Is that supposed to be good or bad? I liked Oregon Trail a bit as a child but I like this game far more. It doesn't really seem like a good analogy to me either - both involve a journey, random encounters, and probable death of characters, but other than that the mechanics are completely different.
I am now describing FTL as Oregon Trail meets Rogue meets Escape Velocity.
This is the monthly thread for posting media of various types that you've found that you enjoy. I find that exposure to LW ideas makes me less likely to enjoy some entertainment media that is otherwise quite popular, and finding media recommended by LWers is a good way to mitigate this. Post what you're reading, listening to, watching, and your opinion of it. Post recommendations to blogs. Post whatever media you feel like discussing! To see previous recommendations, check out the older threads.
