Me playing through the 1991 update of the earliest version of Carmen Sandiego, first released for by Brøderbund Software in 1985. Instant classic edutainment!!!
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!!
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
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
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?
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.
I remember never playing this game. NEVER! Because the other kids at school hogged the library computer at lunchtime to play it. Lol.... At the time I always figured that it must be some great game since I'd never get a shot on it. I never did end up playing it. ... oh well lol
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...
Hey, I used to have a computer with similar kinds of specs as well, except it was a 486 :) . Haha, yeah Tokyo indeed has 30+ million people, but that's the number in the whole Tokyo metropolitan area, whereas in this game they were referring to just the city area of Tokyo.
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?
A alguien más le daba miedo la música del juego xD, recuerdo que era tan pequeño cuando jugaba esto y me sentía perseguido con la música :C xDD incluso ahora mismo me da un poco de miedo todavía lol
***** 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!! Man I loved this game when I was a kid!
@@joystickjedi Ok thanks! I was going to ask how he knew he had red hair. He guessed. got it. :) What would have happened if he were wrong? Would they say "You have falsely arrested Scar, now he is suing you"? LOL

Ditto on those old 286 imb pcs with thw tough plastic and hard to press keys
Fax. And the tank game
@@michaelortiz3154scorched earth. Wicked game
This game made detective work look intriguing. That and reading “Harriet the Spy!” And I bet you learned a lot about currency and flags!

Man, what a flashback! This was one of the first computer games I ever owned.

Wiki + Google = Game ruined.
*****
Wiki: search the game's year.
Google: that year GNP of that country OR the Book of Facts :D
I played this game before. And I did catch Carmen Sandiego. Before you go after her, you must solve 29 cases.

i remember i used to play this on my friends tandy 1000
thanks
THIS GAME IS AWESOME. I hate the fact that I have a mac! I'd get a PC just for this, lol
Did you know there was a book to go with this game, Fyodors Guide.
I remember never playing this game. NEVER! Because the other kids at school hogged the library computer at lunchtime to play it. Lol.... At the time I always figured that it must be some great game since I'd never get a shot on it. I never did end up playing it. ... oh well lol
me now: ah, good memories,
5 year old me: holy crap! that game's in color now?
Me escaping Area 51 after finding out where Carmen Sandiego is:
I HAVE TO PLAY THIS GAME.
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...
do you have the book for the promotions?
i want this game!!!!!!!!
