Title: Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego
Post by: Bernie on 06/13/2012, 07:14 AM
Looking to get this game, this week.  I have read somewhere, tho I cannot remember where, that the game is either in English or has an English option.  Can anyone verify this?  I don't want to waste the funds, if I cannot actually play it.  :shock:

Edit:  Never mind.  I was showed a link in chat.

This is actually where I read about it before, just couldn't remember.  :D

I haven't played that game, since I was in the first grade. We did it on the Macintosh, and later the 95 machines. I allways wondered, this. It seems the game might be almost the same.

I miss that series.

I have both the PCE and SMS versions. IMO the SMS version is better. The PCE version has sweet music, but you never hear more than four seconds of it unless you stop playing because the tiny System Card 2.0 RAM ditches the soundtrack as soon as it has to load anything. The PCE version is faithful to the computer game and being about to save and resume games is nice, but I prefer the "action" gameplay of the SMS version. As cheesy as it is, but a little running and jumping really helps translate a rather dry computer game into something playable in the living room.

BTW, PCE Carmen may be similar to Shape Shifter in that neighboring save files have been reported MIA! Use a Tennokoe Bank.
