I can see why The Oregon Trail game was one of the most played games, it brought interest not into the game, but also into the history of what could have happened for so many people. As I started to play the game, I found myself no knowing what to choose, I didn’t know which would be the smarter decision or how I would defeat the game in a sense. When a tragic event occurred it made me want to go back and change a decision I may have made earlier. It really brought the user into getting invested because you are unsure of what difficulties you can go through. Pong on the other hand is a quick attention grabbing game, it is simple, with little strategy. If you do not have a large amount of time to be able to think through each process I can see pong being the winner for you. Even though I beat the computer the first time, I found myself losing the second, so it brought up my competitive nature of wanting to continue to play again. I would see myself playing pong over The Oregon Trail though. z
