The game was then ported to DSiware, followed by a number of other mobile operating systems and devices.

Nintendo Life wrote: "As it turns out, The Oregon Trail is fun enough to stand on its own outside of class even after all these years.

And with improved load times and added camera functionality, the DSiWare version is the one to beat".

Older gamers that remember the original will get a kick out of the refresh while newcomers will enjoy a game that is always offering something new to do or look at.

And everybody will love the game's awesome hand-drawn visuals that truly pop off the screen.
