Changes from the original

Gameplay of the 2009 version of The Oregon Trail

The game expands on the 1985 video game by adding more paths the player can take and minigames that can be played beyond the original's hunting game.

Critical reception

NintendoLife wrote "As it turns out, The Oregon Trail is fun enough to stand on its own outside of class even after all these years. And with improved load times and added camera functionality, the DSiWare version is the one to beat." The site gave it an 8 out of 10.[1]

IGN gave it an 8.5 "Great" score,[2] writing "The Oregon Trail may be too easy for its own good at first, but this is still a great play for any gamer. Older gamers that remember the original will get a kick out of the refresh while newcomers will enjoy a game that is always offering something new to do or look at. And everybody will love the game's awesome hand-drawn visuals that truly pop off the screen. This game is gorgeous".[3]
