Long Awaited Oregon Trail Sequel Announced

Today, the legendary game company MECC has announced that they are back in business. The educational game giant has apparently been working on Oregon Trail 6 since last year October, and have set the release date as sometime in the summer of 2013. Leaked concept art suggests that the game will be more interactive, more educational, and more fun than ever before. Don Rawitsch, the original creator of Oregon Trail held a press conference last week at the historical location of Fort Laramie. 

"What we are trying to do, I think, is to teach these kids. That's what it comes down to really. I mean, the Oregon Trail is about learning. And a little bit of hunting. We have completely overhauled the hunting system. Now, depending on the size of your party, you can carry anywhere from 10 to 500 pounds of meat back. We've revolutionized also the river fording algorithm, and trading has been overhauled. Needless to say, this is going to be GOTY 2013, not a doubt in my mind."

More dysentery, more ox thiefs, more Inependence Rock, more buffalo hunting, summer 2013.
