Where In Time Is Carmen Sandeigo for DOS (1989)
Posted on October 19, 2025
“Where in Time Is Carmen Sandiego?” for DOS dropped in 1989, right after the original “Where in the World” blew up, and it took the same detective-style gameplay but threw you into a time-traveling chase through history. You’re basically hunting Carmen and her V.I.L.E. crew across different eras, answering history questions to track them down before they slip away. The game got an updated Deluxe Edition in 1990 with sharper EGA graphics and more cases, and it was part of the wave that made educational games actually fun for kids who grew up on beige PCs and floppy disks. If you remember those chunky computer speakers firing off that epic little fanfare when you made an arrest, you get it—this was peak late-’80s edutainment.
