This is a really amazing video. I’m trying to become a professional filmmaker, and I’d love to be able to make projects like this one. So if you’re taking on new people for your team… pick me!

As one of the designers of MECC’s “Oregon Trail II” (I worked on some of the preceding versions of “Oregon Trail” as well, but OTII was my real pride and joy), let me say that your “Oregon Trail” trailer is fantastic — and pretty darn funny, too! You went to a lot of trouble and must’ve spent a bundle on it! I was thrilled and proud to see it, and it brought back some very, very fond memories. The biggest surprise of all, however, was your “quote” near the end of Eric Speier’s original OTII soundtrack theme music. Now THAT shows real dedication!
Y’all done us folks from the dearly departed MECC mighty proud. Thanks a heap!
