Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego? For Macintosh CARMEN Sandiego and her international band of V.I.L.E. thieves are at it again! This time, they plan to loot the most famous treasures of the past 1,500 years through the latest time machine.
With the latest development in portable time travel devices - the Chronoskimmer 325i - players can electronically scan the crime scene for clues, translate conversations with witnesses and travel through 1,500 years and 48 locations to trap the suspects.
You first register as a Time Cadet in the Time Crimes Division of Acme Detective Agency. The thief is heading for a hideout in one of 48 locations in time and space. There are 16 possible suspects. To win the game and advance your career, you have to accomplish two tasks before your deadline.
The first one is to track the criminal's movements to his/her final destination. You will have to use the clues you find in each location to determine where the criminal is going next.
The second is to identify the criminal and get a warrant for his/her arrest. You can obtain clues to the criminal's identity by interviewing witnesses and informants.
Without a clear, quick mind, plenty of patience and some degree of reasoning power, you cannot go through to the next case too easily. As you complete cases you will receive promotions. You start as a Time Cadet, and as you move up the ranks you will become a Time Patroller, Time Investigator, Time Inspector, Time Detective, Ace Time Detective, and finally Super Time Sleuth.
Completing your course of duty as a Super Time Sleuth will allow you to be inducted into the Hall of Fame on the fifth floor where you can view the list of Hall of Famers.
