This article is about the series of games as a whole and as such not a place for
WP:GAMECRUFT in one specific release. Whether the version from 1991 was unpopular or not, I don't know. You're free to research about it and post your findings. –

Can someone clean up the early game version section?
It lists a lot of repeating ports and in general makes it harder to follow the early series.
The TL:DR is, there are effectively 3 main released versions, with minor tweaks between releases.
Version 1 is Text Only from the 70s and early 80s.
Version 2 is the basic graphics one that's probably the most well known on Apple II and DOS.
Version 3 is the 1991 one that got released wih bugfixes as Deluxe and then later as just The Oregon Trail(which would be Game 1 that 2 and 3rd edition were sequels too).
