Hi Dark,

That's cool.  The only version of Oregon Trail that I have played was a GW 
Basic version.  Seems though that it is a very stripped down version.  I was 
told that it is nothing like the original Apple 2e version.

Yes, the original GW Basic version of the golf game had only 3 courses to play. 
 I added 3 and saw that the courses themselves only took a few numbers and 
descriptions to define them, so I then made the golf course maker program so 
that others could also make courses for the game.  The original golf game was 
pure text with no sounds.  And you typed in the amount of power to hit for your 
shot.  So I added all of the sounds including the power indicator sound thing.  
However the original did have some ASCII graphics that were pretty cool.  I 
stripped those out though as they would some times try to be spoken by a screen 
reader.  The trucker game was also pure text with no sounds at all.

I would love to make a Roller Coaster Tycoon type sim, but I am not sure that 
it wouldn't be over my head to try something like that.  I really have never 
programmed a sim.  Maybe I should start out trying a simple one and see how 
that goes.

The last sound that it made was "Zap" .
