  • Does anyone know how to get this game workin on Windows 7? I still have it and the setup, for the life of me, is not workin. Help.

  • I was stupid enough to buy those god forsaken gophers. What a waste of money.

  • I had this game. Missed it...

  • i remember playing this as a kid

  • I miss MECC and these games. Such a great learning experience!

  • PROTIP.

    as a guy who wasted most of his childhood playing this game, I can suggest, the best way to play, is to go literally as slowly as possible, delaying everywhere you can, hopefully until the next year. It resets the claims, so there is literally no claim which is staked. Then all you do is search around for the best claim, and stake it. Time consuming but worth it :3

  • where the hell can i find this game without downloading a bunch of bullshit?

  • 0:08 Ha Ha Ha, I played this game so much as a kid, that was until DOS went the way of the dodo. It's funny reflecting back with my adult mind at how much the ticket lady looks like Peggy Hill.

  • Hah, when it's your leg you take a week off, when it's her leg you do nothin'. :P

  • OMG THIS BRINGS BACK MEMORIES!!!!!

    

  • Finding a good claim was everything. You somehow get to Dawson then, so gold. That's the moral of the game.

  • How do you get the gold bars?

  • WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU TOSSED OUR BIKES OFF THE SHIP?!?!???!?!!??!?!

  • @snukka They were cursed. That's why the weather was bad.

  • I discovered a cheat that can actually get you over 310,000 in the end. Choose the carpenter as your partner. Soon as you get to Lake Bennett, go to the boat plans sign. Choose choice #1. Your partner will tell you to change your boat choice. Then click "let me check those plans again", then click "cancel" on the plans sign. Click on the mounted guard, and you'll depart immediately. As long as you reach Dawson after Jan 1 1898, you'll get to keep on digging until Nov of that same year.

  • @jeffdadude87

    You should upload a video of this..I'm sure a lot of people would like to see it.

  • @doddsino So did you get to try it out?

  • It's already warm in Dawson. But I'm suprised the "winter is coming" doesn't happen until Nov. 1st, as by then in real Dawson winter is already taking a firm foothold by then (Dawson has a similar climate to Fairbanks, Alaska). And the "spring is here!" happens around the time most say "summer is here!" They are calling for 83 degrees for this Fri/Sat and for the end of May that is warm even for a place like Chicago! It's continental so their peak comes sooner (around Canada Day is the warmest).

  • I'm really amused that this is a speedrun of a game where the objective is to speed to the Yukon.

  • 3 people chose Sadie as their partner.

  • @bukstrthehukstr You're confused. 3 people choose the fat, rich, stupid guy who always gives you bad advice.

  • @thevisualboy37

    Don't talk trash about Midas T. Golden!!

  • @doddsino He tells you to go to Skagway (which is just a Skid Row), buy the gold-sniffing gophers (which you can't sell AND they run away), the bike (which they toss off the boat), and the collapsible boat for later (which doesn't meet the standards). BAD ADVICE.

  • @thevisualboy37

    Who cares? He LOVES eggs!

  • Good times playing this game back in Elementary school, I only got to Canada though

  • picked a bad boat at the beginning bro, rough shit man

  • why in hell must it keep thunder storming

  • WTF there are no really bad storms on the inside passage IRL

    well most of the time

  • These seems fun but it seems like something where I'd screw up the first journey to anywhere...

  • Ugghh. One time I got a blizzard that lasted 6 months! It was like a super glitch.

  • I made a fanpage for midas t. golden on facebook. Join it to honor the legend!

  • WHERE CAN I DOWNLOAD THISS!?

  • Never thought I would drift from Oregon Trail and stumble upon your channel Cybercat, when the highscores had your name I was like o_O

    Anyway, nice speedrun as usual.

  • 5:54 That was a cool trick. I can't believe I never figured that out myself considering how many times I've played this. =P

  • now u can shoot your partner and take all the gold for yourself

  • You were walking for 12 days straight without sleeping. lol

  • I loved this game :) Especially since I was always a sucker for buying those gold sniffing gophers.

