I had an unhealthy addiction to Oregon Trail in elementary school. The second that screen popped on up my window, my morals went out the window.

Hell yeah, I’ll be a banker. There’s nothing more important in the world than money.

Shoot extra bison even thought I very well know I can’t carry it all back to the wagon. No duh.

Leave my grandmother to die because she’s slowing us down with her damn cholera. I never looked back.

And then I grew up. Or maybe not grew up as much as learned how to play the Sims. If you think controlling someone’s life changing journey across America puts you on a power trip, spend ten minutes playing the Sims. But that doesn’t mean that I don’t still have a soft spot for Oregon Trail. That’s why I clicked on this article as soon as I saw the title and decided to share it with you.

So with no further ado: How the Oregon Trail Relates to Dating

Jenni may or may not have downloaded the Oregon Trail app to her phone and was crushed to see you had to pay to play the full game. You can follow her on Twitter here @MayorJenni.

    Hahah Oregon Trail was funny, my teacher made us do a simulation in class with our class divided into 'wagons', and I'm pretty sure I died on the second day.

    This is hilarious. And I shouldn't tell you this, but they have an app on Facebook. Or you can play online http://www.kongregate.com/games/MindRevelation/or…

    That picture made me bust out laughing. "JWoww has died." Classic. I used to play Oregon Trail like it was my job, and I was ruthless. I would leave people behind any chance I got to get a better pace going. Somehow I always died of tuberculosis though.
