Game Overview

Broderbund released Where in the USA is Carmen Sandiego Enhanced in 1992 as part of their MS-DOS Classic Games lineup. It was one of those educational titles that felt more like a real game than homework, blending geography and detective work in a way that was pretty engaging for its time.

You play as an ACME agent tracking Carmen's henchmen across the country. The main goal is to follow clues about each suspect's appearance, habits, and location, then issue a warrant before they escape. You move screen by screen through cities, checking airports, landmarks, and databases; the pacing is deliberate, almost tense, as you cross-reference facts and hope you picked the right state. It feels like a race against the clock where one wrong guess can mean starting over.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
