Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego: the chase begins

[@00juls00]

Ahh man. This was THE best game in the world! I learned invaluable information about history from this. Now I’m 26 with a degree in History from a UC, and I can’t thank the people who made games like this enough for sparking a love of history in young kids. We NEED this game back!! haha Why can’t they remake it as an app??? Ugh...I’d pay good money to replay this again.

[@malleyne2004]

me too

[@Circuitssmith]

I remember trying to repeatedly use the torch on the Sphinx, and the boatman telling me again and again "please don't torch the stonework!"

[@yolkthosenuts]

Lmfaoooo

[@TheInkPitOx]

I don't get it

[@Circuitssmith]

@@TheInkPitOx There’s not really a joke, it’s just a fond memory.

[@KingdomHeartsSage]

"We're on the case and we're chasing her through history! Where in time is Carmen San Diego?" I just got goose bumps hearing that opening jingle, This was the first game i ever played

[@eianrichardson7997]

Silver Paladin JAM! The world needs that in their music library, otherwise be subject to prosecution.

[@Mr_Gray_1995]

Me too, my first memorable game now that I think about it.

[@TheOliv1991]

Ohhh my God this game. I played it ALL the time as a kid :)

[@jamesgibson5818]

Me too

[@mysticalmermaid308]

Same here♥️

[@cyberjoel]

I only had the trial version. I played this one alot xD

[@Electricspaceodyssey]

R.I.P the Chief, They need to bring the carmen sandiego games to steam.

[@threepoint14159265]

Seriously, why haven't they uploaded those games to Steam? Those and the Oregon Trail games would sell like hotcakes on nostalgia alone.

[@Terf1988]

They probably don't work on modern computers.

[@Coin945]

Electricspaceodyssey HMH is the current owner of CS (it's a long story that involved the brand being sold to 4 different companies in the space of 4 years from 1998-2001)... They haven't done much with the brand since, but you could try contacting them about uploading the games to steam. They also have a licensing page on their website which has some very famous 90's brand just sitting there.

[@kendallbellors6102]

Agree

[@chaseofbase5292]

The rights are still owned by another company, when Broderbund went out of business, the rights to CS were bought by another.

[@Chief..]

This was one of my most cherished childhood games. New operating systems have made the hardware I need for this obsolete and no linger covered even though I've still saved the CD-ROM all this time out of nostalgia/love. Thanks for the upload! It brought back so much!

[@ILovHelloKitty13]

TheActingFox Me too. I still have it.

[@jamessparkman6604]

Do you know I think you should write a letter to the government about a De obsoletion program

[@jamessparkman6604]

Do you know de obsoletion it’s a term that applies to technology it’s a process suddenly got reversed

[@abdizur8765]

God I miss the Carmen Sandiego games. Oddly enough I still remember everything this game taught me like almost 25 years later.

[@broadwaymike92]

RIP Lynn Thigpen (aka The Chief). Always be our Chief.

[@cance7984]

+Michael I. Haber Agreed. It's still saddening that she's no longer with us. There will never be another one like her.

[@EntertainmentFan11]

Michael I. Haber She also performed Luna the moon in Bear in the Big Blue House.

[@TheSupremeXNERD]

Good old days on Windows 98. If only kids have games like this these days. Instead of being 8 years old and playing CoD. This and Oregon Trail was my shit along with Hoyle Board Games. I'm 25 and I would love to play these again.

[@shelby8101]

Omg Hoyle board games was so fun lol

[@sims2lovealot]

This was actually the BEST GAME!! I played it so often as a kid and to this day I still remember heaps of the invaluable history knowledge I learnt! The Japanese one was my favourite!

[@romanking3547]

THE VOICE ACTING WAS GREAT

[@lexabuzz]

This is so therapeutic to my inner child and helps me revisit those childhood memories that I truly value. Thank you for taking the time to post!

[@sophiepeters_lifestylebusi3609]

The best game EVER - I learned so much from this and still know facts from it today! Definitely where my love of History was born. I would love to play this version again now and share it with my children

[@silverpslm]

Me: Okay Mr. Egyptian. Don't freak out, but I'm from the FUTURE!!!! Egyptian: Welcome Stranger Me: Oh okay.

