Oregon Trail for iPhone: Out Now

The Portable Gamer writes:

"Oregon Trail: the game so awesome they named an NBA team after it. Well, probably not, but now you can finally justify throwing away that Commodore 64.

The game has hit the App store, after undergoing significant cosmetic surgery and minor gameplay tweaks. It's still the game you know and love, if you're old enough to know and love it.

For the unaware, Oregon Trail features such gameplay elements as: drowning, shooting bison in the face, wagon-based RPG elements, and of course, deadly transmittable diseases."

DUDE!! I LOVED playing this game back in the day on my Apple 2E

I'd loving shooting a Bison, getting tons of food. But then you couldn't carry it all.

And I'd hate it when you go hunt and all there was to shoot were squirrels, or rabbits. Even bears because they had so little meat.

Awww the days of the apple 2e in elementary school (oops I just dated myself)

"Free TPG tip: ALWAYS ford the river. If your oxen drown, they deserved to die. The same goes for little Timmy. He should have learned to swim when he had the chance."

Probably down to the high cost of gaming. Controllers and racing wheels can cost as much as consoles.

This is why there will always be competition in gaming. The possibilities to make huge profits is just too enticing.

Pokémon Go Championship Winner Title Revoked for ‘Unsportsmanlike Conduct’

The winner of the Pokémon Go Championship grand finals in Orlando was stripped of their title, allegedly for 'unsportsmanlike conduct' during their victory celebration. The celebration involved the winner removing their headset, standing up, and pumping their fists before shaking hands with their opponent. Many believe the ruling was excessive and that winner's victory celebration was tame compared to celebrations by winners in other competitive games.

There are people that get offended seeing others just enjoying a moment, or enjoying a hobby, or just having fun.

Can someone explain to me what is so problematic with this? I watched video multiple times and all I see dude having bit of celebration. None of his actions felt aggressive or seem like they symbolize anything... Like winning sure deserves bit of celebration like that. I mean who wants to live in the world where you aren't allowed to be excited or have bit of burst of happiness when you win? Like was he supposed to act like emotionless robot? He should be allowed to have bit of his victory "hell yeah" moment, even if it is before shaking hands with opponent. Like it is not like he didn't shake hands or whatnot. And it is not like he is like some super serious government official to have to stick to protocol to a letter. This whole thing is just ridiculous.
