I played the 1997 version most often with my older siblings. My family is huge history nerds and I have fond memories of my oldest sister detailing historic events and how our family tied into them as she played while I would watch.

I played "Where in the World" a lot on Amiga and strangely enough, it came in a legit Broderbund compilation (or pack sold with the computer) but without the encyclopedia book... And funny enough, after a lot of frustration from not being able to pass the copy protection after the first mission(s), my brother and I discovered that opening one of the game files into a text editor gave us all the copy protection questions and answers. We felt like real hackers back then. Good times.

It's the "set temporal distance" method of time travel. Example: You travel 500 years into the past and from there 500 years into the future. A minute on either side moves the "500 years mark" that minute forward. So, you always come back to "the present" at a time shift equal to the time you spent in the other era. The portal always moves you the same time-distance whenever entered. Like covering a mile, but the mile might end up differently if you start in a different spot.

Except that nothing's stopping you from traveling to any point _before_ your start position. Hell, Bill & Ted uses the same concept (hence why it's known as "San Dimas Time" on TV Tropes), and yet despite those two almost failing History class, they still use time travel more efficiently!

The 325i joke was much appreciated, as that was immediately where my mind went as soon as I saw that.

That TV show intro is so _aggressively_ 90s.

I grew up playing the originals, but my oldest nice who is now in her early 20's had the CD-ROM of Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego, and I had a go at it once when I was helping her getting it installed, and it was indeed pure cheesiness but fun, I have the PS 2 game in my collection(found at a GoodWill for $1.01) as well based on the Fox Kids Animated series, and what I could stomach of it was pure early - mid 00's hand holding 3D collectathon, and it in a way makes me sad, that it's not like the games we grew up with.

Where in Time is the Carmen Sandiego game I played the most, because of the history subject. Also I find the theme song of Where in Time game show just as catchy as Rockappella!

Well...now that song is not leaving my head for some time...thank you, Clint! We are in quarantine, you know? Alone with ourselves, but now I'm with that song too.

Carmen was caught.... but the future refused to change.

I was just watching a play through of the 1997 version of “Where in Time is CS”, I loved that game! Perfect timing

The council assigned a volunteer to get food and medicine for us during the start of the pandemic and she and her flatmate have become our friends over the past year. They just came over for a doorstep chat and were talking about how much they loved Where in Time Is Carmen Sandiego? and wished they could play it again. Being an avid viewing of LGR for so many years, I knew exactly where to find it. You've just made my two new friends extremely happy. Thank you! :)

The Where in Time TV show theme blew my 5-year old mind the first time I heard it. I remember calling my mom into the room because she just NEEDED to hear the new catchiest song in the world.

I learned so much from those games lol, including this one!

Old tech videos are fun but your game reviews always tickle my nostalgia nerve in very special ways

Me and my wife were talking about old games we played at school back I. The day, and this was one of them. I loved the Carmen Sandiego games as a kid.

That theme song has been seared into my brain since childhood. I loved the show so much and it always felt to me like everyone only knew about Where in the World. (Also, Sir Vile was my favorite of the V.I.L.E. Villains.)

I am one of the few who enjoyed Where in North Dakota is Carmen Sandiego. My grade school teacher considered it an educational tool. Yes, I live in North Dakota.

If she dies: Where In Hell Is Carmen Sandiego?

Oh my Goddess. Clint, you seriously struck me right in the "childhoods" with this one!

I was a HUGE fan of Carmen Sandiego when I was a kid. I remember watching the show every night with my grandma when she got home from work. Then later I'd play the remake of Where in the USA at her house and constantly ask her for help. I learned a lot about history and geography from Carmen and my Grandma as a team. Grams no longer with me but I'll always have Carmen to remind me of her.

This was my first Carmen Sandiego game! I asked my dad for the original and he came back with this instead. I love that bike on the cover!

Ah, so this game is obviously running on "San Dimas Time" logic

MORE! seriously, need more LGR reviews of old games please.

Man... I played this game and I loved it! I never did catch Carmen but I remember traveling through time and all the animations.

Thank you so much LGR for all the recent IBM AT footage! :D

I was playing this game again about a week ago (I was in a "Carmen Sandiego Marathon", so to speak...) and I actually searched a review of it on your channel. It's nice that now there is one. I love educational games and this is, in my opinion, one of the best (along with Oregon Trail). I actually improved my history and geography knowledge a lot by playing it again (as a kid, I just wanted to arrest the crooks and didn't care about the "learning" part, I would forget everything I read in one day, but now I was somehow more interested in learning, I've read a lot of Wikipedia articles this time lol). And yes, the game show opening song is VERY catchy. There's a high quality version of it included in the "Great Chase Through Time" CD (I can upload it if anyone is interested) but unfortunately it is a short version (1 minute long), not the full one.

I remember playing this in junior high school. On rainy days my PE teacher was also a history teacher. He had this on a bunch of macs and everyone would play them on those rainy days. I also remember an NES port of Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego and it was published by Konami. This brings back some memories.

I had the NES version. I still have the encyclopedia and used it a lot as a kid to read about history.

First time in my life I want to play this type of game. Well done Clint.

