Oregon Trail making a comback?

Oregon Trail, the computer game released on multiple platforms beginning way back in 1971, is making something of a comeback online. I have to admit I have gotten caught up in the fuss by playing through the game as emulated in Flash. It was rough going about three-quarters of the way through, but my carpenter and his family managed to make the voyage with only one casuality. The next day after rediscovering this game, I found that a lolcat had been produced with an Oregon Trail theme to great effect. The final nail in the coffin that fully assured me that the primitive game has, in fact, risen from the grave, is the recently surfaced screenshot of the upcoming iPhone version! What does it say about me that I am eager to buy and replay a computer game 12 years my senior?
