Man I haven't touched a Carmen Sandiego game since the 6th grade. I REALLY loved the cartoon and PBS show. I would have liked to see a game based on either one(preferably the cartoon).

But seriouly, remember when Carmen Sandiego was about thieves with ridiculous names who stole ridiculous things (like the Golden Gate Bridge) and you had to track them all over the world using clues and using a book that told you stuff about various places in the world?
What happened to that game?
Also, what happened to the cartoon with the funny Max Headroom imitation?

Ahhh...the memories. Those games were in at least one computer at every elementary school I went to. That, and Oregon Trail.

Were there any more than the above mentioned three?

There were tons. They had to update the games every other year due to changes in countries or her design. This new game doesn't sound that bad. The gumshoe is a dork but Carmen has always been the most interesting character in her series (duh).

I liked how when you caught Carmen, you couldn't play anymore since there was a hit out on you.
Also the NES version had a trick where if you went to the last area of the first City (something like that; it's been a while) the perp would always be there. All you had to do was get a warrent and you could catch them in like 5 minutes.
