Sorry, Unknown Gamer, these instructions do not work for me. I have different Files than what you have. But hey, at least you gave instructions.

Unkown Gamer2020-02-240 point

Forgot to mention that Step 1 through 4 are done on the Windows 7 32-bit side so I was able to install the game properly as normal.
The rest of the Steps were done through Windows 10 so I could play without needing of the dumb Installer at all right a way.
Again hope this was helpful in some way and maybe someone will be able to come up with a fix in the future for the graphics and sound issues?
Also kinda wish there was an Edit button on here so I wouldn't have had to make 3 post in a row...Due to a slight error on my part....Sorry...

After a long struggle I managed to finally get this game to work even on Windows 10! Unfortunately it has some graphical and sound issues you can use the ISO on here or the official CD tho.
Recommend you use PCEM for best results.
Steps are.
1. You must have a 32-bit system for this to work Windows 7 for example I have my PC double Partitioned to Windows 7-32 bit and the other side Windows 10.
2. Right click the Setup.exe go to properties and compatibility mode make sure you check mark everything and set it to 256 colors as well as having it on Windows 98 compatible mode.
3. Install the game how you would normally.
4.The same steps from number 2 applies for the OT3.exe then run the game and see how it goes.
Extra steps: You will need a way to make a iso file like Power ISO etc also PCEM.
5.Go to the TLC folder and Oregon Trail 3 Folder and highlight everything in it then make the ISO. This bypasses the dumb installer issue I had and allows you to play the game immediately.
6. Start up PCEM as you normally would take the new ISO you created and mount it to the drive on PCEM
7. Finally play the game right away with no installation nonsense and with no more issues.
I truly hope this helps seeing how no one else has done anything on the matter so far?

Unkown Gamer2020-02-230 point

I've tried everything I even still have my official disc and tried that beforehand but I keep getting told I'm doing something illegal?
I'm trying to play this classic using the PCEM Emulator but no matter what I use be it your ISO or my own CD. I'm able to get to a certain point but once it get's ready to install it doesn't and stops with some illegal nonsense
Please is there any fix to this at all?

This installer doesn’t work, find different version

Torstein2019-12-220 point

I've tried everything to get this game to launch but I keep getting 'Insert Disk 1 to play'. I've built an old school PC with spare parts and tried launching it on that. I've tried using a virtual machine. I've tried windows 95,98,2000, and XP. The game installs, the launcher pops up, I click play, and it tells me to insert Disk 1 to play. Bottom line, mounting the ISO does nothing. What am I missing? Wish I never lost these game disks.

Larson2019-12-180 point

Any tips on how to get this with sound? I've tried Virtualbox and PCem, both Windows 95 and 98, can't get sound even when changing from Sound Blaster driver in Virtualbox as is often advised. Everything else works. Help would be appreciated!

Works for the most part, data files on 2nd and 3rd cd are corrupted, not positive but i think this could be why none of the npc's animate/work properly after leaving independence and why i can't actually finish the game and get my score/land :(, tried re-downloading and same files are corrupted

Unfortunately while the game itself is 32 bit, the installer is 16 bit. So while you can start up the window, as soon as you hit install it'll stop working on a modern system.

Hi,
When I unzip the file there's 3 ios files, labeled CD1, CD2, and CD3.
I can't find a .exe file anywhere.
It may be stupid... but can somebody explain what I'm supposed to do next? Thanks.

Hellakenut2019-03-26-7 points

@DB '.iso's - useless for the average person, pain in the ass for everyone else'
Lol, are you stupid? You can mount ISO's with a plethora of software. If you can't figure it out, then either your Google searches are borked, or you failed English at a minimum of a D+ level...

Chuck2019-03-22-8 points

If you think ISO files are difficult you have no business trying to play old games on modern systems. Seriously. Learn2retrogame.

So... mounting the .isos isn't the problem. Mounting is easy in windows 10; the problem is I can't run a game in compatibility mode if it isn't installed, and I can't install it without running it in compatibility mode... Plus the compatibility mode only goes back to XP.
Anyone know what to do?

MaDDog Gaming2019-02-150 point

Does this work with Windows 7 if so plz explain what to do

cecil2019-01-183 points

ISOs are just fine. Emulators everywhere. Think of them as self contained installation packages that allow software to persist after its cycle.
fun franchise.

Kyle2018-09-251 point

Never mind, it was because of the time of day. The download was successful after trying at a different time of day.

