Gold Rush! (later retitled California: Gold Rush!) is a graphic adventure video game designed by Doug and Ken MacNeill and released by Sierra On-Line in 1988.

Gold Rush! was among the last games Sierra produced with the AGI interface and one of the most complex. The Software Farm, run by the original developers, owns and publishes the game rights.

Controls

This is a PC game: it uses the keyboard the way it did under MS-DOS, and the mouse where the game supports it. Click the game screen first so it gets your key presses.

Many DOS games start with a menu or ask a question first — read the screen and answer with the keyboard. Arrow keys, Enter, Space, Ctrl and Alt are the usual game keys.
