Gold and Glory: The Road to El Dorado

Windows - 2000

Gold and Glory: The Road to El Dorado is a fun adventure game for kids that was released with surprisingly little fanfare by UBI Soft, despite having the coveted Dreamworks movie license and designer credit to Revolution Software, makers of critically-acclaimed Broken Sword series.

In this traditional point-and-click cartoon adventure, you will follow the exploits of movie’s heroes Miguel, Tulio, and Altivo the horse in their efforts to find and pillage the lost City of Gold. After playing the game, though, one shouldn’t be surprised if El Dorado becomes the least successful of all Revolution games.

Despite sporting outstanding graphics and cartoon animation that fans of Broken Sword are familiar with, El Dorado is disappointingly short. I finished the game in about 7 hours or less, and that’s with replaying some segments a few times, including the lengthy cutscenes in between. Although El Dorado is ostentatiously a “kid’s game,” puzzles are so easy that they provide almost no challenge whatsoever.

The dice game within the game, for example, is virtually impossible to lose (the game just won't let you), not to mention painfully lengthy to complete. That’s a real pity, because the game’s exotic and historical setting could make for a much more educational and worthwhile experience.

In the end, fans of Revolution’s other adventure games may not be disappointed with El Dorado, but will probably regret that the game provides only a few evenings of entertainment—or even less. Recommended, but only if you can get it at a steep discount from other, longer games.

For those who don't care about the game, and just want to see Chel's model, let me save you 3 hours:

Loving this game! Aside from the annoying dice game at the start, it's a totally charming, simple point n click adventure.
A note on the download options! I found that the RIP version didn't 100% work. The game itself worked fine, but it skipped all the cutscenes. I then tried the ISO version, but it's actually a .mdf file. You can use the tool here at www.mdftoiso.com to convert it. So it's an extra step - but now it's running 100% perfect, cutscenes and all. I should note that I'm running this on an old Windows 98 system, so your mileage may vary! But yeah 1000% worth checking out, especially when it's such a short game.

For those wondering, there is a 3D model of Chel that very hard to miss in the later levels. (She appears as an easter egg)

Something brought me here just to kill my nostalgia and one of my first love delusions, which was Chel! ❤

Apart from the file sizes, what are RIP versions and how are they different to ISO ?

Somebody who played this please comment, besides the compatibility issues you might encounter on modern systems or OS, is there a 3D model of Chel? I don't care how good the game is, as long as I get to see the Goddess in a 3D form.
