"Organ Trial"

A spoof of an old computer game called "Oregon Trail," except instead of pioneers settling the old west, this involves survivors of a zombie apocalypse.
Spoofing Oregon Trail, the seminal educational game for the Apple II, this updated version features campy graphics and game mechanics borrowed from the original. Instead of buying supplies, managing health, fording rivers and hunting deer along the trail, you’ll be scavenging for car parts, deciding whether to kill an infected party member, sneaking through hordes of zombies and picking off the living dead that inhabit the grasslands on your travels. It looks incredibly fun! While an older version of the game can be played for free online, the developers at The Men Who Wear Many Hats are turning to Kickstarter to make an updated version for the iPhone and other devices and platforms.
