Thanks to Michael Mulhern via archive.org for making a scan of this 20 page manual available. It was cleaned up a bit as usual with the Extras (Worksheet, Map and Certificate) included as well.
Goldfields is an educational adventure, simulation, resources game based around making a fortune in the Australian gold fields in the 1850's.
Produced by Jacaranda Willey in 1986 and written by Trevor K. Jacob. Also provided and needed by the program is "A Goldfields Journal" a Guide to Prospective Gold Seekers written in 1854 by Nicholas Jacob Rowe. The program was sold in disk versions only for not only the Microbee, but also the Apple 2, BBC Micro, Commodore 64 and IBM. The manual is common to the 5 computers. Unfortunately we do not have the Microbee version of the software, so if anyone could help there that would be good to complete the archive of this program.
So in the MbeeTech Repository in the Documentation/Manuals/Education folder we placed
goldfields_teachers_guide.pdf
goldfields_journal.pdf
