Amazon Trail

Fun children's computer game in which the player attempts to navigate from the base of the Amazon River to a lost Incan city in Peru. Occasionally, Amazon Trail was put onto elementary school computers. However, Oregon Trail (another good game) was more prominent in schools, and therefore remains more famous today.

Amazon Trail required far more attention than Oregon Trail, as the user always had to navigate the canoe to avoid capsizing. In Oregon Trail, the wagon traveled to the next landmark with no difficulties, except for the occasional broken axle.
