An Oregon Trail game to download or buy that is compatible with Windows 7?
I would like to play the Deluxe version or the 5th installment mainly but any one of the games that's compatible will be fine. I heard about this Dosbox program that makes old games compatible with your computer, is Dosbox compatible with W7? Please don't send me anywhere that I need to fill out a long scam survey just to download the game or anything like that. And please don't send me to http://www.virtualapple.org/oregontraildisk.html that game cuts off at the end.
@sam: once downloaded I clicked "Oregon-Trail-deluxe" and then "Setup" but nothing happens, on the other icons in the file, when i click on them it asks if i want to extract, should i just go ahead and do that?
sam and O.M. both of your links download the exact the same file. just mentioning it for reference.

You can download the game eg. here:

(use the free download option)
However you'll definitely need the mentioned DOSBox program, it is of course compatible with Windows 7 - www.dosbox.com . Or, you can download Dfend - it's more user friendly - http://dfendreloaded.sourceforge.net/

Based on the screen shots, is this the game you're talking about?

If so, tell me in the additional details and then I'll write a tutorial on how to set it up on Windows 7.

I got Oregon Trail about a month ago off of Ebay, for 5 bucks, total with shipping. Just check and make sure what version it is, I got the 5th version, its the last one, and its not as fun as the version we used to have, instead of seeing yourself traveling the trail, you see a big map and watch the line on it, that kinda sucks. But you do still get to hunt and even fish.