Kyle2018-08-281 point

I cannot get this to download. It fails every time at about the 220-280 mb mark and cannot get download to presume. This is in both Chrome and Firefox. Is there something wrong with the file?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

The Oregon Trail is a computer game originally developed by Don Rawitsch, Bill Heinemann, and Paul Dillenberger in 1971 and produced by the Minnesota Educational Computing Consortium (MECC) in 1974. The original game was designed to teach school children about the realities of 19th century pioneer life on the Oregon Trail. The player assumes the role of a wagon leader guiding his or her party of settlers from Independence, Missouri, to Oregon's Willamette Valley on the Oregon Trail via a covered wagon in 1848. The game has been released in many editions by various developers and publishers who have acquired rights to it, as well as inspiring a number of spinoffs and parodies.
The player can choose to be a banker from Boston, a carpenter from Ohio, or a farmer from Illinois. Each profile starts with a specified amount of money to spend at the supply store (the banker has the most, the farmer the least), before beginning their journey. After the player sets off from Independence, Missouri, there are several landmarks along the trail where players can make decisions, shop for supplies or rest. Players can purchase supplies such as oxen to pull the wagon, food to feed their party, clothing to keep their party warm, ammunition for hunting, and spare parts for the wagon. These landmarks include: Kansas River, Big Blue River, Fort Kearney, Chimney Rock, Fort Laramie, Independence Rock, South Pass, Fort Bridger, Green River, Soda Springs, Fort Hall, Snake River, Fort Boise, Grande Ronde Valley in the Blue Mountains, Fort Walla Walla, and The Dalles. When approaching Oregon's Willamette Valley, travelers can either float a raft through the Columbia River Gorge or take the Barlow Road.
An important aspect of the game was the ability to hunt. Using guns and bullets bought over the course of play, players select the hunt option (#8) and hunt wild animals to add to their food reserves. In the original version, players controlled the wagon leader who could aim a rifle in one of eight directions and fire single shots at animals. In later versions, players hunted with a cross-hair controlled by the mouse or touchscreen. While the player can shoot as many wild games as they have bullets, only 100 pounds of meat can be carried back to the wagon at once in early versions of the game. In later versions, as long as there were at least two living members of the wagon party, 200 pounds could be carried back. Also in later versions, players could hunt in different environments (hunting during winter showing snow-covered grass, for example), and the over-hunting of animals would result in 'scarcity' that reduced the number of animals appearing later in the game. Some versions also allow the player to go fishing.
Throughout the course of the game, members of the player's party can fall ill and not rest, which causes further harm to the victim. The party can die from various causes and diseases, such as measles, snakebite, exhaustion, typhoid, cholera, and dysentery, as well as from drowning or accidental gunshot wounds. The player's oxen are also subject to injury and death.
At the conclusion of the journey, a player's score is determined in two stages. In the first stage, the program awards a 'raw' or the unscaled number of points for each remaining family member (weighted by party health), each remaining possession (weighted by type), and remaining cash on hand (one point per dollar). In the second stage, the program multiplies this raw score depending on the party's initial level of resources determined by the profession of the party's leader; for example, in the Apple II game, a banker starting with $1600 receives no bonus, the score of a carpenter starting with $800 is doubled, and the score of a farmer starting with $400 is tripled. The player's score is added to a high-score list.

Platform:

This ver­sion of The Oregon Trail was de­sig­ned for per­so­nal com­pu­ters with o­pe­ra­ting sys­tem MS-DOS (Mi­cro­soft Disk O­pe­ra­ting Sys­tem), which was o­pe­ra­ting sys­tem de­ve­lo­ped by Mi­cro­soft in 1981. It was the most wi­de­ly-used o­pe­ra­ting sys­tem in the first half of the 1990s. MS-DOS was sup­plied with most of the IBM com­pu­ters that pur­cha­sed a li­cen­se from Mi­cro­soft. Af­ter 1995, it was pu­s­hed out by a gra­phi­cal­ly mo­re ad­van­ced sys­tem - Win­dows and its de­ve­lop­ment was ce­a­sed in 2000. At the ti­me of its grea­test fa­me, se­ve­ral thou­sand ga­mes de­sig­ned spe­ci­fi­cal­ly for com­pu­ters with this sys­tem we­re cre­a­ted. To­day, its de­ve­lop­ment is no lon­ger con­ti­nue and for e­mu­la­tion the free DOSBox e­mu­la­tor is most of­ten used. Mo­re in­for­ma­ti­on about MS-DOS operating system can be found here.
