An 80s flashback email made its way through the office the other day. There was an entry about ‘The Oregon Trail’ and how you know you were born in the 80s if you got excited about Oregon Trail Day in computer class. Oh yes, I was one of those kids! The challenge was to try and get through the whole game in the 20 or 25 mins you had in computer class. This was really no easy task and required you to be a master at hunting, pressing the space bar like a crazy person, and it sometimes required you to sacrifice your entire family along the way. No one was safe when it came to westward expansion (and getting to your destination before the bell rang).

Oh I remember that game!! We played it all the time, and would actually fight with my siblings over who would get to play it.
