    Carmen Sandiego will always have a special place in my heart. I vividly remember playing it in the fifth grade with four or five of my classmates for months. The teacher I had was the only one in the school with a computer in the classroom--a Commodore 64 with a 5 1/4 inch floppy disk drive. Back in 1990, this was BIG. And of course, back then, you had to look up all the clues using an encyclopedia or an atlas so it was a lot of work. But I do remember when we finally caught Carmen; we all celebrated like we won the Super Bowl. Good times indeed!!

      This game made detective work look intriguing. That and reading “Harriet the Spy!” And I bet you learned a lot about currency and flags!

      I was playing this in 1993 sometime. On ibm computers. I remember mid to late 90s they got rid of those for all black ibm computers and they didn’t have this or Oregon trail on it. I was soo pissed

    My uncle bought a computer and it also had some games with it. One of them was Carmen Sandiego. I used to stare at the box and really wanted to play. Since was only 7 or 8 years old and didn't speak English it wasn't really an option but still I dreamed about playing a detective in a videogame. My love for computers and videogames was born.

    @abhitron  14 років тому +1

    I had a look at your Carmen video, and I noticed that you're using an external video capture program to record your gameplay. DOSBox has its own video capturing function which you can use. Pressing CTRL-ALT-F5 while using DOSBox creates a capture in the AVI format, which is stored in the 'capture' folder of your 'DOSBox' folder. This only records the game itself, so by doing this you should be able to rid yourself of that blue loading circle. Hope that helps.

    Hmmm, all the updates for the first 1985 version are exactly the same in terms of gameplay which is why I went with the '1985' tag, but you're right, I should label this as the 1991 update. What do you think I should rename this video as?
