The original version of Where in Time Is Carmen Sandiego? is an Edutainment Game released by Brøderbund Software in 1989. Unlike its 1997 remake, it follows the same strategy-based format as the earlier Carmen Sandiego games.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })As the title suggests, Carmen and her gang are now stealing from history, and you have to chase them through a series of different places and times. There are twelve countries you can visit across four time periods, giving you forty-eight possible destinations in total.From a World Building perspective, this is notable as the first game in the series to establish that ACME headquarters is in San Francisco. |

The Middle Ages: The earliest time period you can visit is the years 400-1300, which roughly corresponds to the Middle Ages. |

Copy Protection: As with other early Carmen games, it came with a book that you were expected to use as reference, but which also doubled as copy protection. In this case, it was a hefty paperback desk encyclopedia. |

comment |
It's a Small World After All: As usual. For example, clues about Leif Erikson are supposed to direct you to the U.S.A. in the years 400-1300, but when you actually go there, you end up in a Pueblo village in the Southwest. |

comment |
Casual Time Travel: Time travel is evidently commonplace enough that it's regulated by a "Federal Time Travel Commission." Moreover, the fact that Carmen and her thieves can travel in time doesn't seem to be regarded as noteworthy in-universe. |
