    The conditions that created it (well, the weather) can be recreated in the Oregon Trail 2 video game!

    Although it’s difficult. You have to really screw around to be as slow, otherwise you reach the pass before the storm hits.

      Ooohhh never played 2, but I do get nostalgic for the OG every now and then! I’ll have to get this ASAP for cozy winter gaming!

      Its SO crazy how much went wrong with that pioneer train. Murders and deaths even before they hit Hastings Cutoff.

        By 2 I mean https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oregon_Trail_II this by the way! Not the newest one which I don’t think had two on it, but I gotta make sure.

        On the easiest difficulty where you don’t uhhh pilot the train, you don’t even take the wrong cutoffs so you generally go so fast you hit the pass early.

        I only managed the conditions twice or so of trying to do so! By having a drowning early lmfao. Then there was some heat stroke and some rattlesnake bites.
