I hope you will find Bartooli's Mine easy and fun to play over and over again.  You should read the story after you read this page by clicking on the Story link.  It is important to know the lay of the land before you enter town.  Just click on any areas of interest below for detailed information as well as helpful hints and tips on playing the game.

To win Bartooli's Mine you must find it and the stash of gold, make sure it's real gold at the Assay Office, file a claim, get your gold in the bank and get out of town alive on a stage. I'm not sure anyone can win with the "shit happens" random scenes occurring at the most inappropriate times.

As in real life you will have to eat, use the privy and sleep. You might even have a dream of your Uncle Guido's Ghost telling you where one of his secret entrances is located or warn you of danger. If you don't do them, things will go bad for you quickly with Boot Hill as your final destination.

You are armed with a colt 45 revolver that fires only six shots.  You will need to buy more bullets if you empty you gun. You have a money draft from you Uncle's estate in the amount of $500 which you should put in the bank and get some cash for expenses Like the hotel which has room and board rates that are quite reasonable.

This is a point and click game for the most part. This is true for doors, latches, directions and objects. Watch the cursor for changes in it's appearance and then click.
