Let's talk about Carmen Sandiego

I still have Word Detective, I got it free with a box of cereal.

ayo! XD

That cereal box story reminds me of when Genral Mills (years ago) released a few CD-ROMs of popular board games from Hasbro in boxes of cereal.

My favorites from those disks were Operation, Chutes and Ladders, and Monopoly Jr.

playing it in school at like 3-4th grade, and just trying to solve as many cases as possible, while some kids were also impressed i even knew how to get to it without help.

Reading that reminded me of the College Humor parody.

I remember playing Carmen Sandiego when I was a kid, using an old school encyclopedia just to be able to look at the flags of the countries (no Internet back then) and loving every minute of it. To this day I'm good with capitals and flags just because of this game. I would love a good remaster and not the type of shit Gameloft is releasing.
