Gold Rush! Anniversary

Sunlight Games | KISS Ltd. | Released 2014

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! 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.

9 years after release: New update for “Gold Rush! Anniversary” released!

May 30 2024 News

More than nine years after the last update, Sunlight Games has released a new update for “Gold Rush! Anniversary”. The update fixes small issues and was released on Steam for PC. Soon it will be released for owner of the box version as well as for iOS and Android.

After the update was released for all platforms, the development of another update which contains new features will be started.

Changelog of all fixes in version 1.15:

- Engine updated to a latest version.

- Saving was developed completely new. For using old save games, a converter was developed, which check at the game start if there are old save games. If so, they will be backuped and then converted. If the converted save games are making problems, please start a thread in the forum, then we can convert your old ones (backuped), you then send to us. Until now, converted save-games didn’t make any problems in all tests.

- The new save games have endings and we fixed the problem in the directory with the possible added file by Steam, Cloud Save should work again in the future. In a while we will make it available again!

- Bug in parser fixed, when Jerrod gets stuck from going from harbor into direction of the bank.

- Some artworks were better trimmed in a few the scenes.

- Some collisions were optimized in a few scenes.

- Some layer problems were fixed in a few scenes.

- The mouse-cursor is now kept in the game-screen.

- After changing from P&C to parser and back, sometimes the mouse cursor was not in the menu, fixed!

A detailed list can be found in the Steam-forum!
