It was later released in 1992 for DOS with some graphical upgrades, and for Windows in 1995 as "Storybook Weaver: Classic Edition". It was followed by an enhanced version, called Storybook Weaver Deluxe, released in 1994.
MECC released a DOS version of The Oregon Trail that was essentially identical to the Apple II version. However, the graphics had to be redrawn for the DOS version, using a different color palette and a slightly different resolution – and therefore screen shots of the DOS version are slightly different than the corresponding Apple II screen shots.
