Fun Fact: My father played and recorded all the ragtime music in this game (recorded via MIDI).

Wish this game worked online the same as Oregon Trail; this was the one I really loved.

The game is based around the Klondike Gold Rush of the late 19th century.

Players start out in Seattle, where they must partner up, secure travel, and purchase needed provisions.

Once the spring arrives and the ice has melted, the player and partner can embark with their boat.

The player is presented with a wharf, but must first go downtown, where there is a ticket office and a shop called Pioneer Outfitters.

The game does not allow the player to purchase anything until they choose a partner.

Partners can only be found at the ticket office, which is where the player is directed.

Golden. Each partner has unique advantages over the others: the miner collects gold more effectively, the native can carry more weight, the carpenter can build and repair more effectively, and the businessman has more money.

After selecting a partner the player purchases two tickets for one of three ships to Skagway or one of three ships to Dyea.

Tickets are more expensive for ships that depart immediately, and less expensive for those departing later.

The player can buy equipment and food for the journey at Pioneer Outfitters, or they can wait until they get to Alaska.

There is also a peddler at the wharf who will sell two of the following items: gold-sniffing gophers, a trail bicycle, a folding canvas boat, eggs, caviar, or kittens.

Some of the peddlers items are relatively worthless, but others may be resold at a profit.

The players partner can offer advice on purchasing tickets, outfits, or anything else, but it is not always wise to heed their advice.

For instance, some partners encourage the player to delay buying supplies until they arrive in Alaska, where supplies are more expensive, or to buy the peddlers worthless items.

Advice given depends on which partner is chosen.

Upon reaching their destination, either Skagway or Dyea, they can purchase any supplies that were not bought in Seattle, gamble, or head for either the White Pass trail or the Chilkoot trail.

Gambling involves a game of find the nugget, where a gold nugget is placed under one of three cups, which are shuffled.

If the player bets the higher amount, the game is rigged so it is impossible to win.

The initial choice players make on the trail, and can constantly change if wished, is the load personally carried.

A smaller load results in the ground moved each day to become shorter (as some of the supplies have to be left behind and then returned for).

Moreover, the trail becomes much more difficult to travel when encroaching upon the winter months.

However, a larger load will result in a higher probability of the player or partner being injured.

They can then buy or sell goods before climbing the mountain pass leading to the Canadian border where they pay a toll to pass into the Yukon Territory.

The North West Mounted Police will not let them pass unless they have 1000 pounds of food per person.

Random events include: someone being injured (the player decides to continue at a slower pace or to rest), theft of food, rockslides, crowds of people, and sudden inclement weather.

To do this they must acquire a whipsaw if they do not already have one.
