Terrapin Trail 2

Whoa! Thanks for stopping by and trying out Terrapin Trail! Hearing that other people are enjoying this game means a lot to me, it has been on the back of my mind for over a decade now.

The story goes like this: after making DeadBased (a Grateful Dead archives explorer & map visualizer) when I was interning @ Archive.org as a student, I was like "someday when I have more time I should turn this into an Oregon Trail type game" and now I'm turning 41 soon and have more time 😆

Future Stuff

  1.  I'm planning to add more levels/years. Will try to preserve the current 1977 high scores in version 2
  2. Yes, I'll fix a few cringeworthy bugs you're seeing in version 1.
  3. The game has only been online for about a week now and has over 1000 visits!!!

If you like the game please share it with your friends, that's all I ask! 🐢🐢 If you don't like the game, tell me why in the comments!
