Feb 12, 2016 Ian searches for gold on the Yukon Trail. 🍔 Watch me on Twitch! » 🍔 ♥ You should subscribe! » http://tinyurl.com/itsmoosetim. The Yukon Trail is by far my favorite Trail game from my youth. I played through it so many times, yet particular aspects of the game made it fun to play over and over again. Unfortunately, Yukon Trail would always crash at some point during the Klondike mining. I could never understand why, but I always thought it was annoying. The Yukon Trail is an adventure game set during the Yukon gold rush of 1897. The Yukon Trail, set during the Klondike Gold Rush of 1897, is a more spirited adventure. From the moment you arrive in Seattle, you are beset upon by con artists and claim-jumpers. You'll face a host of natural obstacles and find that you must make decisions at every turn.
The Yukon Trail is a 1994 computer game from MECC based on The Oregon Trail series set during the Klondike Gold Rush of the late 19th century. Players start out in Seattle and must make decisions concerning supplies, a partner, and travel plans as they head to Alaska before boating down a river to Dawson City and staking a claim.[1] The game features the famous author Jack London[2] and old 19th century photographs that show what life was like back then.[3]
Gameplay[edit]

Start[edit]
The game starts in Seattle in August 1897 (right before the actual Gold Rush). The player must first choose one out of four partners. Each partner has unique advantages over the others. Next the player purchases two tickets for a ship to Skagway or Dyea. Tickets are more expensive for ships that depart immediately, and less expensive for those departing later. The player can buy equipment, food and other items, or they can wait until they get to Alaska. The player's partner can offer their advice on making purchases, but their advice is sometimes unwise. Upon reaching Skagway or Dyea, the player can purchase any supplies, gamble or gather information. Gambling takes the form of a War card game or a Shell game, but can be unfair and lead to losses for the most part. Gambling can be disabled in the settings.
When starting the journey the player can choose the long and easy White Pass Trail or the short and difficult Chilkoot Trail. The player can also hire packers in the two cities that would haul their supplies to the respective routes.
The Trail[edit]
The Yukon Trail gives players plenty of opportunities to think about the situation, giving many options and many possible consequences for each event, thus building problem solving skills. The initial choice players make on the trail, which can be subsequently changed, 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.
Midway down the trail, the player and partner stop at a camp. They can then buy or sell goods before climbing the mountain pass leading to the Canada–US 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. They are also required to pay a tax to bring goods into Canada. After the price for the tax is given, if the player does not have enough, the Mountie will simply take whatever money they have.
Along the trail, numerous random events can occur. 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 or abandoned animals, and sudden inclement weather.
Periodically, the player stops at landmarks along the journey, where players can learn historical facts about each location. Some include the Dead Horse Trail, the totem poles, and the three rapids: Miles Canyon, White Horse Rapids and Five Finger Rapids.
The River[edit]
The player and partner arrive at Bennett Lake after hiking into Canada. While there, they meet the legendary MountieSam Steele. During the winter they need to acquire a whipsaw if they do not already have one and then build one of three boats. Once the spring arrives and the ice has melted, the player and partner can embark with their boat. Depending on the date of their arrival at Lake Bennett, Sam Steele will let them depart right away, or have them wait two or four days before departure.
On the river, the speed is determined by the type of boat chosen, and how much damage it has sustained. The choices for boats include a dinghy, a raft, or a canoe. The dinghy is balanced, the raft handles well but is slow, and the canoe is fast but handles poorly. There are a few minigames, which involve guiding the boat away from rocks and whirlpools. After the minigame, if the boat has been damaged, the player can choose to repair the boat or build an entirely different one.
The player and partner will eventually reach Dawson City, where they are presented with a map of claims they can stake. There, they meet Nellie Cashman and author Jack London. Once they have staked a claim, they can begin searching for gold. With the arrival of winter, the game ends. The player's score is determined by the amount of money they have (from the entire journey, including gold). Most claims will yield small amounts of gold, but at least one claim can get you the high score.
One notable claim is Cheechako Hill, which is always available. Staking Cheechako Hill will always result in the player becoming rich. Historically, the initial wave of prospectors ignored Cheechako Hill because only a cheechako (newcomer) would think there was gold so high up the hillside, but it turned out to contain rich deposits.[4]

This is cool to find this still out there. Fun Fact: My father played and recorded all the ragtime music in this game (recorded via MIDI)

The Macintosh is too complicated, but windows 3.1 works for the game really well though. You tube.com has a video on how to do it though. it helps you to put windows 3.1 in dosbox, everything to play some great windows 3.1 or dos videogames. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_FZ3l1PXQc
