The ISO version doesn't seem to work properly.

Trenzalore2021-04-120 point

So I figured out how to change my display, but I'm unable to save game? Is there a trick to being able to save the game? Fils save game is greyed out.

Trenzalore2021-03-251 point

This file does not work with a Dell Inspiron 15 laptop with Windows 10. I tried to open almost every file after extracting to C: and nothing really worked; I got the error message 'Oregon Trail 5 was unable to switch your video mode. Please set your display to 640 x 480, thousands of colors and restart the game.'

Hey guys, if you're having trouble playing this game, or any game for that matter, where the provided game file(s) includes a file that ends in .ISO, .IMG, etc. (a CD or DVD image file: https://dotwhat.net/type/cd-dvd-disk-image-files ), then you'll need to mount the image file as a 'virtual disc' using a disc image mounting software (i.e. Virtual Clone Drive: https://www.elby.ch/en/products/vcd.html ). When you 'mount' a 'virtual disc' on your computer, the computer responds the same way as if you had inserted a CD or DVD into the computer's physical disc drive (even though it's actually a virtual disc drive that's 'playing' a mounted disc image file). FYI: I'm not affiliated with Elby Elaborate Bytes (Virtual Clone Drive), I just really like their software! I hope this info helps at least a few of you guys out a bit! Happy Gaming! :-D

Esther2020-04-306 points

I don't know how to change it from .iso to .rar...Maybe that would be a place to start

Princess2020-04-270 point

I miss this game a lot

Tou9112020-04-210 point

The file is NOT corrupt. Burn the iso image using IMGBURN to a cd and voila. You have a game. Just install it from the cd.

I'm on Windows 7 and can't play. I'm currently trying the '.iso to .rar Method,' and am not seeing an 'Installation Directory,' anywhere after that. Please, help the Windows 7er's, please!?

Lindwyrm2019-12-152 points

For some reason, I cannot load up the iso file to VirtualBox or any other method, because it says that the image is corrupted? I have no idea why that is, but is getting annoying to try and find ways to fix it when I want to do is play an old game from my childhood.

Xzavier202019-10-246 points

Disc image is corrupted cant mount the file :/

MickeyGFan19952019-10-06-4 points

All you have to do to is extract the zip, change the .iso to a .rar, and extract with 7zip.
once extracted, open the INSTALL directory, and doubleclick install.exe.
For best results install on windows 7 or XP.

King6of7kings2019-08-251 point

I downloaded on a windows 10 acer nitro 5, and every download and every program states the iso is either unknown or damaged
help

Software_Dude2019-06-010 point

If there are any GNU/Linux users out there, I've got two methods you can use to read this weird image.
Method #1: there's the Unarchiver (unarciver.org). To use this program just type (without quotes) 'unar Oregon.Trail.v5.iso', and this will extract the ISO to ./Oregon.Trail.v5/.
Method #2: FuseISO (sourceforge.net/projects/fuseiso/) can mount this ISO to any arbitrary directory, provided that FUSE is installed, and the user has read+write+execute permissions to said directory. Since it's a FUSE-based mounter, it doesn't require root to use. (Do note: I tried mounting this without fuseiso using the 'mount' command, and it failed.) Here's how you do it (again, no quotes): 'fuseiso Oregon.Trail.v5.iso [directory]'. Be sure to replace '[directory]' with an actual directory.
Once you've got access to the files in this image, you can then use something like genisoimage or mkisofs to make a 'normal' ISO file. (You might want to use '-l' or '-J' to avoid truncating the files to 8.3 filenames. Alternatively, you could use UDF, but I don't recommend that for anyone who plans on mounting this into a virtual machine running an old version of Windows.) You may also be able to run this program from WINE, although I have not tested this.
BTW, when I ran this game, I got some weird TLC launcher-thing that didn't seem to work. To work around this, just go to the installation directory (probably 'C:Program FilesThe Learning CompanyOregon Trail 5' if you installed it on an old Windows (virtual) machine), and execute 'ot5.exe'.

The installation process is very complicated... Drop it. ????

Windows 10 has difficulties opening many perfectly good ISO files and will not open any BIN/CUE files that I have seen thus far.
PowerISO CD Emulator much better then MS and works on most ISO & BIN/CUE files.

GOW2019-04-10-1 point

every time I try and download it on my PC it takes me to other sites for something else, I remember playing this game as a kid and want to give it another go please fix that problem!

GiSWiG2019-02-054 points

Here is how to get it to work and not need the CD to play (I hate using CDs when I can):
Use ImgBurn (free) to burn the ISO. Yes, others have said this too.
You can then use ImgBurn to make an ISO of the CD you just burned to have a valid ISO.
To play without installing AND to play on Windows 10:
1. Create a folder on your hard drive where you want to run the game from, for example C:GamesOT5. This path CANNOT have spaces!
2. Copy the DATA folder from the CD/ISO to C:GamesOT5
3. Copy the Oregon5.Eng and Oregon5.Fst from the HD folder on the CD/ISO to C:GamesOT5
4. Copy the three files, binkw32.dll, OREGON5.INI, OT5.EXE from the HDWin folder on the CD/ISO to C:GamesOT5
You should now have the Data folder and the five files listed above in C:GamesOT5
5. Edit the C:GamesOT5OREGON5.INI. Add 'rsrcpath=C:GamesOT5Data' minus quotes under the [cdrom] tag. It should look like this:
[cdrom]
rsrcpath=C:GamesOT5Data
This worked for me on two Win10 x64 PCs. No compatibility settings were needed. If it doesn't work, make sure the path you put the game under (i.e. C:GamesOT5) and the rsrcpath in the INI file match AND the rsrcpath is the path to the game folder WITH 'Data' at the end. Remember, NO SPACES in the path.
This also gets past installing the annoying and irrelevant launcher the standard installer installs.