  • I still hear "The Yukon trail.... From MECC!" in my dreams

  • WHERE CAN I FIND THIS GAME.. it brings back so many memories

  • How did you get gold bars?

  • I love this friking game, i can never find it

  • The boat part is basically just a repeat of the rafting down the Columbia river from Oregon Trail 2.

  • Whenever my friend and I played this, we'd always bring the fat guy with the hat. He'd always fall while walking, break his leg (or something), and ask if we could stop. We always said no.

  • @kendrakeng Poor guy.

  • The boat with one flat end and one pointy end is the fastest.

  • Skagway sounds like it's infested with carniverous alien dogs. But I bet you could get some nice guns by killing them.

  • for uechangchung, it doesent change each game, and two i was about tom make a vid of what to do and what gold claim to pick, when i decided i should look to see who may have done it first. so i look at this and this is the exact same thing i do! i never listen to people, just click to skip 'em. i always pick the indian chick, i always click on my diary, i do everything the exact same as you did

  • In a blizzard--

  • it storms to much there lol

  • Anyone have any clue on how to get this running on vista? SHADOW has caused an error in blahblahblah TMP1224.

  • This game was really good for its time. I played it all the time, and it was very educational and fun for me when I was young. But the graphics and gameplay in general were impressive for a 1994 ROM game.

  • Its been forever since I played this game lol

  • worst ever

  • Check out my rendition of Yukon Trail on piano!

  • the walking music is gonna be stuck in my head all day.

  • Did this before, made so much cash!!

  • I remember my yukon trail cd came packed with another game, something about picking a fish and have it survive by making it eat whatever's down its food chain and avoiding its predators... anyone know what it was called?

  • @sophocrat Spore? although, that's newer than yukon trail... it could be a different game with the same idea... or I could be completely wrong about it being new.

  • @sophocrat Odell Down Under

  • I always got the caviar/eggs.

    I never got the gold bars, only the bags at Cheechako Hill.

    I miss this game.

  • Does Anyone know where I can find this game?!

  • I have this cd sitting in my lap.. so many hours of wasted life Lol

  • This was my first game addiction.

  • thizzzz gheme iz gheye

  • This is great!

  • I recommend watching the 1957 documentary City Of Gold. Also, there are still around 250 active claims being worked in the region. Of course you can drive there or fly nowadays, but good luck finding that gold and getting a lease on a claim!

  • i looooved this game!

  • I once got stuck behind a mule train for a full year.

  • Comment removed

  • Since when do they get that many thunderstorms in the Pacific Northwest?!!!

  • Download DOSBOX you should be able to play it from there...CHEERS!

  • sadly no, i hate vista for this. i got DOSBOX so i could commander keen goodbye galaxy! no luck. i miss those good old days

  • ... what? They had a DOS version of this???

  • F-in' loved this game back in the day! I just found the old CD tonight, I guess it would be a pain to try to run it on Windows 7...

  • ahhh the good old days..i always picked jake too.

  • check out my piano rendition of music from Yukon Trail!

  • So true, I played with the fat rich guy once, he kept stopping every 2 days because of his ankle or something.

    Good times.

  • @D0mithan Not to mention he eats all your damn food.

  • "THAT GUY SLEPT FOR 8 DAYS"

  • I've never cried over video game nostalgia, that would be sad, but it's with this that I come close. It pwns the Oregon Trail anyday

  • Oh the memories. I always picked Jake the carpenter as my partner too. XD

  • does it work on XP?

  • damned right

  • you probably need dosbox to run it with XP...

  • T_T I miss this game sooo much

  • I wissh I had the music from it as a ringtone.

  • i prefered oregon trail. its less waiting than this game. but its not bad. its just funny that you can finish it in 10 min!

  • OMG I had this game a couple years ago and I sold it! I shouldn't have and now I really miss playing this game. I always used Jake (carpenter) as my partner. =)

  • Lol. Omg the memories...

  • I still have this game, the hiking music was always so catchy.

