Can't murder your companions to save food 😔
As someone with an appreciation for game history, hell, computer history in general, it's kinda shocking I never got around to this before now. While obviously incredibly simple by today's standards, it's still something I'd say is worth at least one playthrough, just for the historical context.

Another go at this classic antecedent to ‘serious’ gaming. Feels legitimately high stakes to decide whether to trade for food, or hold to your precious, gamebreaking bullets. Or how many days to rest, after a member of the party becomes sick before continuing on a grueling pace to the finish. The vistas often carry a painterly beauty, filled with strange visions of a propagandistic, idealized West with natives and settlers coexisting peacefully.
