Countless hours spent on Oregon Trail II! Fun voice acting and music, perilous moments (ford the river? caulk the wagons and float?), incredibly scary "DUN-DUN!" sound effects when something dangerous happens; traveling music that changes depending on whether you're doing well or poor, and every playthrough feels different. The game's FMVs don't play correctly on modern machines, so this clearly needs the GOG touch to bring it to a modern audience. It's a perfect edutainment game for kids, too. I learned a lot about the old West thanks to this game.

My kids and I played this game a LOT 20-25 years ago, when they were in grade school. We had a copy of the strategy guide, too. I loved how you had a choice of 4 different routes on which to travel, with multiple possible "cutoffs" for portions of each route. I would usually play as a Pharmacist, and stock up on all of the possible medications in the starting town, as those comprised a minute part of the wagon's cargo. I would feel much more comfortable owning a legit download of this game from GOG, rather than a free-but-sketchy download from an abandonware site.
This is, bar none, the best Oregon Trail game I have ever played. I've been enjoying the recent adaptation that came out a few years ago, but Oregon Trail II will always have a special place in my heart. With the different levels of challenge, numerous potential choices for treating illness and injuries, a guidebook to give you in-universe hints as to how to survive the various challenges, and a diary function so you could make up your own stories, it made for quite the absorbing experience. I played it over and over again when I was a kid, and it would be a delight to be able to play it again.

Amazing soundtrack that I still listen to. Gorgeous pictures when traveling on the map. The little details made the game world come to life. I read every page in the in-game guide, and I still think of this game.

I was going through some of my old stuff and I stumbled into the disc for this game. The nostalgia wave was real. This was probably my favorite of the Oregon trail games. I played this ALL the time growing up. I remember the music, the voice acting, and the graphics. Each game felt like a new challenge with it's own unique events. And the option for different destinations really made it feel like you were actually traveling the wild west. It would be amazing to share with my kids if the game gets restored.
