Organ Tail

Ah the Oregon Tail, I remember playing that on an Apple computer at school one time. We didn't get a lot of time on th-- Wait, wait, Organ Trail?

Organ Tail is the Oregon Trail, only full of zombies, set after a nuclear horrible war.

The game opens with you picking up your friends in DC as the government announces it's being abandoned and nuked. And thus begins your trek to the west coast... in a station wagon.

You lose mufflers, starve, get shot at, bitten by zombies, and die of cholera. Every now and then there's a settlement to buy supplies at. Go foraging and zombie fighting. Fend of biker gangs. Dodge zombie deer. Get bitten by zombies and infected. Get radiation poisoning.

It's a pretty faithful remake of Oregon Trail, only reskinned.

It was a lot of fun to play, but it's pretty gimmicky. At least to me. I played a game of it for the twisted nostalgia factor, but now that I've done it, I don't really have any urge to go back to it.
