The Trail universe encapsulates a series of educational games primarily developed by MECC, the most popular of which is The Oregon Trail. Being originally created in 1971, this makes it one of the earliest video game franchises. The game was created as a learning tool to teach about North American frontier life and its success led to over a dozen official remakes, spinoffs regarding the exploration of other regions like the Amazon, Yukon, South America, and Africa, as well as many clones, fan games, and traditional board and card games. There have been dozens of ports and upgrades to the original model, so many that it's difficult to group the games effectively, but certainly the most well-known game in the series is the 1985 Apple II release.
