🖨️ Oregon Trail began with a school teletype in MN. Did you know Prince attended Bryant Junior High, where early versions were first created for the students. Adafruit Fruit Jam runs the 1978 Creative Computing BASIC listing on a modern RP2350, with Adabot giving a historic tour as it plays. 💜 #OregonTrail
