Jill of the Jungle and Oregon Trail. Always played these on my friend's family computer. This had to be late '80s, when video games were good.

You die of dysentery!

Was it even possible to win that game?

We used to always have twist ties in the house. They were in "that" drawer in the kitchen that had everything. All trash bags came with more ties than bags, so there was always leftovers, so there was always a supply of them in the drawer.

Today, we really only get the cheap ties on loafs of bread (when they don't have those stupid plastic closures), and our trash bags are all drawstring. I can still get the heavy duty ones tying up wires on lots of modern products, but those are usually a little overkill for the day-to-day need of twist ties. I have discovered that my supply of twist ties isn't enough for my demand, so today, for the first time in my life, I ordered light duty twist ties. Never would have had to do that back in the day.

I always thought that twist ties mulitplied themselves in the junk drawer!

Came across this one today, had to post it here!

I remember Oregon trail that was a good game.

That photo reminds me of the Little Rascals/Our Gang episode where the gang made a crazy contraption out of junk to race against the rich kid and his fancy pants firetruck.
