Carmen Sandiego

[Tuckles]

Did anyone else play this series of games as younglings?

I had a ****ing blast with the 1996 Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego.

Now if someone could point me to the right direction in reacquiring a copy...

 

[Austupaio]

She's not in the ****ing kitchen. She's in Paris.

..She also had a sexy outfit.

 

[bgfan]

I've often wondered what would happen if Carmen Sandiego and Waldo got married and had a child...

 

[Temuzu]

I remember something like this, but never played it. Yellow raincoat or something?

The further down I go on google images, the more provocative she becomes.

Ah yes, the game that taught me how to pronounce Tenochtitlan. Probably one of the first computer games I played a whole lot of.

 

[HTAPAWASO]

Yeah I remember playing that.


They have a few of the earlier games on Abandonia:

And I have a hard-copy of the 1996 version... somewhere...

Anyone remember the game show? That show had the best intro ever!

 

[Blackfish]

I played this when I was really young, the one where your boss is Whoopi Goldberg hamming it up (or do they all have her?).

 

[Gabeed]

I'm pretty sure that was Lynne Thigpen, not Whoopi Goldberg.

Anyway, I played a couple versions of Where in the World? and Where in the USA?  Great games.

My sister had them, that's all I really remember. They're still here though.

Let's see...there's Carmen Sandiego's ThinkQuick Challenge and Where in the U.S.A. is Carmen Sandiego?

Damn, so many old CD's in this CD case...hell, I even still have Army Men II. That game was fun.

 

[Dryvus]

'Where in the U.S.A.'? What the hell, is she short of cash or something?

 

[Archonsod]

They even made a cartoon out of it.

Think it was one of those games that got popular in the US and vanished into obscurity in Europe, a bit like Star Control.

 

[arbites_augmented]

I ****ing loved this game, best game ever.

Ah, thats where I remember her from! I have those places sang in the intro burned into my brains for eternity

Ah, thats right. I think I was thinking of someone else. I did remember a silly hat though

 

[Dryvus]

Hey, did anyone here ever catch Carmen?

 

[Tuckles]

I believe one of my siblings did. She didn't leave that computer for quite a while due to that game.

Still looking for a 1996 copy. They apparently remade Where in the World in 2007.

THANK YOU!!!!!!

The song didn't mention North Korea. I declare it racist.

 

[Flanged]

The folk in Irkutsk must have a pretty good view from where they are.
