The Oregon Trail for Windows
MECC's 1993 Windows 3.x release of The Oregon Trail, the most polished version of the original design. Same trail and same professions, with a sanded-down interface, illustrated events, day-night animation, and a CD edition that added WAV music and full vocals.
From DOS Deluxe to Windows 1.0
A year after the VGA-overhauled DOS release (numbered 3.0), MECC put The Oregon Trail in front of the new Windows 3.1 home audience. The Windows port shipped numbered 1.0, a deliberate restart of the version chain that every later Windows release would inherit.
Most of the changes are cosmetic. Two large interface buttons, Pause and Continue, moved from the third column to the second, slotting between map and diary. The font and the landmark image both grew slightly thanks to a tighter use of the yellow background. The animation window finally has weather and a day-night cycle: the oxen now actually unhitch and rest at the campfire when night falls, and you can't hunt at night, or in heavy rain.
