Where In Time Is Carmen Sandiego?



Yes! I've finally got it!

Has anyone heard of Carmen Sandiego? Basically to explain, it's a couple of cool CD-ROM games that teach you while you play. Carmen Sandiego is the criminal mastermind of V.I.L.E, her criminal headquarters. A good agency, A.C.M.E, is always out to stop her schemes, all from stealing the Mona Lisa to the Moon. (There's also a cartoon called "Where On Earth Is Carmen Sandiego?" that you can find on YouTube.)

My sister and I have wanted to finish this one for ages, but it just so happened that our little brother rubbed the CD over the floor when he was one.(In other words, a very very long time ago.) Now, we've finally got the chance to finish the game and catch Carmen, because we've interlibrary-loaned it!

Basically in this game, Carmen and her V.I.L.E villains have broken into A.C.M.E headquarters and stolen the Chronoskimmer; a time travel device. She scatters her villains throughout time to steal ancient artifacts and disrupt history. The player and an A.C.M.E Good Guide have to travel through time to catch the villains and --- in the final game--- catch Carmen herself.

Don't be fooled by the age level; it's really fun to play! So, after school and religious classes today, my siblings and I plan to try and start the game again. So, wish us luck in catching Carmen!