[@arober9758]

Excellent greatly stoked job fellows!! Very nice work. R.I.P the Chief, They need to bring the Carmen Sandiego games to steam.

[@sapphira31]

Ann Tickwittee was always my favorite good guide, especially this and the Mansa Musa one. This comment section makes me so happy ("Please don't torch the stonework) XD

[@Ned88Man]

wow, memories come flooding back, It's like it was yesterday.

[@The_Spectre_Gamer]

Holy shit, the nostalgia. Aahhh, memories.

[@barfsworld]

This was hands down my favorite game

[@Malkmusianful]

one of the first point-and-click - no, THE FIRST point-and-click - adventure game I've ever played. I've been in love with the genre ever since.

[@wickedfeylady]

This was my shit back in the day!!! My bff and I were obsessed with this back in second grade, swapping strategies all the time! Thanks for putting this up. This was one of my fave cases, Ann was my favorite guide.

[@MarkDavidKnight]

I just love how we seemingly keep a burning torch in our pockets

[@radude4763]

I remember spending hours fixing the pipes in the Roman baths

[@ricardocantoral7672]

Ugh, same here ! 😞

[@avalasialove]

Same! I eventually got it after much trial and error.

[@loden5677]

Hahaha same omg that puzzle was took ages

[@Efactor87]

Ann Tickwittee. The things I didn't understand when I played this game. Makes me want to play again.

[@wiimania9]

Poor Lynne Thigpen. No person can replace her as the chief.

[@lnfk]

this was my whole history class when I was home schooled. LOL

[@loden5677]

This game was so awesome. Find memories playing this as a kid in my late fathers workshop!!!

[@munchi228]

I LOVED this game, it taught me so much! it was so cool at the time , so advanced.

[@ATK1734]

You know what we need? We need another Carmen Sandiego project, whether its a cheesy game show, an awesome new cartoon or a game, kids nowadays need her! Think about it: she is a sly, clever character, she ALWAYS brought academic/educational stuff to the plate and we had fun learning! I understand that there are shows dedicated to children learning but come on: it's been 20 years since the last cartoon and 14 years since the last game, bring back the woman in red!

[@KNOTTYBUDS]

I have very fond, yet very distant memories of this game.

[@jraymond1988]

Just in case anyone is wondering, it is pretty easy to play this game again. I downloaded it from an old game site for like $7 (and I also got Backyard Baseball, Dust: Tale of the Wired West, their Titanic sequel, Carmen San Diego Word Detective, Pepper's Great Adventure Through Time and something else. Welllllll worth it. Heck I think I'm going to play it again now.

[@HAFanForever]

Hello there. Last night, I managed to find a way to play this game again and made a walkthrough of it, with a commentary. If you want to see it, I'd love to hear your feedback on the videos, especially because traction for it has been slow and I purchased comments for most of the videos (though I'm thinking about deleting some of them now).

[@mangageekdom]

This game was a delight to play! So many good memories :)

[@Zonex123]

one of the best games i played as a kid. over and over. i had the other 2 cd-s as well

[@ricemenarq6230]

*This game = Still a better dialogue system than Fallout 4.*

[@lexabuzz]

I was literally just thinking earlier how it was similar to 3 and new Vegas dialogue system. 😂

[@threatlevel_TACO]

This song 0:15 randomly pop into my head and I always come back to this video to listen.

[@HAFanForever]

This was definitely one of my favorite games as a kid, and I learned a lot of small historical facts from it. I feel sad that I can't play it anymore since computer systems have updated and it's no longer easy to install it or the other Carmen Sandiego games. But I'm happy that you have uploaded all the cases to watch, since it brings back the memories I had playing it so many times as a kid.

[@jaylenhioe2868]

This was one of my favorite childhood games. I wish I could play it again.

[@EK-dt4cp]

Ahhh, I loved this game, along with the “Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego” computer game. I wish I could find a way to play these games from my childhood.

[@pbscraze]

It's so cool how Lynne was in the game!

