Oregon Trail creators interviewed

I don't know if UK schools had the early graphics game Oregon Trail for their students (it was, after all, about the population expansion to the West Coast of America), but my elementary school in California did, thus cementing a passion for games and teaching me something at the same time. Mostly I learned that I was rubbish at keeping oxen alive and couldn't stop dystentery from wiping out my party as we trekked across the huge expanse of America with only a wagon and a well-managed system of vittles.

Well, for those with soppy memories like mine, check out this interview with the creators over at College Humor by kids under the age of 14. My favourite question, from Brandon Berkenstein (Age 9): What are the dirtiest words you've ever used for your team names?
