That brings me to something else... You can buy Long Johns and a blanket in the shop. Can you actually sleep out in the open?

Woah! $500 for one sack!

i think you wouldnt be sleeping literally. but your health will decrease less rapidly if you posess long johns and a blanket out in the open at nights. keep digging :P i wonder who is gonna find the lost dutchman mine first around here? btw this is a true story. check google for "lost dutchman mine."

Yeah the 3D game you posted some time ago also tells the story of mr. Jacob Waltz (anyone remember the Scrooge(©) story where he actually finds the mine? not much information but not that interesting anyway)

Great game!
I've got most of the pieces of the map, but can't make much of it.

Does anybody know how to read it?

Any way to play this w/o a joystick?

Yes, by playing without one :wacko:
Just move around with the cursor keys, the space bar is the 'action' key (eg switching between screens, shooting the gun, hacking for gold in the mines etc.). Alternately, I think numpad 1 is also appliable but I'm not sure. Just use space.

Hi all,

I'd like to ask your opinion on this:
My oldtimer stepped into a mine that first looked like a usual mine with frames (?) and ladders, gold and so on. Then I found a passage downward to an unexplored part of the mine. The whole walls were glimming like gold (Is this the lost mine?), but i couldn't get it. Trying to get back out, I had to see that the exit wasn't there anymore, just a dead end.
So I went further down, where came into a room with several ropes and spiders running up and down the ropes. Having managed to climb the ropes without having died from the spiders (after some trying), I came back to the usual part of the mine with an exit, but nothing else...
What's it all about? Just a gimmik? The lost mine? Don't know..

Maybe You do? :blink:

Greetings,
Jochen

guys, jus HOW d'you sleep? What's the button to press???

Sry for the stupid question

If I remember correctly, this game has a very sad "bug" :cry: (or rather drastic misbalance) with which you can make infinite amount of money. Just play poker in the saloon, u'll see what I mean.

Go to the saloon when it starts to get dark, you'll see the option 'sleep'. After a dark screen you'll stand in front of the saloon at 9 AM.

Well that's rather untrue, I lost all my money.
