I own both Oregon Trail and Amazon Trail. And I have actually always liked Amazon Trail better than Oregon Trail.
This game allows the player travel down the Amazon River, while exploring events that occurred on the river during different time periods. The player can interact with simulated Native Americans, Henry Ford, Teddy Roosevelt, etc. The player can also learn about different diseases, species of plants and animals, etc.
It's a great twist to learning. I recommend any parent to buy this for his/her kid.

Don't bother with this software if you own a Mac that you've purchased in the last 5 years. This software is from 1999. Literally.

The installer will only install in MacOS "Classic" mode, which means that it won't install on any Mac running an operating system version newer than 6 or more years.

I had high hopes for this game since Oregon Trail was such a good game. This game was a major disapointment, and extremly boring. It was as if it was written by a completely different company. Do not waste your money on this game, but I do recommend Orepgon Trail.
