Carmen Sandiego is locked up...you're welcome

About a month ago Internet Archive announced you could now play the original, DOS-based Oregon Trail game. It was a BFD. People freaked out. I tried it out, I died. Obviously, because everyone dies on the Oregon Trail. 
Frustrated by my inevitable fate I looked around to see what other old school games were available: Aladdin, Treasure Mountain (Anne W.), and Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego. 

Carmen Sandiego is hands down the best thing to come out of 1985. Not only did it have an amazing computer game 

but the TV show!? 

and the game show!?

So good. 

Well I'm happy to share that I beat that original DOS-based game!! Whoop!! I found Carmen Sandiego and I locked her up good. She won't trouble the world any longer. 

Before each of my promotions (Sleuth, Ace Detective, etc) I had to answer one question that referenced The World Almanac and Book of Facts. Since I didn't have that lying around from 1989 (updated version), I used my trusty friend Google. I also used Google to help with some of the clues...like, "He changed his money to drachmas"....well considering we live in the age of Euros and considering I wasn't the one paying on our European vacations, I needed help figuring out the country. It's Greece BTW. 

So, now my mission is complete. I can go back to reading during my free time. 

I miss these simplistic, EDUCATIONAL games. No thanks Call of Duty or Grand Theft Auto. Mario Kart is definitely educational by the way...that's how I learned to drive!
