Alderaan Trail Title-1.png Matt Marchini's designed the game I always wanted to be playing while I was playing The Oregon Trail. Alas, it's just a concept gallery. [Thanks, Judson!]

    When I saw the picture in your post, I immediately thought it was from one of the Space Quests. But Oregon Trial in space would be much better than that hacky series ever was.

    Oregon Trail in Space.. hmm, am I the only one to have played both Starflight Games?

    I had a similar idea, except I was going to call mine The Orion Trail. Except that it turned out that someone else was doing a more serious version of the same thing. I’m not sure if he ever finished it. The mock-ups he did seem to be taken down and this is the last blog post about it I’ve seen. Nice guy, though. We emailed a little bit last year and then I got busy with teaching.
