Did we evertrulyfind Carmen Sandiego ?

I recently found a box of oldcomputer gamesand was instantly met with all the childhood memories. Something about a ’90s PC game hits different — back when games were megabytes instead of gigabytes.

I compile a lean of my favorites I go for will take you back to the good ol' Clarence Day ! chequer out the YouTube walkthroughs tie in below for even more reminiscing .

1.The ClueFinders 3rd Grade Adventures: Mystery of Mathra

Not only were the puzzles fun, but the game had vibrant colors and a fun sidekick character that gave you hints. So good!

2.The Oregon Trail: 5th Edition

Choosing your supplies at the beginning was always my favorite part!

As you traveled in the game, a series of cutscenes followed Parker, Cassie, Jimmy, and Captain Jed, navigating their way to Oregon.

3.JumpStart 1st Grade

I’m impressed she had so many pennies to begin with.

Doesn’t that cafeteria food look appetizing?

11.Reader Rabbit Math Adventures(Ages 6-9)

Fun fact: The main villain was voiced by Charles Martinet (who you might recognize as the voice of Mario!)

12.Science Sleuths

Each case had various levels of difficulty, and it wasn’t easy, but it made you feel like a scientist.
