Do you remember the old classic game Oregon trail?

It was one of those educational type games that was supposed to teach you about the early days of the united states. When people moved in mass across the continent in covered wagons to carve out a new life on the west coast. In that game you took control of a family who was moving to Oregon.

Organ trail is a new twist on this old game. This game takes place during a modern day zombie apocalypse. You are the leader of a small group of survivors that is trying to make its way to safety. Safety however can only be found in one place, in the city of new haven located in Oregon.

This wouldn’t be so bad except you’re stuck in New York and most of the northern Midwest has been nuked. This means you’ll need to load up a station wagon with supplies and drive in a roundabout path to Oregon.

Gameplay

Though the setting is different it holds true to the original game in a lot of ways. You have a number of resources you have to manage during your trip. Spare parts for the car, gasoline, food, ammo, medical supplies and cash.

Like the original game you can control pace and food rationing. A faster pace puts more risk to the car and fatigues the passengers. Less food results in health loss each day. Health is recovered by resting and using medical supplies.

There are obviously new twists to the game appropriate to the setting. One hazard you have to watch out for is infection. People in your group can and will become infected with the zombie virus. At that point you have the decision of killing them off or letting them continue with you. Why would you not kill them off? because you get more points at the end of the game if you don’t. So, keeping them around is a gamble, since they could turn.

The game feels and plays like an old 386 game, which could make it less appealing to younger players who never played the original. The music is original 8-bit songs that are well done.

Conclusion

It is a lot of fun to play but I think the game suffers in replay value. Just like the original game, after you beat it you can try again to get a higher score but there isn’t much reason otherwise.

Something nice about the game is that the in-game help is actually helpful and the advice you’re given is fairly reasonable without really detracting from the game. You’re given hints not step by step instructions.

Ninja Warz – Shuriken Attack

February 11, 2010

this is a new addtion to the ninja warz mini games. In this game you attempt to defend yourself from a hostile blimp FPS style, armed with nothing more then your trusty sword.

So, the scoring in this game is pretty harsh compared to the other mini games. Just like the turtle and hospital suppy game, if you want to get a maxium grade then you have to avoid damage completely. Every time you are hit your grade will decrease by one. However, like the blimp invasion and fire games you are also graded on accuracy. So hacking madly away at the screen will not help you either.

Place your curser here

at the start and then click. Then while holding the button down, slide the mouse so that it is ontop of the projectile and then release the button.

you will perform a nice long devistating slash at the object. At this point you will want to click underneath the blimp and then go again. I find that if you start your click roughly underneath the blimp you can reach the projectile in time. Just be careful, sometimes it will throw things at the edges of the screen, these still need to be “deflected” to get a perfect score since they will still hit you otherwise. The key to winning this one is to click early well before the next target shows up. That way you can immediately mouse over and release. Trying to click after the target is in the air will often result in you missing the target. so click early, the game doesn’t count it as an attack until you release so doing this will not count against you and it makes the game much much easier.

done correctly and you should get a screen like this.

Zoo World – Infinite Money

February 4, 2010

I was rather shocked at this exploit. not so much that it exists but how remarkably simple it is. I would not be surprised if this is corrected in the near future. But for now it works and so for now all you need is time to make all the money you could ever want in this game.

To start with, go to the Visit zoo screen

click on the ticket booth to change your ticket price.

Alter the price one step down from your current price and then click the ok button

You will immediately gain money equal to your current daily profit

Repeat until you have all the money you want


I’m really surprised this was not caught by the development team. I guess it’s just that when you’re normally changing ticket prices you’re not looking at your current money and since you normally get money every 5 minutes it’s easy to over look the fact that you just gained a “zoo day’s worth” of cash instantly.
