I have great memories of this game . The Oregon Trail third edition is the best in the series in my opinion. planning out what supplies to bring on the trip at the beginning of the game sets the tone. The VMF scenes are fun and the music is pleasant. The mini games like hunting and fishing were actually fun and we’re looked forward to. but be careful how you shoot the skunk you could get sprayed and end your food gathering trip!!
While I was familiar with the series outside of this one from playing at a friend's and school, this was the edition my family had when my parents purchased a slew of edutainment games with our first family computer. The community theater acting in this one is a real blast, and I have so many fond memories of spending hours try my damndest to make it to Oregon with the folks I grew attached with. Great game.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of TimeThe Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is the fifth main installment of The Legend of Zelda series and the first to be released for the Nintendo 64. It was one of the most highly anticipated games of its age, and is listed among the greatest video games ever created by numerous websites and magazines. The gameplay of Ocarina of Time was revolutionary for its time, it has arguably made more of an impact on later games in the series than any of its predecessors even though they had the same cores of exploration, dungeons, puzzles and item usage. Among the gameplay mechanics, one of the most noteworthy is the time-traveling system. The game begins with the player controlling the child Link, but later on an adult Link becomes a playable character as well and each of them has certain unique abilities. Ocarina of Time also introduces the use of music to solve puzzles: as new songs are learned, they can be used to solve puzzles, gain access to new areas and warp to different locations. Dungeon exploration is somewhat more puzzle-oriented than in earlier games but they are not too complex.
