and they would usually die), cross rivers, camp for the night (or a few days) if you needed to cross a river but it was too deep at the time (or you could cross it and risk everything you had).

You had to make it to the end with as many as people you started out with, and if everyone died before then you lost.

I can't remember the name of this game! Can anyone recall what it is called?

Oregon Trail perhaps?!

Yes! THANK YOU! That's it. :D

I was thinking of Westward Ho. I bet if I dig deep enough I can come up with this old game on a 5 1/4 inch floppy for an old Commodore. And yes, I could probably come up with the machine it runs on as well as the disk drive.

The game you are describing sounds like "The Oregon Trail." It was a popular educational computer game in the 1980s and 1990s that simulated the journey of settlers traveling west on the Oregon Trail in the 1800s. Players had to manage resources, make decisions, and navigate various obstacles in order to successfully reach their destination. It is still available to play today and has been updated with new versions and features.
