Old school Mac games

When I was in elementary school, my school had a bunch of Apple II's with 5.25" floppy drives. I used to play games on them all the time. I was wondering if there was someplace online where I could find those old games, specifically "Oregon Trail" and a fish game called "Odell Lake" or maybe "Ordell Lake". It was a game where you were a fish and you had to eat other fish that were smaller.

I have an old Macintosh SE that I found at Goodwill and I was hoping to play these old games on it.

http://mac.the-underdogs.org/ or Macintosh Garden is an excellant place to find many old mac games, although I'm sorry to say I didn't find either of the games you were searching for on the list.

I've been looking all over for them and even on eBay, but still no luck. I guess I'll have to get lucky and find it at Goodwill, like the time when I found the Mac SE.

man, i wish i had heard this months ago, my parents donated their old LC III and the software ( a few games too) to some organization for the handicapped. we cranked it up just before it went back in the box, STILL ran great after being dormant in the box. i miss Oregon Trail too. I used to play it all the time at school, the trick was to finish the game before the bell rang for the next period! hahaha

Do you know anyone else who might have an old mac from the 80's for sale?

I have the original Oregon Trail for Mac, don't have the (IMO, awful) Apple II version. I could probably send it to you, since it's essentially abandonware.

I also have Amazon Trail. I don't have that other one you mentioned, and I don't Oregon Trail II anymore... I lent it to a friend, who lent it to a friend, who lent it to a friend, then it ended up lost. Funny how these things happen.
