Last July, I posted about finding a copy of an early version of Oregon Trail.\u00a0 I was going to get it running on an emulated PDP 11\/70 running RSTS\/E.\u00a0 I managed to get it all typed into the emulated computer, but it was not running very well.<\/p>\n
Recently, I cleaned up my ability to print listings from my emulated PDP 11\/70.\u00a0 One of the listings I printed right away was for Oregon Trail.<\/p>\n
Last night, I spent about half the night working on Oregon Trail.\u00a0 I loaded up the PDF of Oregon Trail in Creative Computing (V4N3 May\/June 1978) and set the size at 200%.\u00a0 Working with the printed listing and a ruler to mark my place, I went line by line through the program and made corrections on the printout.\u00a0 In some instances I increased the size setting to as high as 1600% in order to clarify what was in the magazine.\u00a0 I spent a matter of a few minutes making changes from the listing to the program and as a finale step ran a cross reference listing and found one variable that was not really supposed to be there.<\/p>\n
I believe I have it running now and have put it in the games library so others my try it out.<\/p>\n
