The Oregon Trail is an educational strategy video game developed and published by the Minnesota Educational Computing Consortium (MECC).

In the game, the player assumes the role of a wagon leader guiding a party of settlers from Independence, Missouri, to Oregon's Willamette Valley via a covered wagon on the Oregon Trail in 1848.

Along the trail, the player makes choices about supplies, resource management, and the route, and deals with hunting for food, crossing rivers etc.
