El Dorado is an obsolete standard for creating CD-ROMs. When a game was ready to ship, it would be placed on a gold CD. This was known an "going gold". The CD was often made of solid gold, which allowed better quality copies to be made because the data could be transferred coherently over oxygen free cables. Once you had gone gold, you could sell millions of copies. Of course, since we were all still on the gold standard back then, you could actually also swap the dollars you received for physical ingots. So the term "modern El-Dorado" suggests a modern version of getting lots of gold.
