This program simulates a trip over the Oregon Trail from Independence, Missouri
|
|
to Oregon City. Your extended family will attempt the 2170 mile Oregon Trail in
|
|
5-6 months. You had $6666 for the trip but after foolishly wasting thousands on
|
|
a sinful night yesterday and paying $200 for a wagon train, you only have an
|
|
ominous $1666. You may buy the following items, or not, if you trust the Devil
|
|
to be faithful to your pact:
|
|
|
|
Food - the more you have, the less chance you'll starve to
|
|
death, which would serve you right.
|
|
Ammunition - $1 only buys 5 bullets due to recent hoarding.
|
|
You will need lots of bullets for self defence
|
|
and for hunting food, assuming you don't miss.
|
|
Clothing - this is especially important for the cold weather
|
|
you will encounter when crossing the mountains, if you
|
|
get there.
|
|
Oxen - the more you spend the better off you'll be, assuming
|
|
they don't die. Or you don't sacrifice them.
|
|
Miscellaneous supplies - this includes medicine and other
|
|
things you'll need.
|
|
|
|
You can spend all your money before you start your trip or you can save some of
|
|
your cash to spend at forts along the way when you run low on supplies.
|
|
Alternatively, you might wish to spend it all as you'll probably just find
|
|
money along the way. You can also go hunting along the way to get more food,
|
|
assuming you're not such a lousy shot as to be unable to hit a helpless animal
|
|
from a cowardly distance.
|
|
|
|
At each turn, all items are shown in dollar amounts except bullets. When asked
|
|
to enter money amounts, don't use a $.
|
|
|
|
Good luck, because the Devil's not going to help out!!! Or...will he?
