Some of you may know that I have been working with Sunlight Games to bring the original Gold Rush! to modern PCs. This work is now done and the game will be released shortly. It will be available as a digital download from Sunlight's store and Steam. There will also be a boxed copy that will be shipped worldwide.

Sunlight Games: Gold Rush! Classic release soon for PC
Cologne, July 03, 2014 – The independent game developer Sunlight Games will re-release Gold Rush! Classic for PC. The re-release will be online at 25. July. There will be also a box-version in the Sunlight webshop at 29. August. Fans will get not only the old Adventure, but also the original map, the original manual and unpublished original concept drawings of the developer from the 80s.

The remake version of Gold Rush! will be released in the fourth quarter of 2014. In addition, a release for other platforms such as Mac and mobile devices is planned.

I'm really interested in the remake. The background image on that website looks promising. 😀

They were good people to work with, but there was far more waiting than anything else. Much of it had to keep being approved by the copyright holders (the MacNeill brothers).

Thank goodness there's going to be a boxed copy. I hate digital only games.

BTW, if there's going to be a Mac version, how about compiling it as a Universal Binary so PowerPC users can enjoy it, too?

There was no discussion about a Mac version, but it would be a simple matter to buy the game and use the game files with a Mac build of DOSBox.

Please post when and where you can order the boxed edition as it becomes available.
