me quote:
"Sunlight Games GmbH has acquired the rights to produce and publish a remake or the old classic. It is projected to be released sometime around 2014/2015. Apparently it will support both a parser and a point and click interface. It will be available in both digital download and disc.

Not only have they received the rights to remake this classic, they also will be distributing the original. I was contracted to create a distribution package for the original. This is version 3.0 without the annoying manual check copy protection scheme. Since this was removed from the code by the MacNeill brothers, it has no timer bugs like there was from the cracked version floating that had been around on the internet which has some serious timer bugs created by the crack. This version will have no trouble, even if you set the speed to its highest setting."

You got me excited for nothing. I thought you meant a real gold rush with gold. I would 100% go somewhere and look for gold.

...Oh, so its actually called Gold Rush?

Ooohh, exciting news! How fondly I remember dying over and over in that game!

This is exciting news, I loved playing the original, one of the great Sierra classics! And while it was very unforgiving with plenty of dead ends and ways to die, I just loved the overall gameplay, including the three different ways to travel to California. Hope both the original and the remake will be available on Gog here!

Nice! Planned release for 2014/2015 is still a long way to go, but hopefully it will come to GOG too.

Necrooooooooo!

Just letting y'all know that the original has now turned up in Steam's 'Coming Soon' section, if you hadn't seen it

Yeah, the publisher is KISS ltd, I don't know what's going on with them because they seem to publish a lot of stuff on Steam that's listed as published by 'Blue Moon, Red Owl' here on GOG (Soulbringer, Litil Divil etc.)
Whether they're the same company or if BMRO feels it need to go though KISS to get its stuff on Steam or if KISS are muscling in on BMRO's publishing contracts or what...

I inadvertently tripped over this one while searching Steam. I'd much prefer to purchase this one from GOG, but I'm glad it's finally seeing a re-release. Now, how do we go about getting a special collector's edition of Codename: Iceman?

It's time for a Gold Rush!
