Hmmm...you both could be right. In fact, if the graphics had been enhanced they'd advertise this on the distribution site as it'd be a definite selling enticement.

Btw, did you notice where they have a page offering to sell other people's software? We could upload the Abandonia game there when it's finished

Edit:

Just noticed this on the page with larger screens which I think answers the question:

'California Gold Rush's graphics are not high-res by today's standards, but the colors are lively and animated objects bring the screen to life.'

The game would probably be more successful on Abandonia, as I'm pretty sure that The Software Farm isn't nearly as popular...or nearly as cool B)

Especially considering Gold Rush is the only thing on the entire website. I'm surprised it's even still in business if they haven't updated it since 2000 and they're selling it for 19.95.

This is one of the first game I ever played, and back then my english sucked so I was never able to leave SF, or live very long after that. I found it 6 years ago and dedicated a day to it, got the walkthrough and went through all 3 paths, just for my satisfaction. I keep a copy of it and the walkthrough just so I can show it to people another 10 years from now how far and how little we have come in computer games.

I think rights for games like this have expired unless they did a republish edition, the copyright laws is the same as books, as long as they keep on publishing different editions with 'enough' differences, they maintain the copyright, for 50 years I think.

Hi,

I'm having a problem with this game.
In the beginning you have to sell your house.
So I put the 'for sale'-sign up.
And according to the walkthrough a man should come to buy it.
But everytime I play this game, the man never comes.

Can anyone help me with this?

Ok, found the problem.
When the game is in fast or fastest mode. It doesn't seem to advance in time.
If you check the 'elapsed time'-dialog it stays on the same time. No matter how long you let Jerrod stand there.

When you put it in normal, the time will go on as it should.
So when I tried that, I waited a minute and there came the man.

Ok, that was me...

The game is still for sale and as such it is not allowed under forum rules to request it, nor is it allowed for anyone to post a link for you, sorry.
