I am old enough to remember watching students chase Carmen on MECC / Broderbund 5 1/4 floppy disks in the classic globetrotting geographic trivia game. Coming soon are The Tutankhamun’s Mask and The Keys to the Kremlin capers. But this time you get the way-better-than-DOS ability to zoom in and explore the sites. Yup, you still fly around in chase, question local witnesses, and, of course, respond to questions about geography, history and culture as you gather intel about Carmen’s location. The Crown Jewels Caper is the first of a series of new Where on Google Earth is Carmen Sandiego? games being developed by Google Earth in partnership with Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This time Carmen Sandiego is sneaking around the world via Google Earth. Well, gumshoe, you are ready for your next assignment from the ACME detective agency.

Looking for a little old timey computer nostalgia with a dose of espionage and a taste of geographical flavor?
