    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!!

    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.

    I played this game before. And I did catch Carmen Sandiego. Before you go after her, you must solve 29 cases.

  • @abhitron
    @abhitron  Před 14 lety +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?

      ***** Oh, he'd seen enough info to get the warrant, he just didn't notice it and at the end put in black hair to get a warrant (since he was right on top of the suspect) stuck on Fast Eddie for some reason. Fast Eddie doesn't drive a limo tho! So after looking at the dossier, he put in red hair to get Scar... whom it turned out to be. Good answer, but pretty flimsy work Detective, back to the academy for you. :)
      His decisive evidence WAS that the suspect didn't like seafood... and since Ihor likes seafood and Scar likes tacos, it WAS Scar Greynolt THE WHOLE TIME!!
