Issues fixed
Running on 64-bit Windows
Version 1.2
The Oregon Trail uses a 16-bit installer and executable that is incompatible with 64-bit versions of Windows. The 1.2 release includes a 32-bit executable that can be run on 64-bit systems but the setup is still 16-bit. The easiest way to run this version on modern systems is to simply copy the OTWIN32 folder from the disc to your destination of choice.
