Pieces of You $2.04 Jewel’s debut album, Pieces of You, reveals a special voice–strong and focused on both the whispery verses and the hooky choruses. The recording also exposes an unfortunate tendency to present trite, hackneyed sentiments as if they were oracular visions from a young prophet to a jaded world. For the most part, Jewel sings to her own acoustic guitar accompaniment, but she has a lot more in common … |

In The Zone $4.68 However coy she might be in her public statements, Britney Spears leans more than a bit toward the provocative on In the Zone. Less concerned with aiming at the mainstream radio dial than in the first days of her career, she and her collaborators make this as street and club ready a record as possible. The opening duet with Madonna, “Me Against the Music,” is worthy, but the bigger superstar’s pre… |

Reservoir Dogs: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack $7.03 While not as much of a commercial success as Quentin Tarantino’s later film Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs is today regarded as a classic, although happily one that doesn’t take itself too seriously. With its out-of-sequence narrative involving a diamond heist, its desperate characters expressing opinions on music and cinema, and the constant radio play (all the film’s music is from source cues), Do… |

The Interpreter (Widescreen Edition) $0.99 Director Sydney Pollack delivers megawatt star power, high gloss, and political passion to The Interpreter, his first thriller since The Firm. With Nicole Kidman and Sean Penn delivering smooth, understated performances, the film more closely recalls Pollack’s 1975 Robert Redford/Faye Dunaway paranoid thriller Three Days of the Condor, trading conspiratorial politicians for potential assassination… |

Starsky & Hutch (Full Screen Edition) $0.40 Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson–dark, wiry, and tense meets blond, lanky, and loose–make a solid comic team (and previously appeared together in Zoolander), but the funniest man in Starsky and Hutch is Vince Vaughn. Vaughn dives into his role as a sleazy drug dealer (who nonetheless buys a pony for his daughter’s bat mitzvah) with the offhand zest that he brings to almost every role (from Swingers t… |

From Mexico With Love $4.50 Filtering a “Rocky”-style story through issues of illegal immigration, this impassioned and exciting drama follows the story of Hector (Kuno Becker), a migrant worker who, in defense of his mother, gets into a violent clash with his employer’s underlings that gets him transported back to Mexico. Nursing a desire for retribution, he begins training for a high-profile boxing match with his boss’ son… |

Gun, Red Dead Revolver, and the Wild Arms games. These are the only half-decent Wild West themed games that have come out in the past decade. I give Wild Arms credit for having such a long running RPG series, I even enjoy my copy of Wild Arms 3, but when I think of the Wild West, I don’t picture cell-shaded anime characters shooting goblins in the face with snipers and shotguns. I like the Wild Arms series, don’t get me wrong, it just isn’t the type genre of the Wild West that I’d like to see more of.
The 1800’s in America were a time of exploration and adventure, where everyday people weathered the elements, the treacherous landscape, and the wild animals to catch a glimpse of the Pacific Ocean or make their fortune in gold. Nowadays, sand box games are all the rage and so an open ended Wild West game seems doable; just picture Nikko from GTA4 on a horse instead of a car and using a six shooter instead of a rocket launcher.
It surprises me a little that we aren’t flooded with every Western-style game imaginable like we were with Western movies. Ask anyone if they’ve ever heard of John Wayne or Clint Eastwood and after they ask what you’re doing in their house, they’ll probably say yes. The simple answer is that we don’t see more wild west games is because Japan has the most say in what types of games are to be developed and since their history is much different than ours, we see more samurais and ninjas than we do cowboys.
Don’t get me wrong, I like exploring fictional video game lands like Filgaia and whatever the name of the world is from the Final Fantasy games, but it would be a breath of fresh air and much more interesting to have landscapes in games modeled to look like realistic locations. Nothing would be more exciting than to explore the pre-settled territories of the American West and ride off into the sunset like we see so many heroes do in movies; or recognize a landmark in a game that you’ve actually seen in real life.
Thanks to advancements in open sourced technology, gamers are given the driver’s seat when it comes to what they want in video game. Maybe in the future we’ll see more games that seek to satisfy the restless American spirit that we all seem to have because, I don’t know about you, but Oregon Trail just doesn’t seem to cut it.

Is there a way to play the original, or close to the original, Oregon Trail online on OS X Tiger?
I’ve got a Macbook pro, running OS X 10.4, I think.
Obviously, I can’t find a disc for the game, but I’ve been really wanting to play it. I found some terrible like flash renditions of it, but they’re awful.
Help. 
This site works for me under OS X 10.5.7 (Leopard), using Safari. (I don’t have a way to test with OS 10.4.) Doesn’t appear to work using Firefox.
It’s REALLY original, though. Like, how it was on an Apple II. (I.e., very primitive.)
