Originally released in 1984 for home microcomputers, Gilligan's Gold saw players dodging bandits in a dangerous mine - trying to grab large bags of precious gold! Now, relive those days in this remastered emulated version. (This particular version was originally made for the Amstrad CPC home microcomputer.)## Gameplay

Climb ladders to reach new areas. Grab bags of gold and transport them to your wheelbarrow at the top of the screen. Watch out for the deadly bandits. The pickaxe can be used to mine through certain parts of the wall - hiding secret gold caches - or to stun an outlaw. Ride minecarts to zip through the mines.

This enhanced version introduces a number of modern features to this retro classic, including:

• Saving/loading the game at any point
• Support for most modern game controllers
• Full control remapping
• Image scaling and smoothing options
