I wish that game focused more on the three different paths than so much on the trip through California. I thought the different ways would be nice chunks of adventure but at least the way I tried was only like 3 or 4 screens long where you walked a linear path. Which means when I load my save right before you get to choose, I'll get about 5 minutes of extra adventure

. I was disappointed by that. Most of the game is spent typing [pan for gold] or [use pick axe] over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over.