  • I can't ever finish a game of this because whenever I try to stake a claim, the fucking native bitch freezes the game and an "Stake this claim" option never pops up

  • I remember I got this in the UK from my uncle who got me a package which had this and Odell Down Under. I loved both and so did my cousin who watched me play. Then I got to year 9 in secondary school where we did American history, only to find out we were studying the Californian gold rush and I was like WAAAAH XD I wanted to do this one owo

  • does anyone know of a disabled kid that i could steal this from? alternatively where can i download it? thank guys

  • anyone know where i can get this for my imac?

  • @aayla666 did u ever find this game?

  • @bijili2008 no.. :(

  • Classic.

  • wow, I had this game a LONG time ago, Loved it.......course I never knew what I was doing lol I was only like 3 or 4 :P

  • ahhhhhhhh I remember when this game was sooo extremely popular when I was around 2nd grade :D everybody would play this when we had our "computer lab time" LOL.

  • This here is the yukon trail!

  • Another excitin' product from MECC!

  • God the girl you took with you must have been miserable: cutting her off all the time, disregarding her injuries, lol.

  • @sprtrmp88keys LOL your comment kept reoccurring in my mind as the video progressed xD

  • this game is straight hood

  • First mistake...hiring Linda over Midas T. Golden XP

  • get Sadie (girl on the far left), get the best ship to Dyea, buy biggest outfit and the 2 extras in Seattle, head up the trail as soon as possible, always heavy load, don't stop for anything unless you have to, maybe buy some food if you are nearing 2000 lbs before reaching Canada, get the middle boat, don't hit anything while boating (stay to the right), it's cheap but always check the diary because then you travel down the river all in the same day, No.1 below Bonanza creek. . . I got 189228

  • Comment removed

  • I had this game. Loved it to bits despite the fact that the picture quality was always extremely glitchy.

  • I love how they say "boat" all Canadian.

  • Wish I could find this classic online :(

  • So you stopped when your leg was injured, but not hers? Nice.

    ;)

  • You should've hired a man to carry your stuff at Sheep Camp. You get up the top f the mountain into Canada in half the time. I had no idea Bonanza Creek had that much money...I was an idiot and went to the arcade to get locations from that lady. She says No.1 Above (or below) El Dorado Creek. Cheechako Hill gets you at least $46,000 and that's the one I've been picking this whole time! Wow...

  • THAT GUY SLEPT FOR 8 DAYS

  • Anyone know what music is used in the game?

  • @acinemajunkie

    The music beginning at 05:23 is from the first (of five) movement(s) of Stephen Foster's "Louisiana Suite" (Op. 97), "The Mississippi Steam-Boat's in Sight!"

  • thanks roc!

    do you know where I can find a recording of that, though?

  • lmao i use to play this game where i was 4 XD

  • I always liked getting the box of kittens! lol

  • OMG I always thought that I was the only one who played the old Oregon trail and Yukon trail games when I was like 5 XD im glad theres other people who know what these games are : P

  • You got robbed a lot, haha.

    The last time I played this game, I was in 4th grade and I played it at school. That was 10 years ago and I still remembered this game. I think I used to pick the fat guy or the woman you chose in this vid.

  • i used to have this game but i lost it. =(

  • this game used to be my favorite. I had it on my old computer. I should buy it on ebay.

  • this game is better than oregon trail, feels so good to see

  • Right before I searched up for a video like this I played a game of this. Wow and i thought you could never get one below banonza creek

  • Just have to get to Alaska FAST (choosing the carpenter guy works well)

  • Depends on how fast you get there, i guess.

  • best music ever.

  • I played this game years ago

  • i love this game! i used to play it all the time and it's weird now because i'm doing a research paper on the gold rush and like EVERYTHING in this game is totally true; down to the gophers lol

  • is that always the best claim?

  • I'm not sure since it changes with each game, but it is definitely ONE of the best.

