Journeying the 2000 miles of the Oregon Trail iPhone iPod Touch used to take a laborious six month hike through the steep mountains of the Continental Divide. Now, you just have to dig into the depths of your pockets and spend a good 2-3 hours running your fingers across a 9cm piece of glass.
It would take you longer to churn butter than run the iPhone's Oregon Trail, although it's just as rich. This stunningly vibrant remake rises to the top, combining humour and history in one trailblazing package. Just as the more than quarter of a million emigrants did starting in 1834, The Oregon Trail sets you off from St Louis, Missouri. You lead a family of five along the rough trail, maintaining your wagon and keeping food in good supply. The wellbeing of your family is balanced against the speed at which you travel. Travelling at a slow pace may keep your wagon in pristine condition, but it means eating more food because the trip takes longer, and risking a wintry arrival in Oregon. On the other hand, moving too fast tires out your family and wears down your wagon quickly.
