Hey Everyone,
I just won and received a boxed copy of the game "Gold Rush" the game comes with the Five 5.25" floppies and the Two 3.5" Floppies, however my disk 1 of the 3.5" is no good can anyone send me a data image of disk 1? I know I can find a zip of the entire game online, but I'd like to see if I can repair/restore the disk

Also, I think all of the downloads I found of this game have had the copy protection removed, so when you start the game it just jumps to a intro screen that says "and Sierra" skipping the first part of the into. So thats not for me, I want the orignal 100% game ^-^

Thanks everyone!!

Collector may be able to help you; but will need verification that you own the game (if he has it) which usually means taking a picture with the game doing something specific to make sure it's not something you grabbed off of google images or something!

He doesn't let me do the image suggestions, which is something like: Hanging upside down while holding the box in the left hand, and Disk1 in the right hand...

I don't see why he doesn't use my suggestions.

Cause the last guy that followed your suggestions ended up in the hospital for a week!

I'd like to clarify - it was a work week. So 5 days, not a full 7!

That game only came on 2 floppies? I know the IIgs version came on 4 floppies.

it came with two 3.5" diskettes and five 5.25" floppies (as was stated in the 1st post)

Johnny,
I have the game but it's stored away somewhere. I'll take a look around for it if you still need it.

Wow, did I get sidetracked. YES I'd still would love a image of disk 1
I can provide ANY proof needed to prove ownership.
Included but not limited to the old fashioned page # line # word # from the guide
any trivial question of whats in the box or on the box (hopefully I have everything inside:P)
or a silly picture of me holding the box and games in a silly but! identifiable manner ^-^

ALSO

I have enabled the "Notify me when a reply is posted" option in this post, so I wont be a ghost for 2 months when this topic is replied to.

I would love a image of disk 1

Thanks everyone!!

Hard to beat proof when you have the current thread like that! I don't have a floppy drive myself to get it for you - but someone here might!

So far I was able to kinda "reconstruct" a disk 1 from the files floating around the internets. but its the copy protection cracked version... BLAH I want the copy protection intact. I sent a PM to collector in hopes he can help me out. fingers cross!!

Also I know there's only trace amount shown on the photo, but bonus points to anyone who can ID my desktop wallpaper

What version?

My floppies say Version #2.01

Found it. Check your PM Johnny.

Thanks dotkel50! you the man!

I was able to format and repair my disk 1, test it, no read errors, or bad sectors, I then restored it with your files and blam-o! a perfect working disk 1!

w00000!!