  • my friend and i played this and always picked the fat guy for fun cuz he was richest lol. then we hike at a hard pace and he gets hurt but we kept saying 'no keep going' then the game forced us to 'rest' and you know how the calendar days come off the pages well it went by for like ten years lol we pushed him too far. we couldnt do anything but leave the game on forever haha.

    if anyone knows where i can get a copy let me know i reallllly wanna play this again

  • DEEEEEEEEELIGHTFUL!

  • Someone else remembers!

  • Should I be embarrassed about remembering the song that plays at 00:02 ? The last time I played the game was nearly 10 years ago... haha

  • I remember it NOTE FOR NOTE!

  • this is quite possibly the best game ever made.

  • forge halo, forget wow, forget call of duty, yukon trails where its at

  • Wow, that's great. Makes me want to play the game again, unfortunately that for my copy, the disc broke, so I have to get a new copy.

  • I loved this game

  • i like the funny way they say words!!!

  • I've actaully been to Skagway, and it is a small town. Suprisingly, they sell a lot of gold products there...

  • Best game i ever played when i lived in the yukon was the first game i played

  • darn theives -_-

  • *man groans*

    Woman: "I fell--"

    Man keeps walking.

    lmao

  • I used to play this when I was in grade 3 lol this game was soooo ghetto lmao!

  • Gewd GAWD.That's HURRICANE force.A whole month on the ame storm,minus kuje 2 days...

  • i like Oregon trail better

  • where can you play this online

  • this is sooo eventless compared to oregon trail. bah

  • It really isn't. It is way more interactive...

  • Yeah thanks, it was already set to the fastest.

  • I laughed my head off at this game's voice acting. At least in the Oregon Trail 1 & 2 they were trying to sound realistic, but Yukon Trail's voice acting sounded like something out of a Hanna Barbara cartoon. Way out of character. XD

  • Good ol Midas T Golden "My leg is broken,can we rest?"

    No keeping walking...

    Hilarious

  • Is Bonanza Creek always loaded??

  • Yeah should be. There's about four, or so, claims that are pretty good (which is why they're often taken).

  • How do you get gold bars? Can you get someone to haul your stuff for $2,000 in Dyea or Skagway?

  • You know I've wondered about that too. I've actually never gotten the gold bars before, I've only seen them in promotional shots, so they may not even be available in the game (maybe just if you hit a certain claim?). In theory you could get somebody to haul your stuff by gambling long enough to make the money. You could probably also edit your save-game file, but I suspect the code isn't actually there for it to be possible to hire them, it'd be interesting to try though (probably take forever)

  • Maybe the gold bars were beta pictures?

  • @thecybercat we're up to $2800 from gambling in skagway. Finalllly, we will see what happens when you hire that lady to haul your supplies

  • The fat guy was always easy to have when he had all that cash. Although he was slow and kept stopping. Haha god times... Did yours come with that undersea odell game?

  • Mine came with Mayaquest, Oregon Trail, African Trail and Amazon Trail.

  • So did mine.

  • I had a package like that, but it also came with Exploring Yellowstone, not the Oregon Trail.

  • If you win in the arcade, you'll be told the best place to dig!

  • Wow it amazes me that a journey that took almost a year would last only 10 minutes on a simple computer.

    Thanks for posting this by the way. I only played Oregon Trail and a little bit of Amazon Trail, but I wanted to know what Yukon Trail is like cause I never played Yukon Trail. Now I guess I don't have to play it =D

  • Midas T. Golden is frickin' hilarious!

    Just listen to what he says half the time. It cracks me up!

    "Deeeelightful!"

  • Here I will entrust you with my cash, won't you be so kind as to purchase our tickets now.

    Eggs I love em, lets buy it!

  • @GaryBennet

    lol, Josiah? You're back on YouTube, bro?

  • How did you get this game?

  • I got this game as one of four other games in the "Trail Adventure Collection" from The Learning Company. (the four other games were: Mayaquest, Oregon Trail, African Trail and Amazon Trail) First try looking at some of the abandonware sites listed on my user page, if you can't find it there, I'm sure you can still buy a copy on places like eBay. (it looks like there's about ten or so copies on eBay at the time of this posting)
