 
Ok, this file will give you help you need to know about the American River
and the town of Coloma. Enjoy ...



Problem:
What am I supposed to do by the American River?

Hint:
Do like any other gold seeking adventurers would do. Look for
GOLD!

Hint:
You will need either a shovel or a gold pan.

Hint:
If you don't have a pan or a shovel, return back to the Forts
store and get either one.

Hint:
To pan for GOLD, you will need to be in the water and type
"pan". When using your shovel to find GOLD you will need to
"dig" for it.


Problem:
How come I got hung when I tried to pan from the river?

Hint:
You were hung because you panned in someone elses claim.

Hint:
Before you pan in a new room type "look man" or "talk man".
This will let you know if your in someones claim.
 

Problem:
How come I not getting any gold out of the river?

Hint:
You may not be in a good place to pan.

Hint:
Try up stream(east) alittle farther.

Hint:
You wont be able to get any gold until you are at least 10
miles from Sutters Fort. The area around the town of Coloma
is in gold country.


Problem:
What do I do when I have all the GOLD I can get from the river or
countryside?

Hint:
Return to the Fort to get the other needed supplies or go on to
the town of Coloma.
 

Problem:
I have found the GREEN PASTURES hotel. What am I to do inside?

Hint:
Look around and pick up clues. Remember the tombstone at Sutters
Fort?

Hint:
Try to rent a room.

Hint:
Rent room eleven. You will notice that it is rented but the
clerk will give you a message to give to the man renting
the room. Give the message to the gentleman.

Hint:
When the man leaves, the door remains open. Enter the room.
 

Problem:
I'm in room eleven and not quite sure what to do. What do I do?

Hint:
"Look room" this will give you other things to look at.

Hint:
It should say something about a cannon on the fireplace mantle.

Hint:
Try turning the cannon's wheel.

Hint:
You turn the cannon's wheel and a passage, big enough for you to
fit through, opens up.

Hint:
When the back of the fireplace is open you should be able to
type "Go fireplace".
 

Problem:
I'm inside the old room twelve. What can I do?

Hint:
Get the different items in the room.

Hint:
You should of noticed a bird flying near the window. Open the
window to let the bird into its cage. Close the cage.

Hint:
Look at the bird.

Hint:
You should notice a capsule attached to its leg. Look at it.

Hint:
Insert the proper identification into the capsule attached to
the birds leg.

Hint:
You should insert your family photograph you obtained from your
house back in Brooklyn. If you don't have your photo,
restore your game to get it.

Hint:
Open the window to let the bird go. When it returns there will
be something in the capsule. GET IT.
