i realized that a game like the oregon trail is pretty ethnocentristic. kids of mexican origin are not necessarily interested in the adventures of white settlers going west.

i guess nobody want to write a similar game about mexican settler coming up to california. beside that nobody would publish it. the people who could be interested in playing are poor and don't have computers.

i don't know if that is important for our kids' motivation.
