I was on Facebook today and saw someone put this picture up for "Throwback Thursday". 

It really made me reminisce about all the hours and hours I spent playing "The Oregon Trail" in Elementary school. The Oregon Trail on some levels had good values in the lessons of survival in life. It was so fun that we didn't even notice how crappy the graphics really were back then.

Internet although had been invented in the mid 1980's nobody really knew about it so playing or interacting with someone was not even a possibility but it didn't matter. All that mattered was getting farther along on that trusty trail than I did the last time.

Here's saluting you "The Oregon Trail:" The first video game I played as a kid and still better than all these virtual games they have out these days.
