Ever wanted to experience the tombs of Egypt or Viking life in pre-North American Vinland? In Carmen Sandiego's Great Chase Through Time, the famous female anti-hero has sent agents to alter the past--and it's up to you to set history straight. Your detective agency warps you back 3,000 years to stop the destruction of historic and scientific achievements. Players start by attempting to stabilize history, beginning in ancient Egypt. In the course of solving puzzles, riddles, and finding other clues, you'll attempt to discover the time-traveling thieves. Find notes from Carmen hidden in the Incan Empire, Japan, or with Thomas Edison. Through these adventures, players can strengthen their science and history knowledge, as well as vocabulary, logic, chronology, and research skills. Sidekicks include Acme's hilarious helpers, ready to assist at every moment. These guides provide many answers and suggestions, and--should you still get stuck--the Acme Chronopedia is full of useful information, from historic events and achievements to cultural beliefs and personalities. Carmen Sandiego's Great Chase Through Time is as entertaining as it is instructive--fulfilling the positive concept of "edutainment." With cartoon-style graphics and sound bytes, humorous characters and challenging quests, you will enjoy hours (if not days) of enlightening, educational fun --Madeleine Miller

This game is so much fun!!! I wouldn't trade it for anything. Some cases are finding the Book of the Dead in ancient Egypt so Queen Hatshepsut may bury her husband properly. Another one involves going to the 60's and fixing the launch problems of the original Sputnik space shuttle. There are so many fun parts of this game, it's hard to stop playing!! It also teaches a little trivia about Roman architecture, the Norse gods, and countless other things. IF YOU HAVE NOT PLAYED THIS GAME YOU HAVE NOT LIVED!!!
