      Actually, love and prefer these keyboards. Always gave me a "typewriter feel." I like getting the haptic-like feedback from the keys.
      Amazon and eBay actually sell these keyboards. I brought one called, Key-U-Can-See (for my aging eyes) and it gives that same "old school vibe."
      Feels like I'm really chugging away while at work. Of course, the noise can annoy others. ⌨️🤫🤭

    Played it before there were graphics. Such a great memory. My second or third grade class even played a non-computer version of this when only the text based version existed. Teams of three or four kids made up each wagon train. We played in turns. Up to a few per day. Had a large, hand-drawn map that was kept hidden behind the pull-down world map. When the teacher would reveal that map before the end of class was the highlight of my day. We even played a few more games with other themes that used huge maps. A gold rush game and a fantasy game (similar to d&d 0e).

    That disk seek sound is sooo nostalgic to me. We had a bunch of apple II computers in my elementary school computer room and like 4 windows PCs. I had a windows PC at home so that was great but rhe Apple’s were always an enigma to me. Like how did it work with no GUI? blew my mind back then. Obviously I know now that they run on basic which was on its way out long before I saw it in the 90s but I always loved everything about those computers and still do!

    ❤ I mean, I always liked Oregon trail, however, I can hardly fathom why indeed it was the killer app that got ingrained so popularly, except that maybe because we rarely had enough time sufficient to finish the game in the time allotted to being in the computer lab, it’s ending left much mystery to the imagination. I can only count on one hand how many times I or anyone else successfully made it to the end, before being lined up to go back to regular classroom work. I think I enjoyed Spellevator, more because of it’s platform of elements, and spelling was really easy for me to return to the platform of elements.
