GOLD RUSH! ANNIVERSARY
is a complete new remake of the legendary California Gold Rush!
In 1988, Rush appeared
with Gold! in one of the most comprehensive adventure games of the 1980s. Now, the fondly
remembered game, Gold Rush! has been developed anew, to today’s highest standards. No aspect
of modern gaming has been overlooked. You can experience the famous California Gold Rush with
high-resolution graphics, speech synthesis, a superb sound track and modern user interface
features. Optimized game-flow will enhance your traveling and interactions with other characters
of the period.
Gold Rush! Anniversary 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.
 OVERLANDFirst, travel to Independence,
Missouri. Once Jerrod has set up camp, there will be much to do and many
critical decisions to make before heading west, into Indian Territory and rugged
terrain. If you are going to survive the extreme conditions of the overland trek
to California, you will need to muster all the frontier savvy you have!
 PANAMA: Travel by ship through the Gulf
Stream to the Isthmus of Panama. Proceed on foot to the Pacific side through the
dense jungles of Central America (sorry, no Panama Canal existed in the 1840’s).
If you make it past the natives, quicksand, gators, snakes, and who knows what
else to Panama City, a ship will come to take you to California.
 CAPE HORN: Become a seafarer and take a
long, perilous voyage from the East Coast of North America around the tip of
South America’s Cape Horn, up the West Coast and through the Golden Gate. True
mariners must combat scurvy, starvation and the dangers of the deep in order to
survive.
 CALIFORNIA: Getting to California really
is only half the fun because the game is far from over once you arrive. You will
still need to solve many intriguing puzzles in Sacramento, Sutter’s Fort,
Coloma, and more.
