The player assumes the role of a wagon leader guiding a party of settlers from Independence, Missouri, to Oregons Willamette Valley via a covered wagon in 1848. The game is the first entry in the Oregon Trail series, and has since been released in many editions by various developers and publishers who have acquired rights to it, as well as inspiring a number of spinoffs (such as The Yukon Trail and The Amazon Trail) and the parody/homage The Organ Trail.
