As an ACME Detective Agency greenhorn in the pursuit of Carmen Sandiego, you employ your Chronoskimmer 450SL to travel through time in the search of the next clue that eventually results in the recovery of the stolen item, apprehension of the theif, and the eventual capture of Carmen herself.

Not much new in terms of the basic premise, all trivia questions relate to American History...obviously. The graphics are greatly improved over previous Carmen Sandiego games.

Who wants to solve 80 cases to be famous? by POMAH (29214)
The game is educational only for those, who already read much books on the american history, but game doesn't provide education for players. It is test only. Also when you've captured Carmen Sandiego after approximately 40 cases you don't finish the game, you must solve other 40 cases to be famous and enter the Hall of Fame. But the game is a very good addition to collection of Carmen SanDiego series.
