Oregon Trail may have been the first video game I ever played (I can't be sure, I also have fond memories of Jetpack from around the same time), and it was definitely one of the influences of turning me towards my current love of all things video game. My questions for you are:
1) Were you big into games when you made Oregon Trail (not necessarily video games, but board games, role playing games, etc..?) or was this just a novel idea for something you wanted to try
2) How big into playing video games did you get? Are you a casual gamer? Have you given up games by now? Did you never really get into them? Or is it a big part of your life?
