Gold Rush! Manual or Answers (Protection)
 

I've tried to run this:

http://hol.abime.net/2758

in ScummVM but unfortunately the copy protection is not removed (you have to answer questions referring to the manual) *)

Can anybody help? The short manual on lemon is not the right one. There must be a "longer" one.

I've searched much, but "Gold Rush" is a very common topic in google & co :(



*) I know that this workd fine with WHDLoad btw. But I like to use it with scummVM

The book you're searching for is 'California Gold' by Phyllis and Lou Zauner. It's not the manual of the game, but was packed with the game. Guess there's somewhere a PDF of it flying around the net ;) I'll have a look later :)

Unfortunately I haven´t found anything. But thanks for the hint.

Same here :( I really hope someone has the book and can scan it.

It's available on eBay:

EDIT: would it be possible that different editions have different number of pages (due to different font sizes and impagination) ?
If so, then "word x at page y etc." will be a mess :(

What triggers the protection?

Just start the game :)

I have just hoped that anybody had an already created PDF of it or something similar. There is no need to spend too much time on it. For myself I have just "closed the file". Thanks for your help again.

@Supamax
The pages etc. should not be great problem. There are questions like "What is the name of..." etc. and a hint where to find it (Page/Topic).

You're a funny git! ;)

I just downloaded it and nothing pops up, I downloaded if off Planetemu thinking it wasn't cracked because theres no intro, disk looks untouched.

Start a new game, then you'll be asked to answer the questions, like in Larry. Afair it was right at the beginning of a new game, can take a look in the evening, but that should be it, if the game is original.

The one I downloaded has been cracked, protection did pop up once, so perhaps the OP should just download that, you'll need to install a bootblock and create a startup-sequence to get it to autoboot though.

Check you pm's ;)

If still required, I think I have it scanned at home! Let me know

Let you know ;) Would be cool if you could share it man :)

Thanks. We´ve got a pdf (38 MB).

@Mods

Allowed to share? Via link? FTP?

Yeah, should be fine to share it on here, certainly as far as I'm aware.

Argh, I'm maybe a bit late, but I'm uploading my own manual to Magix FTP right now.

Folder \User\NG

The file is a .7zip file, 27MB. Double-page scanned JPEGs, done myself with my tiny hands a few years ago, and featuring my kiddy handwriting in the corners to note the page numbers ;)

A kind of collector item for when I die rich and famous.



PS: if you're looking for Sierra adventure games stuff, post or send me a PM, there are very high chances that I have it :)

:lol Ah cool NG :great I'll keep for that day then ;)
No really, thank you very much :)

I´ve compared the first pages with NG´s upload: It seems to fit.
And: It´s high quality pdf. Thanks to you two!
