> We had just bought an emulator to teach them to play Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? They loved it, but wanted to quickly look up clues --- quick, he drove off in a car with a blue and yellow flag! And which country uses pesos?
The original versions of the games literally shipped with a copy of the World Almanac: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_World_Almanac https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_World_Almanac.
Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if the whole point of the game was to teach kids how to use that reference work.
- elbasti 2y agoThe world almanac that shipped with Carmen Sandiego was also used to prevent piracy. There were some parts of the game that would only allow you to proceed by answering a question that required possession of the physical book.
