About This Game

Gold Rush! takes you back to the year 1849, when gold was discovered in California. It was certainly one of the most exciting times in American history. Gold Rush! includes the three routes tens of thousands took to the gold regions. Become Jerrod Wilson and experience each trek as you travel from New York to California.

Whichever route you decide to take, you will see many historical sights. Try going overland across the Great Plains and huge mountain ranges, crossing the Isthmus of Panama, or rounding Cape Horn on the tip of South America. If you survive and arrive at Sutter’s Fort, the adventure is still only half over! Many other puzzles remain to be solved before you achieve your goals in California.

Experience the classic style of the original game, which delighted millions of gamers in the eighties. Gold Rush! is automatically installed and configured to run on all modern Windows systems, via DOSBox.

Features:

Unique art design causes you to travel back to the middle of the 19th Century
Three different western routes (3 adventures in one game)
Parser interface

Bonus Items:

Historical map of the three routes
Original User’s Guide
Unpublished original concept drawings of the developer from the 80s
Compatible operating systems: starting with Windows XP with the help of DOSBox

The game is unplayable past the hotel. Something happened where you can't type a number when the hotel keeper asks what room you're in.

Doubtless, strongly suggested for players not scared by parser and ready to spend time reading (pdf manual, I mean, because some information were brought by paper, in order to introduce the story inside the videogame). This is a brick of the past, maybe not so famous like others, but it is a gem, a little bit simpler than Police Quest 1. I was fascinated by the simple, yet genuine story (moreover, based on true American historical facts) and also by the multiple paths you can choose to travel in California. So, are ya still there? Go, grab your pick and join the Gold Rush!
