Defunctland presents the history of Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego


Stay tuned for the Mayim Bialik and Jeremy Miller cameos. I didn't watch Blossom, but I did watch Growing Pains, so that was surreal.


Original WITWICS Theme
Where in Time Theme
Where on Earth Theme
Netflix Carmen Theme


I confess that I've never given Where on Earth a fair shake, I need to revisit it one of these days. I've only seen Season One of the Netflix series, and it's okay, but it's not "Carmen Sandiego". It takes more then a red trenchcoat and hat to be Carmen Sandiego.



The original Apple IIe game

The DOS game


Like so many games of the '80s, it was Apple IIe at school, DOS at home.


PushingUpRoses covers the Windows version


There's oftentimes a problem when you update DOS/Apple IIe games to Windows, and it's usually the unneeded fluff. Programmers showing off graphics and sound card capabilities without realizing how much it slows down the gameplay. I definitely ran into this problem with the Windows version of Oregon Trail: too slow!


I remember when Jennifer Lopez was going to play her in a movie. I'm not sure how that would've worked out.
