That's from that ebay auction right? I wonder why TTI never brought the game to the US, since it's in english basically

A very common question over the past twenty years.

Unless TTi paid ROCKAPELLA (sp?) for their cosmos-shattering theme song from the WitWiCS? game show...I'm thinking that edutainment titles sold poorly on consoles.

I played the Carmen Sandiego games on computers, though. I think all grammar schools were required to buy hundreds of copies of each game in the series.

I had a copy on my Apple II. Came with the latest World Almanac, that I had to use to look up all the answers. I played that game so much...

When you are young, you'll play whatever, though I confess the game design was actually pretty good.

Oh, I was a big fan of it too, back in the classroom. Begged mom and dad for the NES one for Christmas one year. Then I learned to be VERY careful what I beg for in the future.

I hate Sauerkraut.

You should have made a left turn at Albuquerque.
