This game can be super annoying if you don\u2019t know what to expect. Part of it is the primitive mechanics. It\u2019s not like today\u2019s point and click game where you click on a location and the character will move there. You have to use your arrow keys to direct every step of the movement. You also have to instruct the character what to do. Encountering another character will not automatically trigger conversation. You have to tell your character to \u2018talk\u2019 by typing this in. If you don\u2019t type in the correct series of words, this will also halt your progress. And last but not least, there is potential to fall into a big hole in this game. Let\u2019s say you did not pick up a certain something on level one, well if you don\u2019t have it at level 10, you can forget finishing this game \u2026 \uf04c Still, there is a lot of charm to this game with its graphics and story plot. I recommend it on sale. I would also like to play the updated anniversary edition.. TLDR: A true classic adventure game with replay value! If you haven't tried it, you are missing out. I played Gold Rush! years ago when it was on old floppy disks so I was thrilled to find it available for download on Steam. The puzzles are fun and the classic artwork is beautifully detailed and designed for its era. There are some confusing moments when its hard to figure out what to do next, specifically in the very start, but normally the game tells you the situation and as long as you pay attention to the conversations and text you should be able to tell what needs to be done. The music is a truly classic sound. The beeps playing 'Oh! Susanna' in the start hit me right in the nostalgia bone from days of EGA adventure games like Space Quest and Police Quest. One thing this game had over its contemporaries was replayability. Unlike most adventure games which give you a very linear method of completion, this game gives you three different methods to travel to California. You can choose the overland method which gives you a feeling like being on the Oregon Trail, the Panama method which is a jungle adventure, and the Cape Horn method which gives you an adventure on the sea. Each one has different challanges to overcome and each one is well designed and fun. The biggest issue with this game is that it has the one thing that made Sierra games frustrating, NO BACKTRACKING! Basically there are items in the game which are acquired early on which are required near the end. If you forget to grab them or didn't even know you needed that item then you are going to have to restore back to a save point when you could get the item and play through everything all over again. A more minor issue is that you need to type in all your commands. This could be spun as a motivator to learn how to properly spell and type but for some people I could see how they would find it more cumbersome. In finale, a truly nostalgic look at the beginnings of gaming which still holds its own today. This is a definite recommend to all adventure gamers.. A decently fun game, provided you don't have huge expectations. It's one of the lesser-known Sierra games, and doesn't have a HUGE amount of puzzles or variability to it (despite the "three routes" claim). It might take you just a couple of hours to grind through it all. But I'd say it's worthwhile, if nothing else, for the underrepresented historical genre.... my childhood in a nutshell. A trip down memory lane. I can finally play Gold Rush (one of my favorites as a kid) legally! Woo hoo!!. I literally have no idea what to do. Please help.But for 59cents i guess it's okay.. Good old school adventure game, but not for young public.... It's the great classic just as I remember, they did go back and remove a couple timer bugs and point bugs, I did the Panama route which had a few bugs at least and I was able to get 255 out of 255, on the original game, I always had an issue with that. I really wish the remake they were working on was a hand drawn remake instead of a 3d one, hopefully one day I'll be able to release my personal remake.. Classic Sierra Adventure Games;So, that intro from the beginning makes me *sigh* from the inside. These games (for me) are memories of growing up and sitting on my father's knee and learning about computers...(the next step involved constructing my own PC from scratch, but that's a different story for a different time) Sierra INVENTED the adventure genre as far as I'm concerned, and "Gold Rush" is not only an excellent example of a classic adventure game, it is also the benchmark for self-involved concepts as well as being true to life history.What I personally love about this game is remembering my youth (I was 8 when it came out) but what makes it spectacular for its development at the time is that not only is it an emotionally involved storyline (regarding the family story) it also sticks to factual history. In addition it reminds me of the current housing crisis, in that if you don't sell your house before a certain set time in the game (always save, save, SAVE with these classics!) you lose a large amount of monies and can not proceed in the game as desired!!!*LOL* These games always frustrated me when I was younger due to the fact that you almost EVERY TIME (with Sierra...<3 Sierra <3) had to RESTART a game from scratch if you missed ONE...MINISCULE...ITEM!!But seriously, that's more realistic than ANY game I've seen or played up until now. When else (In Real Life IRL) have you been able to rewind and make sure you did something in a specific way to ensure that things turned out the way you wanted? In addition, when we played these games, if we were stuck, we couldn't just hop onto Google and figure out the answer, we had to call a hotline and pay REAL CASH to get a hint book that didn't always guarantee a correct answer, but still left us guessing...damn, love you Google, but seriously, you made life too easy!*Steps off of soap box*If you have a LITERAL dollar to spend, give Sierra adventuring a try. King's Quest (which I KNOW you've heard of) Space Quest (in my opinion better than King's Quest) Quest For Glory (Best. Game. Series. EVER. end of story) Leisure Suit Larry (good for all of persons out there as dirty in the mind as I am) and so many, many more!Gold Rush remains a classic to me, please enjoy it with me.
