Item Description
Somewhere in the last fifteen centuries, a priceless treasure has vanished, and the trail runs straight back through history. Where in Time Is Carmen Sandiego? sends you after Carmen and her V.I.L.E. gang, who have stolen a time machine to loot the past, and on the NES it turns Broderbund's computer detective game into a case file you can work from the couch.
As a new recruit at the ACME Detective Agency, you travel with the Chronoskimmer 325i, a portable time machine with a limited supply of hours. Every search, every witness you question and every scan eats into that budget. The clues are the fun part: a witness might mention an inventor, a work of art or a famous leader, and you have to work out which place and which era that points to, anywhere from the early Middle Ages to the twentieth century. Along the way you log what people tell you about the suspect, from physical traits to personal tastes, and narrow the list until you can issue a warrant. Catch the crook with the wrong warrant and they walk.
Solving cases earns promotions up the ACME ranks, and nabbing Carmen herself is the big prize. The NES version, published by Konami in 1991 and developed by Distinctive Software, has clean menus and tidy period artwork, and it plays at a relaxed, thoughtful pace that suits a living room better than you might expect.
It bridges edutainment and real game design better than most, rewarding you for reasoning through history instead of guessing at a map. And for players who grew up being outsmarted by the woman in the red fedora, it is a chance to finally turn the tables, one era at a time.

About the game
Carmen Sandiego and her gang are loose once again, and it is the players job to capture her! This time around the player not only has to find where she is, but also when she is. Traveling to various locations, they need to assemble clues by questioning witnesses and searching locations to close in and capture Carmen Sandiego. Included with the game is The New America Desk Encyclopedia to help make clues more meaningful (and act as a form of copy protection!).
