    On its original release in 1988, Gold Rush! would’ve been an impressive achievement. By today’s standards, there’s nothing here that would attract someone new to the remake.

    An unreasonably expensive and mediocre remaster of a classic game.

    If you’re a hardcore fan of the Gold Rush! original, there might be some value in picking up Anniversary on sale. If you’re not, don’t waste your hard-earned riches.

It's not intelligent. In fact, it's not even point n' click. Half the hand movements are unnecessary. Also, the voice-acting is atrocious. Game would have been better without any.
    They kept the flaw of the original game, the player being directionless in an nonexistent narrative. Back then, one could bear it while admiring the openness of the map, the slow realism of interactions... These were quite a feat, and a rarity, if not a novelty. These days though, it's just boring.
