Install OG Trail from Google Play. OG Trail runs The Oregon Trail, the unmodified 1990 MS-DOS version, on your Android phone or tablet, with an on-screen keyboard and control pad. For the 1992 Deluxe edition with mouse-driven play, install OG Trail+.
How to do it
- Choose your edition. OG Trail runs the 1990 MS-DOS version: the text-and-keyboard classic. OG Trail+ runs the 1992 Deluxe edition, with point-and-click graphics.
- Install it from Google Play. Search Google Play for OG Trail by UserLAnd Technologies.
- Open it once with internet. The first launch loads the game from the Internet Archive. After that it works without using data.
- Play with the on-screen controls. In OG Trail you don't tap the game screen; use the on-screen keyboard and control pad, where the check and X keys answer yes and no. In OG Trail+, drag on the on-screen trackpad to move the mouse and tap to click.
