Where in Space is Carmen Sandiego? is an educational game made by Broderbrund Software in 1993, in which the player must chase Carmen Sandiego and her alien henchmen throughout the planets and moons of the Milky Way. It runs on DOS. An empty box that presumably once held the deluxe version of the game now sits in the Sim Office.

History

This game was one of the station activities for small children during EEPs and Summer Camp for at least some of the time during which these programs existed. Where in Space is Carmen Sandiego? was also a station for mini-missions during the 90s. On Sept. 22, 2008, Ian Martin donated a copy to Spacesim. It is NOT an exception to the Sim Office rule of "No video games without Commander permission".
