Has the hunting part of the game been replaced with a minigame called "Bacon Ninja"? If so, they'll have covered all their overused internet memes.

Zombies makes no difference to me as long as I can still be a "banker from boston".

"You have died of dysentery....and risen from the grave as an unholy abomination that eats the rest of the settlers.


GAME OVER."

What's worse than being chased by the undead in a covered wagon?

Being chased by undead with dysentery in a covered wagon.

Those zombie shiats will kill ya, then raise you from the dead.

HAHA! Zombies! "You have died of ..."

Oh.

I see that obscure reference has already been made.

My name is Andy and I'm from Oregon so I approve of this headline wholeheartedly.

So instead of hunting deer and squirrels, we can shoot at the undead wandering about the wooded glens?

"You have shot 413 pounds of shambling horrors. Unfortunately, you were only able to carry 100 pounds back to your wagon."

Oh my god!! I have 5 people in my party and together we can only carry 100 pounds of rotting flesh back to the wagon?! What's wrong with you people!!

The Last Stand: Union City is a fun adventure on armorgames.

Does your party flip out, lose a little girl then go and scream at Jesus in a church?

Or later your son gets gutshot and you suddenly get this compulsion to run off and tell your wife?

/Gave up after that

Hopfully the stores will be carrying the right ammo.

Midway USA is currently out of stock. Backorders are OK, though. (new window)

From FTA, you can play this online. Yes, it's a lot of fun although somehow can get heal from a zombie bite by stopping to rest for a few days:

Organ Trail

When Chuck Norris plays Oregon Trail, dysentery dies of Chuck Norris.

I'm so sorry. I've been saving that up for a while. It's out of my system now.

A while? I'm pretty sure they had that joke on the actual Oregon Trail.

Oh well....I just stopped and killed "Poo Dawg" in the game. I figured he ate too much anyway.

I feel like there's a joke to be made about "disinterring" but I'm not the man to make it.
 
2012-01-06 01:37:32 PM
But will there be grandfather clocks?

Seemed like it was a lot tuffer than the original, I ended up with a 966 first go at it ( i'm sure that won't be hard to beat)

I was once a big fan of zombies, but I now say this from the bottom of my heart: Stop making zombified versions of other pop culture things. This includes YOU, Fark, with your stupid zombified movie posters. This includes everyone who makes a game based on another game, but with zombies. This includes every filmmaker who adds "zombie" to their title just to jump on the bandwagon. This includes authors who try to duplicate the oddball success of "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" by throwing zombies into other classic stories.

In other words, we've hit peak zombie. It's stupid now. Please stop.

This also goes for vampires, too (to a lesser degree). Exception: Vampires that aren't beautiful.

It's OVER. Find new monsters.

How about the Aquaman of monsters, the Creature from the Black Lagoon?

I thought Jaws was the Aquaman of monsters.

Now we're stuck with werewolves and creepy dolls. Wizards of the coast is already on those too.

The only thing I could think of that's worse than being chased by a zombie is being chased by a zombie that died from dysentery.

And how will it look? "We decided to stick to the Apple II color palette," he said, "which is like 15 colors that all look like they came from an Easter-themed coloring book."

You're doing it right!

Well, ol' Shiatstain was incapacitated by dysentary one too many times and died.

Mummies predate zombies. Also more powerful since they had their brains removed during the embalming process and they STILL move fine.

The first time I heard about this, it was just before I was about to go to bed. I played the web version, and got way too wrapped up in it and lost several hours of sleep. I did manage to make it to Oregon with 4 of my party alive, which I thought was pretty good.

It feels exactly like playing the regular Oregon Trail, but with some clever adaptations of the game mechanics. I did feel that it was too easy to continue on with members of your party suffering from zombie bites.
 
2012-01-09 02:06:45 AM
i would much rather have an app that let me play Oregon Trail than Organ Trail
