Christmas is over, 2012 is with us, and Isis is also back from holiday. That means it’s time for Gold Rush to reopen for a new year of gaming.

Specific to the machine, there’s now a new graphics card in there, which will hopefully alleviate those horrible lag spikes whenever there’s a fading background. Also gone are a large number of songs – too many to mention here, but but about 300 got chopped, mostly because nobody played them all year.

I will post some data about the year past in the future, but in the meantime head back down the seafront to get playing again.
