[QUOTE="Admin, post: 65286, member: 1"] Apple is developing a movie based on Oregon Trail, the beloved educational computer game that has spawned multiple generations of in-jokes and memes among gamers. [URL='https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/']THR[/URL] reports that the film, which is currently early in development, will be an action-comedy with a handful of musical numbers in the vein of Barbie.

The story, as you might expect, will be about a 19th-century covered wagon train traveling to the Willamette Valley in Oregon. The musical aspect offers a glimpse of what to expect, suggesting that it will be a fairly irreverent take on the historical adventure.

The original game was developed as a text-based adventure in 1971 and produced by the Minnesota Educational Computer Consortium starting in 1975. It found a lasting place in pop culture as generations of American school children watched their characters die of typhoid, dysentary, and all manner of other maladies, or wandered around shooting way too many buffalo.
