Similar to the article we made on installing and playing Oregon Trail, you can now introduce your family to the nostalgic floppy-disk game Number Munchers! The only computer game your first grade teacher let you play. Play different modes of math problems, like fractions, multiples, addition, etc. All you have to do to win is press space bar and "eat" the numbers, whilst avoiding the evil Troggles. They kill you like no tomorrow and give you more numbers to eat before passing the level. Damn Troggles.

Know your folder location and then type:

MOUNT C C:\*your folder*   --- example: I type "MOUNT C C:\GAMES\NUMBER-MUNCHERS

Once the local directory is mounted, in two different commands you type:

C:

NM.EXE

That's it brah. Start playing and enjoy. Just remember to set your directory appropriately and lookup the file name of the application itself, though I am fairly sure it's "nm.exe" for most downloads.

FYI - it's not actually a bad game to freshen up for the GREs, as standardized testing standards are lower than ever!

You remember that game, you always wanted to finish your spelling first so you get a chance to cross the US and not lose too many family members on the way there. Well, we here at CDT have some information on how you can play that game once again!

Oregon Trail is considered abandonware, which means it's free to install (not that it matters, amirite?), edit, and use in practically any way you want. But OT ran on MSDOS, which means you either have to have a machine with DOS on it (unlikely), or you need an emulator.

Download and install:

DOSBox

Oregon Trail

Install DOSBox to a folder you'll remember and extract the game to another folder you'll remember.
For Windows, all you need to do is click DOSBox and type:

MOUNT C C:*your folder*    -----example: I type"MOUNT C C:\GAMES\OT" to mount my folder

Once the local directory is mounted, in two different commands you type:

C:

OREGON.EXE


Start playing and make sure to contain your nostalgia to manageable levels.
