    Organ Trail just isn't that good, it has a good concept behind it but is let down by it's repetitive "zombie apocalypse" generalizations, with no unique twists. Yes, it's a spoof on the Oregon Trail we all played as a kid, but I believe the original was better (and more enjoyable!).

Organ Trail falls short with it's graphics, it goes for an old school retro style feel, but the pixel art is not good, it's just too awkward, it doesn't settle right and it feels like somethings missing. Don't get me wrong, I'm actually a huge fan of pixel art and games that use those bitcrushed sounds that appeared on consoles like the NES or SNES. But Organ Trail just didn't put enough effort in, and they got what they deserved: A game that's more of a chore than entertainment, that will only capture your attention for about an hour, two if you're lucky, and that you probably won't return to too many times in the future.… Expand

    This game is only for those that find the era of Commodore 64 appealing. As I'm not the biggest fan of the style nor the gameplay mechanics I'm unable to appreciate this "minigame" of zombie survival. The gameplay consists of minigames where you either walk and shoot or drive with a car in a retro-pixel-world and occationally stop to scavenge for resources though scavenging sounds too goodThis game is only for those that find the era of Commodore 64 appealing.

The gameplay consists of minigames where you either walk and shoot or drive with a car in a retro-pixel-world and occationally stop to scavenge for resources though scavenging sounds too good as it's usually the minigame where you shoot zombies and collect the resources by walking over them. The price is very low so I can't warn about that but for me this game represents free-ware gaming.… Expand

    This game isn't going to win any awards in the graphics or sound department but you tend to get that when parodying a computer game from the 80s. If you're not put off by the retro feel to the game and always wanted to try a zombie version of The Oregon Trail, now is your chance!

    I had fun. I named the main character after my girlfriend and accidentally shoot the character named after me.. does that mean anything... should I be worried?

    Much has already been said, I add my vote and some of my own considerations:

    - the game is ok, nothing to say about it, but it seems not polished enough to grab your attention for more than... two, three hours... - the graphics, "minimal", seems too simplified for a PC game - some event, but not much variation, at the end So, this can bring us to a 7, or a 8, if you like the style    Much has already been said, I add my vote and some of my own considerations:

    So, this can bring us to a 7, or a 8, if you like the style of game and have some fun.

    Frankly, despite the very low price (excellent, I would say), after only two hours of play I had enough: overall, the game seemed somewhat bland.    … Expand

    A lightweight survival lark, but one that proves itself worthy of the great pun in its title. [December 2013, p.85]

    Occasionally repetitive, sometimes puerile but for the most part amusing. [June 2013, p.89]

    Through wit, ingenuity, and good old fashioned sadism, it manages to succeed against the odds and provide a truly rewarding spin on a number of classic ideas. For the price, you really couldn't ask for more.