[@mariselytorres8039]

Thank you for uploading my childhood. Now if I can find a gameplay of that Amazonian history game I played aside this one.

[@sarinat3101]

This and Descent were my childhood.

[@adamhollister3434]

Anyone else get equally nostalgic for the Windows 95 desktop at the very start? lol

[@loden5677]

Absolutely lol. Or old MacOS

[@4everlivin99]

Me

[@dbomb8675309]

My grandparents bought me this game when I was in Elementary school! I played it allllllll the time. When you're playing it, you're not realizing that you're learning so much! Not until these subjects come up in school and you realize you know more than you think! I definitely need to run an old XP machine and have my kids play it!

[@CaptainBones]

This game looks so great. RIP Lynne Thigpen.

[@malkiamelanin7313]

When they talked with their hands 😂😂 oh how i miss it ..

[@nataliekelber5123]

I played all the time! I learned a lot about history before I even learned it in school :)

[@jraymond1988]

I love walkthroughs (without commentary) so much better than let's plays (with commentary) Thank you very much.

[@GabrielaBlanco]

I love you so muh for uploading these, I used to play this game all day as a kid - I still remembered what I learned from it. Thank you!!! 👠

[@TwitchyMovies]

Aw fuck yeah dude this game was the shit when I was a kid!

[@TrekkerLLAP]

This is such a good game. I miss it so much. I just can't get it to work on Windows 7, no matter what I try. :(

[@LimeyBoy0]

+TrekkerLLAP tried an emulator?

[@TrekkerLLAP]

***** Do you mean the emulators that require you to install an operating system yourself? If there's an emulator that will run this that isn't like that, I'm all for it

[@LimeyBoy0]

There might be one out there, I remember there being a website where a lot of DOS and post DOS games where converted to a browser friendly game. Other than that, an emulator that runs a previous version of windows within your regular windows might be the only choice.

[@TrekkerLLAP]

***** Okay. Thanks for your help

[@anthonybryant3016]

For anyone wondering how to play this game: Just download Dosbox emulator and find an rom for it. (You're welcome)

[@jadorechocolat1]

could you please explain in more detail? I don't know much about emulators and would LOVE to play this again.

[@andrewkozintsev6823]

That's the problem, I can't find a rom for it. All I can find is it's predecessor for the SNES.

[@chandellebody6278]

They sell the old games on Amazon. Just not for current versions of Windows or Mac

[@CigarsNRoses]

Where in time??? Me! Playing this game almost non-stop when it came out!! 33 now and this makes me feel olllllldddd!

[@DeFrostedKiwi]

OMFG the nostalgia!

[@TheCombatWombat0]

OMG!!! I remember playing this game!! I LOVED it! Ahhhhh the nostalgia 😊

[@GatameOne]

I remenber me and my sister playing when we were kids. Good times.

[@sunshine2346ify]

I just wish I could play this again

[@readein]

I remember this game being in a giant cd case my grandfather had. I played this so much

[@ladiiellii]

This game was my childhood. I always loved Carmen, even though she was the supervillian. Also, the music is truely iconic.

[@ashleyalston4433]

I played this CONSTANTLY as a kid soooo nostalgic

[@LadyVader33]

Thanks for uploading! Brings back soooooo many memories. I would've HATED school if it weren't for this game :)

[@arestarzi]

This game was my childhood. Been trying to find somewhere legit I can play it online but everywhere I look it's the NES version :(

[@ladywinterlive5301]

I was born in '96 and had never heard of Carmen Sandiego until Netflix released its newest modern trailer for the '90s series

[@eddiecongdon8017]

This was my first ever video game when I was 5. Can't believe i found this

[@jraymond1988]

Thank you very much for the uploads. These videos meant a lot to me as a kid. ;)

[@bridgetekeberg]

Ahh this game I used to have it I miss it so much

[@stefanolsson2707]

I still have this game.

[@CoreyHectus]

Awesome game! I remember getting stuck on the Inca part when I was little

[@singbike5832]

"Certainly, but you must assist me." He can't bend over and pick up a bag?!

