Title: The Oregon Trail Game
Post by: iGuy on April 04, 2008, 10:35:14 PM

I just bought The Oregon Trail 5th Edition for my son.  I loaded it onto my Intel iMac running Tiger.  Message popped up asking for New York font.  Loaded the font from an old OS 9 Cd I have.  The game now starts up fine but having another problem.  The audio cut in and out when the characters are speaking.

Anyone else try this game with Tiger or newer with any success?

Unfortunately this is a known problem and the manufacturer doesn't guarantee Mac use over 10.3.

Apple® OSX 10.4.x or 10.5.x

Oregon Trail® 5th Edition was designed for use with OS 8.6-10.3.x, so we would be unable to guarantee compatibility with all OS 10.4.x or 10.5.x systems. If Oregon Trail® 5th Edition is used on an OS 10.4.x or 10.5.x system, the sound may skip or distort.

However if you have Windows on your Intel you might be able to get it to work. Some people here did.

however - i simply installed the game on the windows xp sp2 partition (via boot camp) and it runs perfectly! so, don't run in on your new mac os and you'll be okay.

Thank you very much for that information, krissel.  My son does have my old iMac in his room running OS 9.1.  We will have to play the game on it.
