Topic: Carmen Sandiego

It's been like nine years since the last game, I really would like to see them come out with a new one. It would be great for Wiiware.

Agreed I loved Carmen Sandiago
Good idea

Problem is educational games won't sell anymore. Kids like participation, not thinking.

That Carmen Sandiego?

LOLZ

Well it just needs deeper plot, Something along the lines of the cartoon series would work. Yeah add that talking head guy and your educational quota should be filled. Look how well games like the Phoenix Wright visual novels been doing,

Yep. I still play it every now and then, but I don't think it would work on wiiware. Most kids nowadays frown upon educational games.[including me, but I think that Carmen Sandiego is more of a puzzle game.]

9 years? wow. i remember playing the original on PC...more than 20 years ago, you brought me back.

I still have the NES version. "Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego". Talk about an educational game. It came with a desk encyclopedia to use during the game. I do remember it being a lot of fun, will have to give it another try soon.

9yrs since the last game, didn't say anything about the first game

yeah. i just had no idea about sequels.

WiiWare is an obvious fit for a Carmen Sandiego revival/continuation. I'm a huge fan, personally. Loved Time and ThinkQuick Challenge.

I loved Carmen Sandiego when I was a kid, I had the games, I watched the show, awesome theme song. But I just recently tried to play Where In The U.S.A. Is Carmen Sandiego, and I must say it wasn't quite as fun as I remember when i was a kid.

I had the Learning Company remakes. They were awesome.

I remember playing the games back in elementary school back on a computer with a DOS operating system. I also had the one for the NES that came with the encyclopedia. I also remember that I was the first kid in my sixth grade class to capture Carmen Sandiego everyone skipped recess that day to watch me get her lol.

I also remember both tv shows the cartoon that was on FOX and the PBS gameshow one.

And I agree a Wiiware Carmen Sandiego would be awesome it would be one of the few Wiiware games I own.

I wish I could find TLC remakes on YouTube, except that nobody has them.

Carmen Sandiego is great. I still feel it could be revived with even more added to it.

If you guys want a new Carmen Sandiego-esque experience more in line with the traditional clue-following, I'd recommend Disney Guilty Party, which felt like Carmen Sandiego or Guess Who with mini-games. Lots of fun.

Hey, does anyone know what to do about the game text not being visible in the Windows 95/98 version of "Where in USA is CS" in Windows XP even though it worked before I had to reinstall Windows? Yes, I've tried reinstalling the game and setting compatability to Windows 95.
