Yeah, same here. I remember being excited whenever my teacher would break out the Apple IIs, because it meant that we got a break from listening to history lectures and got to play a computer game.

My nostalgia is for the first Organ Trail 2 version. The "sudden random event" noise is burned into my brain as a Pavlovian trigger to this day.

Ferries are an excellent way to waste money now so we have tighter decisions to make at trading posts later.

I have faith the RNG won't screw us over on the very first hill like it did on the first river! Show no fear, and continue as normal!

I'm still curious, how would locking the wheels help you descend a slope? Unless you're hoping that friction alone will let your wagon more gently skate down the slope, I can't understand what the advantage would be compared to a more controlled descent by somehow controlling the speed by using those famous ropes/chains/anchors.

Maybe it works better in winter?

So what's with the thread's obsession with grandfather clocks? Is it an in-joke from some previous LP?

I think a mechanic also exists that makes the wagon more likely to tip during river and hill crossings if big useless furniture like the clocks are in there.

What good will money be when we're off the trail? Take the ferry.

Three bucks now versus however much replacement bacon and canteens and such at some trading post? No question, Ferry.

I remember despising Great Salt Lake's heat and lack of water despite loading my wagon up with canteens, so Ft Hall to delay our inevitable death by dehydration.

The thing that struck me about that run is that the least disease RNG I've ever seen in these games. A couple light bouts of cholera and that's it?

Yeah, bullshit. We need a disaster run to show all the ways this game can gently caress you with disease.
