Ep. 5 Ben Hanson travels the roguelike Oregon Trail

Published: Nov. 11, 2020, 8 a.m.

Though it\u2019s the reason he was hired as a video producer at Game Informer, Ben Hanson back-burnered his documentary, Trailheads: The Oregon Trail's Origins Documentary, for 11 years on a game that took 5 days to create (don\u2019t we all have some project like that?). And yet, the wait has been worth it: You\u2019re gonna party like it\u2019s 1999 when you find out what role the late Prince may have played in The Oregon Trail!
