Google Earth launched, last Wednesday, a new version of the classic 90s game “Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?”
You can play the first chapter, “The Crown Jewels Caper“, now on Google Earth. O game splits your screen between a 90s interface and a Google Earth view, and you'll need to interview witnesses and use clues to go around the world.
Action created in collaboration with Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, the game is a tribute to the original, from 1985 – click here to check out the game in DOS. On a blog Google post, O publisher quote: “It's for all the detectives who grew up with the game, and for the next generation who will be able to count on the experience of traveling the world and hunting the character for the first time“. This is the first episode of more that will be added to the game.
Curiously, when the video game was released in 1985, it generated the incentive to create a complete franchise with a game show, books, TV series and even a musical. While Sandiego never completely dropped off the map, it appears the spy is experiencing a resurgence. In January, the Series launched a reboot from the animated series which tells the story of a Carmen more in the style of Robinhood, in addition to plans for a live-action soon. – Oh, and the second season is more than confirmed!
So get to work and let's go hunting for the spy! Access via Chrome, Android or iOS.
