@gaminghistorianAbout
The Gaming Historian is a documentary series all about the history of video games. The show is researched, written, edited, and created by Norman Caruso. I recently announced I'm no longer working on the channel full-time (check the community tab for my announcement). I'll still be making videos in my spare time. Make sure you subscribe so you don't miss a new episode! Sources for my videos are available on my website, gaminghistorian.com

Video Description
In 1971, three student teachers in Minneapolis, MN created a little computer game about westward expansion in the United States. Over 50 years later, The Oregon Trail series has sold more than 65 million copies and has been inducted into the World Video Game Hall of Fame. But the original creators never made a penny off the game. Learn the story behind one of the most successful edutainment games of all time. A special thank you to @minnmax for providing some footage for this documentary.
