Gilligan's gold is scattered in bags around a three-screen mine. Your task is to collect all the bags and put them into a wheelbarrow on the left hand screen. The three screens are connected by a network of tunnels, ladders, lifts and trolley tracks and are of the flick-screen variety (not scrolling).

While you collect the bags you face danger from two outlaws who run about the mine and also from fatal falls down holes and collision with the trollies. You can stun the outlaws by dropping gold on them or by grabbing a pickaxe to hit them with. You can avoid the trollies, or get in them by swinging up on hooks in the ceiling.

Each bag of gold has to be returned to the wheelbarrow within a time limit and for the gold on the furthest screen that takes careful timing. You can also get a special double bonus sack of gold but this isn't essential for completing the game which starts you all over again if you do.