Thanks for program and esp. thanks to those who gave the info to use the iso and Imgburn to get these running, now to get that pesky #3 to work

Tinsel Bird2019-01-311 point

After trying some of the iso burners and having errors, I used ImgBurn. Worked perfectly with a burnable disc. Now I'm enjoying this silly fun game again!

Hank2019-01-021 point

If unable to open the file after downloading use Winiso to open
After you install the game this will let you bypass the TLC Launcher that will crash
Go to C:Program Files (x86) open the folder The Learning Company you will c to folders Oregon Trail 5 and TLC Launcher
open Oregon Trail 5 on otc5 right click on otc5 go to properties at the top click on compatibility and try
windows xp service pack 2 if the game dont worry use the run compatibility trouble shooter
in windows 10 if you get a screen saying anything bout the screen it go away in a sec r 2
after you get the game to work make a short cut to the desk top
Hope this works did 4 me

Meckie2019-01-020 point

Winiso will open the game but has issues in windows 10 and will not work

none14982018-11-03-1 point

to those having ISO is corrupted issue use PowerIso to open iso file

BearWithMe2018-10-010 point

I really want to play this game but sadly like others have said before, the files seem to be corrupted or will not be mounted. Please fix asap!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

The Oregon Trail is a computer game originally developed by Don Rawitsch, Bill Heinemann, and Paul Dillenberger in 1971 and produced by the Minnesota Educational Computing Consortium (MECC) in 1974. The original game was designed to teach school children about the realities of 19th century pioneer life on the Oregon Trail. The player assumes the role of a wagon leader guiding his or her party of settlers from Independence, Missouri, to Oregon's Willamette Valley on the Oregon Trail via a covered wagon in 1848. The game has been released in many editions by various developers and publishers who have acquired rights to it, as well as inspiring a number of spinoffs and parodies.
The player can choose to be a banker from Boston, a carpenter from Ohio, or a farmer from Illinois. Each profile starts with a specified amount of money to spend at the supply store (the banker has the most, the farmer the least), before beginning their journey. After the player sets off from Independence, Missouri, there are several landmarks along the trail where players can make decisions, shop for supplies or rest. Players can purchase supplies such as oxen to pull the wagon, food to feed their party, clothing to keep their party warm, ammunition for hunting, and spare parts for the wagon. These landmarks include: Kansas River, Big Blue River, Fort Kearney, Chimney Rock, Fort Laramie, Independence Rock, South Pass, Fort Bridger, Green River, Soda Springs, Fort Hall, Snake River, Fort Boise, Grande Ronde Valley in the Blue Mountains, Fort Walla Walla, and The Dalles. When approaching Oregon's Willamette Valley, travelers can either float a raft through the Columbia River Gorge or take the Barlow Road.
An important aspect of the game was the ability to hunt. Using guns and bullets bought over the course of play, players select the hunt option (#8) and hunt wild animals to add to their food reserves. In the original version, players controlled the wagon leader who could aim a rifle in one of eight directions and fire single shots at animals. In later versions, players hunted with a cross-hair controlled by the mouse or touchscreen. While the player can shoot as many wild games as they have bullets, only 100 pounds of meat can be carried back to the wagon at once in early versions of the game. In later versions, as long as there were at least two living members of the wagon party, 200 pounds could be carried back. Also in later versions, players could hunt in different environments (hunting during winter showing snow-covered grass, for example), and the over-hunting of animals would result in 'scarcity' that reduced the number of animals appearing later in the game. Some versions also allow the player to go fishing.
Throughout the course of the game, members of the player's party can fall ill and not rest, which causes further harm to the victim. The party can die from various causes and diseases, such as measles, snakebite, exhaustion, typhoid, cholera, and dysentery, as well as from drowning or accidental gunshot wounds. The player's oxen are also subject to injury and death.
At the conclusion of the journey, a player's score is determined in two stages. In the first stage, the program awards a 'raw' or the unscaled number of points for each remaining family member (weighted by party health), each remaining possession (weighted by type), and remaining cash on hand (one point per dollar). In the second stage, the program multiplies this raw score depending on the party's initial level of resources determined by the profession of the party's leader; for example, in the Apple II game, a banker starting with $1600 receives no bonus, the score of a carpenter starting with $800 is doubled, and the score of a farmer starting with $400 is tripled. The player's score is added to a high-score list.

Platform:

This version of The Oregon Trail was designed for personal computers with operating system MS-DOS (Microsoft Disk Operating System), which was operating system developed by Microsoft in 1981. It was the most widely-used operating system in the first half of the 1990s. MS-DOS was supplied with most of the IBM computers that purchased a license from Microsoft. After 1995, it was pushed out by a graphically more advanced system - Windows and its development was ceased in 2000. At the time of its greatest fame, several thousand games designed specifically for computers with this system were created. Today, its development is no longer continue and for emulation the free DOSBox emulator is most often used. More information about MS-DOS operating system can be found here.
