Originally, he and his roommates had depicted America's indigenous people pretty stereotypically. Native Americans in the game mainly showed up as hostiles who attacked the settlers. But as Don reads the journals, he discovers that most of the pioneers had found indigenous folks to be mostly kind, helping them forage by day and navigate by night.

So Don writes new encounters with members of the Sioux and the Pawnee and the Shoshone tribes. And these characters show up to do things like teach you about which plants are edible and which ones are going to make you vomit up your cornmeal. After lots of research and rewriting, Oregon Trail Version 2 is so historically accurate that Lewis and Clark would have been impressed.

But as anyone who started a company knows, it's exciting when you launch it, but you kind of get curious about the numbers. So he slides into the airtight room where Mech's game logs are kept. He's curious, but he's also nervous because the numbers, they won't lie.

Now, Mech has a bunch of other educational games in their library at this point, like Lemonade Stand, which teaches kids about business. And on the day that Don peeps the numbers, those other games have been played around 200 or 300 times each. Okay, so Jack, how did the Oregon Trail do in its debut? It's been played around 10,000 times on that one single day. 10,000?

thousand plays, literally 50 times more than that lemonade stand thingy. The Oregon Trail is a runaway hit, Mech's most popular game by far. And that's when the Oregon Trail's future is forever changed by a company called Apple. It's been a long day at the MEC offices in St. Paul, Minnesota.

In fact, it's been a long week because MEC needs to purchase about 500 computers to distribute to Minnesota's computer labs. And Dale LaFrance has been fielding pitches from computer companies all week. He's exhausted, but the day is almost over, and he's looking forward to knocking off work and catching some hockey on TV.
