Many people may have casually played the old edutainment title The Oregon Trail, but a group of gamers are going to play the original for 24 hours to raise money for Child's Play.

Geeks With Issues, a nerdy based online show, has decided to undertake the arduous task of playing The Oregon Trail for 24 straight hours. Their promotion, officially deemed "The Battle Against Dysentery III: Wagon Train of Destiny", is something that began last year with all proceeds going to benefit Child's Play (the same charity the Gears of War Carmine fundraiser was for). The event only raised about $600 in previous years, but they are hoping to bring in $5000 this time.
