Oregon Trail, $4.99

Revisit your elementary school computer lab with this remake of Oregon Trail, dysentery and all. Like the original game, you’ll have to balance speed, resources and your party’s health against a dwindling summer and pool of funds to make it in time. The graphics have been imaginatively reworked for the iPhone, but many of the game mechanics remain intact, including the all-important squirrel-hunting sessions. Perfect for escaping the tedium of a long car trip from Missouri to Oregon. Or not.
