And the biggest question is...

... where in the USA is Carmen Sandiego?
Lol I know, this is a game for preteens, but not being a US citizen nor English being my first language, some of the hints are very difficult. Thanks to Wiki it is easy to "cheat" these days :) But cheating by learning something for a game that was designed for education can hardly be called cheating, right?
Ya I recently looked for some old DOS games and stumbled across "Oregon Trail" and these "Carmen Sandiego" games. Looks like they were pretty popular in the US. I don't know... somehow I grew fond on educational games targeting the US.
Did you play the mentioned games back then? Others that you like to think back to?
Btw, let me know if you were hit by the retro gaming wave after reading this ^^

Got some fond memories of afternoons of me and a cousin with a huge, 8-books encyclopedia trying to make sense out of the clues.
There was also this locally made first-person adventure game, like Myst, Urânio 235, that taught you about basic chemistry and physics. Building your own water purification station so you could make soap foam to lubricate some joints, basic procedures to work with radioactive materials, etc.
Cookies for whoever gets the reference.
Also, possibly a precursor to rogue-likes .
