Game Description

Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? is an educational video game released by Broderbund in 1985. It is the first product in the Carmen Sandiego franchise.

A deluxe version was released in 1992, and featured additional animation and a reworked interface from the original version. Some of the bonus features include: “digitized photos from National Geographic, over 3200 clues, music from the Smithsonian/Folkways Recordings, 20 villains, 60 countries, and 16 maps”. CD-ROM versions for MS-DOS and Macintosh were released in 1992, and a Windows version was released in 1994.
