About Gold Rush! Classic
Gold Rush! Classic is an adventure game set in 1849, after the discovery of gold in California. You play as Jerrod Wilson, travelling from New York to California by one of three routes taken by tens of thousands of people seeking the gold regions.
Three routes west
Choose an overland journey across the Great Plains and mountain ranges, cross the Isthmus of Panama, or sail around Cape Horn at the tip of South America. Each route is a separate adventure, with historical sights along the way. Reaching Sutter’s Fort is only halfway to your goal: you must solve more puzzles in California.
Game features
The game uses a parser interface and an art style designed to evoke the middle of the 19th century. It also includes a historical map of the three routes, the original user’s guide and unpublished concept drawings by the developer from the 1980s.
