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!!
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
Ohhh boy! I used to play this game when i was like 6 or 7 years old! I learn Geography with that game! And i'll never forget the 8-bit sounds and songs of Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego!!! Man, reliving my childhood!
*Damn this is the first PC game I ever played. Played in on a Macintosh LCII. Anyone knows what this computer looked like, you get mad respect. For all you young people, a 1 GB hard drive I installed on this computer back then cost $450+! Computer came with a 32 MB hard drive!*
Occupation: pretender to the Czarist throne, Other: loves eating lobsters, watching cartoons and is fascinated by large marsupials. Now I know what to put in my resume
Thank you for sharing. I was able to show my daughter the original Carmen sandiago. She loves it.

All these years the name Ihor Ihorovich used to ring in my head but I could not recollect where I had seen that name. Even yesterday actually. It's a creepy coincidence that this video should pop up on my recommendations.
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.
Oh, man. those were the times. This game is so much better than any PS3 game, for exemple. It has passion, it had to be funny to put a smokescreen on poor graphics. I smiled when i saw these three cops chasin' the vilain... I WANT MY CHILDHOOD BACK! aahahhaa
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.
This game came with my first PC, a 386 33MHZ with a 120 meg hdd with MS DOS (5 or 6) and Windows 3.0. "Tokyo... population of 8.3 million people." LOL, isn't it like 30 million now?
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?
I played it a lot. But for the life of me I can't remember how we answered the questions without Google. I can't even answer the questions now. I think we used the encyclopedia a lot...
Nope, you can catch her at any time, however you do need to solve a certain number of cases (probably 29 as you mentioned) in order to be inducted into the Hall of Fame.

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

Thank you for sharing. I was able to show my daughter the original Carmen sandiago. She loves it.

It seemed it was fate, eh? Yes, that's a name I'll never forget as well. Thank you for watching and commenting 🙂.
I loved this game as a kid and learned so much from it.

I once asked a random house I visited when I was young if they had this game and they did. I was so excited.
Nostalgia is way too high with this :')

This is the original sound!!! I Love's this game!!!!!
As a kid about 9 years old I played this on my IBM PS/2 with Tandy monitor.
Oh, man. those were the times. This game is so much better than any PS3 game, for exemple. It has passion, it had to be funny to put a smokescreen on poor graphics.
I smiled when i saw these three cops chasin' the vilain...
