    wait. “points to buy skills?” This I do not remember from this game. I remember you picked your stats at the beginning, spent your money in Independence, and then off you went. I don’t remember RPG elements.

      In the Oregon Trail 2, yes. You could do skills. I don’t have the windows 95 vm setup on the new machine, so I can’t get my cd up and check. But yes, it’s why I always was a doctor, because some people came with skills already, and medical skills helped people die like. A smudge less.

        At some point I’m going to have to spin up DOSBOX and see if I can get my old copy running.

          Good luck!

          It’s been about 2 years since I played

          Also disclaimer I have memory issues so maybe I’m using the wrong words for what things are? But I do remember one thing was Spanish and the official guide said if you know Spanish you didn’t have to buy the skill lmfao.
