Flicker to a flash, a glint to a blink. Finally a pulsating glow nestled down in a clump of tall bladed grass. How often do we take the time to allow ourselves to be fascinated by the sight of a gathering light show created by a small beetle? These bio-luminescence beetles have several names depending on the region you live from fireflies, lightning bugs, moon bugs, glow worms, to many others. Lampyridae, the scientific name of this amazing insect, uses its gift of glow primarily for mating.

Description The original, non-graphical BASIC version of The Oregon Trail was first developed in 1971 by three Minnesotan teachers and meant to be played on a Teletype. This first version was played exclusively by Don Rawitsch's history class, taught at Carleton College. A subsequent version was re-typed from paper records into MECC computer systems in 1974, and made available to school systems across the entire state. It would be revised in 1976 and again in 1978 based on new research.
