Thinking of taking a road trip soon? Don’t have the time or money to get away but desperately wish you did? Well, why not go on a virtual road trip, instead?

In “Thule Trail” you’ll have to brave nasty weather, car problems, and crazy drifters as you travel over 2000 miles to the Atlantis Music Festival. Manage food, fuel, and entertainment wisely or you’ll end up stranded in the middle of nowhere — or worse, held at the mercy of your own bored, road-weary friends with nothing more than a pellet gun to defend yourself with. Enter mountain biking and snowboarding competitions to earn some extra cash, pick up some hitch-hikers, and even get a chance to see the world’s largest pickle!

The whole thing plays off as a modern-day version of “The Oregon Trail” and even uses the same retro art style of the classic computer game. It’s a free, Flash-based game. At the very least, it was a neat way to kill some time, but I thought it was a lot of fun.
