I wonder if the local cops come by and shut you down for operating without a permit?

Pish tosh. I was playing this exact same game on an Apple II/c in 1987, except it was just called Lemonade Stand then and the graphics have been upgraded slightly.

I remember my elementary school had that, the old version that is, as a math learning tool.

That game is pretty cool.

Oh man, the memories. Except that back then it use to fit on a single 5.25" floppy, and I can't even remember if it has sound or not. We played it on a monochrome monitor on our classroom Apple II, and I remember completely sucking at the game. 1) because I was just learning English back then, and 2) I could never make sense of the forecasts and fucked up all the ordering and pricing.RedImperator wrote:Pish tosh.

It's shareware. There's something like a 60 minutes limit on it too.darthdavid wrote:Is it a free download? I can't see any text one way or the other.

Figures. They never list the little details like paying for it or how much it costs
et cetera.

Of course. They want you to play a little, then pay a bunch of money to keep playing. Maybe you can find the game off another website.

!!! I love that game. One of the few times I made it to the end, I had killed all but one of my people and most of my supplies...phongn wrote:Oregon Trail forever!Alex Moon wrote:Screw lemonade tycoon. Bookworm is crack

Heh...that's right. We were playing computer games BEFORE YOU WERE BORN (I've waited for YEARS to say something like that).HemlockGrey wrote:Whoa...you guys are ancient.

King of Dragon Pass is also a great game (not freeware tho)

I played Oregon Trail. I used to buy absurd numbers of bullets and spend most of the game hunting.
I also used to have the original Amazon Trail....

That was always incredibly fun for me, when I should have been learning some valuable skill from the game (such as don't cross deep rivers when you know you won't float).HemlockGrey wrote:I played Oregon Trail. I used to buy absurd numbers of bullets and spend most of the game hunting.

I remember that game, and the funny thing is it's surprisingly hard to deliberately kill yourself. I once set out with no food at all and got halfway across before I died, and this is after wrecking my wagon by trying to ford a 20' deep river in full flood.Mitth-raw-nuruodo wrote:That was always incredibly fun for me, when I should have been learning some valuable skill from the game (such as don't cross deep rivers when you know you won't float).HemlockGrey wrote:I played Oregon Trail.

Oh..and I've been playing Oregon Trail since before you were born!
I feel so special when I can say something like that.

I never TRIED to kill myself, but my party would always fall asleep on a pile of poisonous snakes or something stupid like that. I never made it more than 3/4 of the way with all my members (and I only made it that far once)... I would never join a wagon that has me as it's leader

Bwahahaha, but it was so much FUN to do that.Mitth-raw-nuruodo wrote:That was always incredibly fun for me, when I should have been learning some valuable skill from the game (such as don't cross deep rivers when you know you won't float).HemlockGrey wrote:I played Oregon Trail.

Whoa... How did you manage that? I started out with like almost no food, put everyone on generous rations so it'd be gone, and forded every stream I came across. I didn't make it to even the first fort.jmac wrote:I remember that game, and the funny thing is it's surprisingly hard to deliberately kill yourself.

BTW, who knows where you can find a decent copy of it? Something more old school than some recent version I saw...original cool, but remakes still good.
God, I loved that original...
