  • MIDAS T. GOLDEN LOL WTF (The Yukon Trail)

    LOL MIDAS T. GOLDEN.

    (TW: Discussions of Suicide)

    Conrads, I was unable to complete filming for the start of my next series, so instead enjoy me playing through The Yukon Trail on windows 3.1 (well, in browser anyway).

    This is in the same genre as the oregon trail, and in fact was produced by MECC. The goal is to teach children about the 1897 yukon gold rush. It is unique in that it has a pretty realistic take on gold prospecting, namely that it sucks and the easiest way to make money in a gold rush is sell eggs.

    I played this a lot as a kid and I hate to say it but this is probably the best score I've ever gotten in this game.

    Oh Yeah FYI the game meantions a suicide from out of nowhere so that's cool I guess. I put the TW at the beginning for a reason. the exact time is 34:29 to 34:45

    The yukon trail is abandonware and can be downloaded here: https://www.myabandonware.com/game/the-yukon-trail-3st

  • Playing: Dreamlight Valley - Boss Up & Thingamabobs, Gadgets, and Gizmos

    Continuing Boss Up

    Starting Thingamabobs, Gadgets, and Gizmos.

    I would have finished Boss Up if it weren't for the damn kingfish needing to be caught at night. So I went to Ariel.

    Also very much had technical difficulties during this run. I think the game needed an update but didn't tell me so it was being glitchy. An uninstall and a reinstall should fix it tho
