Oregon Trail, Carmen Sandiego Games Coming To Facebook (VIDEO)

Two blasts from the past--"The Oregon Trail" and "Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?"--are coming to Facebook.

According to a blog post by Blue Fang Games analyst Darius Kazemi, the two games will be available in early February: Oregon trail is launching February 2nd, and Carmen Sandiego on February 9th.

Blue Fang Games will be developing the titles, and The Learning Company is publishing them.

See previews of the two games below. What other classic games would you like to see come to Facebook? Are you pleased with the update Oregon Trail and Carmen Sandiego have received?

Did anyone ever finish Oregon trail? Was it even possible to survive the entire way (as a kid)?

Some of us managed to do so, but it sure wasn't easy. I loved the hunting - and of course there was naming people in the party after other people in the class and then getting them dysentery...

We’ve been looking for a fun way to brush up on geography and pioneering know-how.
We thought our readers might too.

The graphics remind me of the characters on CLUE, but looking forward to seeing how the games of my childhood progress in the social media age!

Good memories, I remember playing these in grade school.

People are honestly going to allow Facebook to become a computing platform in and of itself.
There is an entire generation of people out there that honestly thinks that they can only play these games on Facebook.

And it takes about 2 seconds to find something better...
