Does anyone know there was a 'collector's edition' of this game in a old fashioned wooden box? I have it! :)

I love all the ways you could die in a sierra game! Especially at the game start up! Fourth panel I thought he was intoxicated I didn't see the lightpost...

[SUGKUG]

Great game, except for those typical sierra deaths. You die every 5 seconds in these game :(

[Blackfury1]

Even worse: It's possible to die hours later after missing to pick up / buy a critical item like fruits when you take one (or both?) of the ship route.

They probably did drugs whey they made this game. Anyway, I decided to start the game again, just to use a walkthrough and finish it. But i've got a slight problem, the timer is stuck. I've played for about 30 minutes, but the timer shows that i've played only 5 seconds LOL. Takes a while to sell my house with that pace. You know what's wrong? This game was probably not made for a pentium 4 :D

Maybe I need to change graphic card? You think the newest Nvidia GeForce should be good enough?

I LOVED this game when I was a kid! I got it as a gift when I was 7 years old back in 1992 and it realy got me hooked on the adventure game genre (back in the good old days when they made adventure games). I especially loved Gold Rush for its historical realism. Nice to see it again on youtube.

i remember i used to always manage to get to california via panama canal but once i got there, i had no idea what to do. there were always these like hotels or something and i kept knocking on doors and no one would wanna talk to me. and i would be in the wilderness and type "dig for gold" and apparently that never worked LOL

The game came with a large book about the the gold rush.

[machinesbreathe]

it also functioned as copy protection, requiring you to look up a word from a line on a certain page before starting the game.

[ThatGuyinPLVY]

YES IT DID!!! even had a few passwords IN that book!!!

[TheBeatlesOwn]
