This is based on Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego but more based on the series and featuring the theme song and videos from the Chief. The new game interface is almost entirely graphic, more like an adventure game. Carmen Sandiego and her gang of time crooks have stolen ACME's only Chronoskimmer, and she's using it to go back in time and pilfer goods from history. Luckily, the time portals remain open once she has used them. But, it's up to you to track her down and return the items she has stolen so that history can go on as it should. Players must solve 19 mysteries, starting in Ancient Egypt and leading slowly up to the present day. Along the way, they will meet such historical personages as Queen Hatshepsut of Egypt, Thomas Edison, William Shakespeare, even Elizabeth I, Queen of England. They will also learn a bit about each time, place and culture they visit. As players arrive in each new era, they are accompanied by a Good Guide. This person can help the players on their explorations and provides an explanation of where they are and what is happening at that point in time. They also carry another section of the chronopedia, a guide to times and places in history. The chronopedia, besides giving the history facts associated with the time period players are in, can also help with the quests players are trying to solve in that time period. In addition to tracking down the thief at each location, players must find all three parts of Carmen's note that the thief dropped. When players have gained all three pieces, they can nab the crook and head for home. After you nab all the lesser crooks (twice), you get to go after Carmen Sandiego herself. | ||
