Gold Rush! by Sierra still does exist but you can't easily buy it. It will work in scummvm or you could use an emulator. Unlike books it is much harder to access and use older computer programs.


Yeah, this part was kind of puzzling :

> But when she tried to play the adventure game Gold Rush, she discovered that the version she had played obsessively as a kid no longer existed.

What do they mean by that ? That she failed to ask around ??

"Gold Rush! Classic", $2.99 on Steam. Runs in DOSBox just fine.


That appears to be based on a re-release after the rights reverted to the original developers, rather than the original build published by Sierra.
