Скачать или смотреть Oregon Trail (DOS) Speedrun of 8,000+ Points in 29 min 18 sec

This is a speedrun idea that I came up with and implemented for the original Oregon Trail, initially made for Apple II and later released for DOS, which is the version readily available for play online. You can play exactly what I did here:

The goal of my run was the fastest time while getting 8,000 or more points at the end (which in the end means at least one point more, by going as a farmer and having 2,667 tripled at the end.)

Timing starts when I select "Travel the trail" from the main menu, and ends when the "Willamette Valley" arrival screen comes up after arriving in Oregon. In the video I explain it at 1:30.

UPDATE to this comment on the video itself: timing started on 3:05 for this video. At 29:18 later (my speedrun time), this should put it at 32:23 in video time point for the end...

Hunting is very obviously a frustration for speedrunners of all kinds at this game, with each session taking up 32 seconds of real time (as I determined during my run) and thereby improvements to this time will be mainly about increasing "hunting efficiency" with a maximum potential of 100 pounds of food per day, minus rations for the party traveling.

UPDATE: You can actually hit the Escape key to exit hunting without exiting the whole trail you're on in the DOS version!! This fact actually becomes obvious if you look at any of the actual "Hunting Instructions" given when you go hunting, allowing me to save tons of time with the same quality "in-game" play. I just had to try actually hitting ESC and having it exit out of just the hunting session and not the whole trail. I'm not sure if there is any way to do this in Apple II, though, so if there isn't, this run remains in a way "true to Apple II" in that it can be replicated there. If you know about this for sure, feel free to comment about it!
