I just noticed that there is a typo in the posted link. The correct one is

Sorry about that.

I've just updated the archive, adding high-res (40Mpix!) map scans in both JPEG and Adobe PDF formats (the latter's for those who decide to print one), and a walkthrough as well. The package should now be complete, download is above.

Well, this is absolutely awesome! :OK:

Would you mind registering so I can give you proper credit? :)

Also, can you spot any differences in archive we currently host and the archive you provided?

Gold Rush! uncracked
 

Hi, :hello:

Thank you for your reply! To answer your question, yes, there's a major difference between the game data provided through the above link and the one from Abandonia. As the title of my post says, it's the rare uncracked version which isn't available anywhere on the Internet (AFAIK). This is the only version I found to be correctly detected by ScummVM. I got it from my personal collection, a CD containing all the oldies I've collected in the pre-Internet era. It's probably a copy from a friend's computer made in the late 90s (1998 or later). Alternatively, it could also originate from disk images downloaded at Vintage Sierra :dunno:. Anyway, if you have some further questions or requests, don't hesitate to ask me.

P.S.: The site doesn't accept email addresses from Openmailbox.org. Can you please fix this so I can recieve email notifications?

Thanks and regards,

Peter

This game isn't that great. The last part when you are in the cavern with the lantern is just a tedious maze.

In my second play through I decided to go the Cape Horn route but the stupid ship kept sinking. Apparently the only solution to this is to restart in Brooklyn and try again! I don't think so.

Not one of Sierra's best.

Game is no longer abandoned
 

Hello, I found that while the game is not on GOG it's on Steam(the first old Sierra game I've seen on Steam).

Here's the address:
http://store.steampowered.com/app/308000

It cost me about $7 NZ so I guess that's about $5 US

Gold Rush Classic, GR Anniversary and GR 2
 

Yes, we had to get all of the archaic graphics equipment working and we fixed many graphic issues, but only a few of them were visible. The most visible example is in the mine where you get off of the main vertical ladder and move to the left. It was much easier after the fix. There were many, many fixes.

The game is now available on steam ( http://store.steampowered.com/app/308000/ )

Or at http://www.goldrush-game.com/

There is a remake of the game (Gold Rush Anniversary), and a sequel is to be released soon (Gold Rush 2).

You are definitely didn't tried too hard. :) Space Quest collection and King's Quest collection are on Steam ten years already. :)

Thank you for the info, Doug!
