Oregon Trail

1.Who do you think this game was made for?
I think this game was made for grades 6th through 8th and kids who are from ages 11 through 14.
2. What does the player see and do?

In the game you see a town at the beginning, that's where you select what you want to be and what supplies will you need for the trip to Oregon. I also see a family traveling from place to place. 
3. What are the rules and how do you win?

The rules would be that you have to have at least one member of your family survive, you need to get to Oregon, you have to have food in order to survive, everyone needs at least two pairs of clothes, and you need oxen in order to ride to Oregon. To win you have to get from Independence Missouri to Oregon.
4. What is the goal of the game?

The main goal in the game is to make it to Oregon with at least one of your family members alive.
5. What will the player learn by playing this game?

The player will learn that it was difficult getting to places like Oregon back in the days. Also people were not rich they didn't have a lot of money to buy so many things. You would also learn that there was a lot of diseases back then.
6. What makes this game fun for the player?

The thing that makes this game fun is that you can go hunting or buy supplies. Hunting is fun because you could make the character move and you could shoot an animal that would count as food. Also you could buy supplies and use them like ammo.
7. What kind of graphic/animation are in the game?

The characters in the game look blury so it kind of has low graphics and it really doesn't have animation the only animation is when the oxen starts moving and when you pass the wagon over the water.
8. What kind of sounds are in the game?

The game has like a buzzing sound but it doesn't sound like a bee buzzing it sounds more like a computer buzzing.
9. What makes this game special and unique?

This game is unique from all the games I played because of it's graphics and also it takes you back into the past and you find out the trouble people had to go through.
10. Why will it sell?

I think this game will sell because it is fun and at the same time it takes you back into the past to learn the difficulties people had to face back in the days.
