Gold Rush! An Americana Pinball Game

When the 49ers went out west to claim their fortune, I doubt they were looking for a silver ball. In my Advance Pinbox 3000, you take on the role of those 49ers and try and find your own fortune.

In Gold Rush you are tasked with retrieving the gold from the mine, to do this you must open the door at the top and then go up either of the ramps to collect the gold. Once the gold has been retrieved, you win.

Additionally, there are bumpers of TNT and spinning pickaxes on the board. These are for thematic, obstacle, and bonus purposes and don’t satisfy the win condition.

I hope the external ramps will be much more friendly to player than in my head-to-head, and to ensure that I will be decreasing the angle of the board so it’s not so difficult to hit the ball up the ramps.

I will be adding better decals than my previous designs and hope that it will be a very aesthetically pleasing board. I want to take inspiration from Norman Rockwell and many Americana works.
