Oh yeah, also only people in the party will be able to decide what happens (unless people in the party stop posting).

3 spots left.

This is the best Community Projects "game" I have seen so far.

can we use >fasthelp whilst in oregon trail

No, because fasthelp is a DOS 6.0 program, and also you can't open the console and run Oregon Trail at the same time.

But I'll allow it anyway.

You type fasthelp in the terminal and press enter. Nothing happens. Then you look at the paper GTA gave you earlier. It turns out it has a quick command guide on it!



Welcome to DOS! Here are some basic commands to get you started.

Running Programs:
Just type the name of a executable file to run it. You don't need to include the extension.

Getting around:
To change drives, type the drive letter and then a colon. Valid drive labels on the lab computers are:
A: (3.5in Drive)
B: (5.25in Drive)
C: Hard Disk

You must have media in the drive in order to mount it. To view the files in a directory, type dir. To change to a new directory, type cd and then the name of the directory you want to switch to.

To delete files, type del then the file name. To copy something, type copy then the filename. Copy works on directories too. Mkdir and then a name will allow you to make a directory. Rmdir will allow you to remove an existing directory.

Type and then the filename will display the text of a file on your screen.

System Basics:
The lab computers are all outfitted with 2 floppy disk drives, a hard disk to permanently save your files on, a monitor, and a mouse. Installed packages include qbasic and Windows. We will be using qbasic in class to teach basic programming skills in the first part of the semester.

And according to the rules, you're five, even if you didn't intend to be. Congratulations!

Welcome to the Oregon Trail! Starring:

Bret "Shell" Wilson
Bret is a really chill dude and probably smokes some cigars and drinks forties with his bros when he's not farming the family farm in the middle of downtown Chicago.


Anna "Marcem" Wilson
Anna invested well in the dot com bubble of the early 90s and sold off just before the crash, making her extremely wealthy. She basically just sits around on the farm all day enjoying her piles of cash.


Joey "scout" Wilson
Joey is headmates with the entire cast of anime characters and probably has a dozen tumblr accounts where he pretends to be a girl. So far therapy hasn't helped.


Duane "Duane" Wilson
According to Joey, Duane once ate a spider but she says she didn't, that's gross.


Baby "Port"
is actually a time traveling cyborg from the future sent back in time to prevent something from happening. We don't know what it was because they prevented it from happening obviously.