I remember my dad borrowing the original Carmen Sandiego from a friend for our Tandy 1000. I remember playing the crap out of it and constantly reading through the manual with my parents to figure it out. Great memories.

I used to play this a lot. Well, I used to play the first case over and over, since we had lost the book forever ago so I could never get a warrant.

Rockapella's original Carmen Sandiego intro is so ingrained in my childhood memories that I will occasionally start singing it at random times completely unprompted.

Hi! I Finished this game on 27-03-2020, Amiga version. Liked it, although it gets repetitive after some time. It took me 57 cases to catch Carmen. Thanks for another great video!

I watched the show and played the '97 version. Really cool to see the 80s one! Fun note, the 97 CD ROM would play the theme song in a CD player.

I LOVED CARMEN SANDIEGO! The 97 remake was favourite one though. Great content as always Clint 👌🏼

Experiencing major flashbacks from that TV theme. Thanks for that!

i have two bmw 325i e30s and the one you showed the picture of is the exact same spec as my convertible, tripped me out for a second as i thought it was a photo of mine!

I live in North Dakota. She wouldn't be able to hide here. You can stand on a tuna can and see halfway across the state.

I remember playing the original Carman Sandiego game on a C64 back in the mid 80s when I was a kid. I half to track down the C64 version and refresh my memory on my RetroPi machine.

I would love if you would continue your coverage of Carmen Sandiego games. I played the remakes of USA and World as a kid and I've adored the world of Sandiego ever since.

This is nostalgic, before anyone I knew had a computer we got to play a lot of Where In Time at my old Primary school since it was educational. Much better than class. Clint you don't do retro game reviews or game retrospectives that often lately and I miss that, so thanks for this it was a good watch.

Such memories of being 4 years old playing this game, always fond to look back on @LGR If you've ever played Ecoquest or Pepper's Adventures in Time, they're both fun point-and-clicks by Sierra with an Edutainment flair with an Eco-message for the former and History for the latter. These were great fun in my early years! And of course any Super Solver game is wonderful! Gizmos and Gadgets was always my favorite, but I played them all growing up! Would love to see more of those if you ever get the chance

Very fond memories of playing this game on my old 8086 CGA screen. It's nice to see how good it looks in VGA/EGA!

“Educationally smooth jazz plays”

While I never encountered any of the Carmen Sandiego games as a child, I have fond memories of Bushbuck, a game with a fairly similar premise.

10:05 - All of the Doctor Who references in this video give some extra meaning to the concept of a blazing furnace next to the vault of records.

I was hoping this day would come. This was my familys favorite game growing up.

You've GOTTA review Where in North Dakota is Carmen Sandiego.

Remember getting to play one of these Carmen Sandiego games in the school computer labs back in the day.

I never had the opportunity to play any of the Carmen Sandiego games in color when they were still considered new-ish. We had an Apple II with a monochrome green monitor. I barely even knew games like Carmen Sandiego or Oregon Trail could be played in color till much later but still didn't feel like I missed much.

This was my first PC game, got it for Christmas of '89. It was the only software I had for our Tandy 1000 before we got a 486.

I want to see a LGR on Wishbone and the Amazing Odyssey. That old point and click was a favorite of my childhood and would go so well in your video lineup!

Been waiting for this from when I first found the LGR channel. Carmen Santiago is one of the best game series made for children. The new Netflix animated show while different is not half bad either.

I played this constantly as a kid! Fantastic game. (The point and click version)

I played the 1997 version, It came with my Radioshack Brand new Compaq Presario 5032. Still have all 3 of the CD-Roms.

Seeing those lab fails (and even that coffee machine and keeping the records next to the open furnace) really explains why you had to sign a waiver to even work there...

This game was great and never got boring as the cases where always something different to do, much more fun than just clicking answers or typing stuff in (comparing to other games of the time).

I used to watch 'Where in the World..' on PBS as a kid. Was a really fun show, especially considering it was educational. That theme song is burned in my brain for all time.

The "Where in Time" TV show was pretty much my only access to the Carmen Sandiego universe as a kid. I loved that show though. I'm pretty sure my local PBS aired it back to back with Wishbone.

Oh Man! Thanks for doing this. When I was a boy my family had "Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego" and actually the Encyclopedia that came with it helped me on more than one school report!

Unless someone covers the "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?" 90's PBS game show, my life will be forever incomplete!!

Good Lord I've nevr been so early to an LGR vid before, I feel this is an achievement 😅😂

i love the 1997 where in Time is Carmen! AKA Great Chase through Time I still go back and play it to this day. so many memorable and annoyingly difficult levels

Smooth moves, Sheriff. You've got the warrant!

One of my favorite series of games ever as a kid

Nice! My uncle had this game, with the encyclopedia and everything. It was the first Carmen Sandiego thing I ever saw. Years later I played Where in the World, and found it so much easier by comparison.

I played the 1997 version of this game, "Carmen Sandiego's Great Chase through Time," as a fourth grader almost 18 years ago. It was one of the most fun games I've ever played in my life, and I learned so much about world histories that were not covered in my school's curriculum, in particular East Asian history. I think they should reboot it, it's just a fun game in general that kids of all generations would enjoy

Wow! You hit me hard in the nostalgia feels there. I remember the show (not as good as Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego, but still fun).