[@ElementRewind]

This game taught me soo much! I literally knew a bit of world history before I even took world history! :)

[@Authorsuzannemeadows]

I want to play this again SO BAD

[@4everlivin99]

Me too

[@davidpucio1647]

I remember playing the quiz game with friends all the time when i was little

[@scropionsting11]

I used to love this game! I beat it so many times

[@dasty3314]

i used to watch my older brother play this on the computer but my mom wouldn’t let us play with the volume on because the computer was too close to the living room... we would try to turn it up just slightly and hold our ears to it because we couldn’t read well enough to know what to do, so uh we didn’t get very far in the game because we would get yelled at lmao

[@dmravi13]

My childhood right there

[@emilypiccinin7804]

this is literally the best thing. need to bring this game back

[@court4486]

Stop i need this remastered immediately

[@brandongalvan6603]

Yup. Time for a nostalgia run.

[@OECexpress]

Can someone explain to me how I can play this online for free.. download or whatever... yes I'm 23 and I want to play this game.

[@The_Spectre_Gamer]

+Houston Brock same

[@kaze4159]

Gameplay of a nostalgic game? Without an annoying person commentating? You are the reason youtube is still great

[@Jenbenten]

I miss this game my whole childhood

[@iamabananaman]

.."so do the world a favour, and SET THINGS STRAIGHT!".. always got chills, this game ROCKS! anyone know where I can download this/buy it, and make it work for my pc? even if it's vista...

[@HudsonLiam]

i used to love this game when i was younger, it was so awesome :D

[@brendanhoffmann8402]

What the heck! They remade this game years after I played it. I played the Mac version in the early 90s

[@PanzerRatten]

AGH I NOSTALGIA'D SO HARD. MUST FIND DOWNLOAD

[@austinchaney9551]

Game info: When Carmen Sandiego and her henchmen break into Acme Headquarters and steals the acme chronoskimmer that allows any agent to travel back through time, A boy named Danny must become a temporary acme time pilot and join forces with the Acme Agents to Capture All the Vile Agents and restore all of time.

[@jraymond1988]

@avikalban Even better, the videos are MUCH better without any talking. I really appreciate your walkthrough, I haven't played this game and lost it a long time ago.

[@sveltee22]

Omg! This was my fav game about 12 years ago...wish I kuld play it rite now

[@Katiew1011]

thank you ive been looking for this for a long time

[@marvelnerd201]

Im only 13 but I grew up with this game

[@karijanosick5930]

I loved this game but never had the time to win, I got bored during one and couldn't figure out another...good times though.

[@markraymond101]

I love the Carmen games, but the one thing I didn’t like about Time and Math was that there wasn’t a way you could lose. I definitely love the games and learned a lot, but USA and World, you had a juice clock, and they required more effort. If you arrested the wrong one, you had to accept the penalty. Just made them more challenging.

[@shiichan32]

the beethoven lvl i always got stuck at and i think the shakespeare one as well

[@adamhollister3434]

Classic game with the classic sound glitches that seemed to come up no matter what you did lol

[@courtney8789]

Thank You so much for posting

[@tesportugal2136]

The nostalgia!!! I love this game.. 2nd to the bear and the big blue house..🤣🤣 I’ m still a child by heart🤣🤣 i hope they can have this in app store 🤣🤣

[@threepoint14159265]

Does anybody know what the soundtrack to this game is? What music did they use? I've been dying to know for years!

[@SonOfOsiris3]

Thank You SOOO much for the uploads. I want to play this game again so badly but it doesn't run on 7 ='(.

[@TheNixon333]

I always thought you played AS Carmen Sandiego. I was a dumb kid.

[@manramen]

When the gameshow only had 2 "seasons" i was happy to get this game. Can't get it to run though and I think its too "new" to run on dosbox (could be wrong). Good thing SOMEONE put this gameplay online with good volume so I can enjoy it like it's a tv show :D Lord knows the time travel episodes of Where On Earth is Carmen Sandiego were a bit too "dark" in tone. RIP Chief.

[@mpsSalvadorian]

1997, about 21 years ago. Wow im old af.
