 DOESN'T WORK ON MODERN MAC's February 1, 2009

This product is incompatible with the current Intel based Macintosh systems / Mac OSX Leopard. A complete waste of money - the product description should have specified what Mac OS versions its compatible with.
Your CD cover image is incorrect! July 12, 2008

I bought this product under the pretense it was the Carmen Sandiego game from 1996, simply based on the description and jewel case cover photo. I was sent a copy of the game made in 2001.
The updated version is a perfectly workable game. I just wanted the one I played back in middle school!
 Windows XP Instructions February 29, 2008

First uninstall the game (if it's installed) then proceed.
- Click Start
- Click My Computer
- Right-click on your CD drive icon
- Click Search
- Type *.exe
- Press Enter then wait for the search to complete
About 18 files should have been found.
For each of those files, perform the following six steps:
1. Right click on the file
2. Click Properties
3. Click on the Compatibility tab
4. Check the box next to "Run this program in compatibility mode for:"
5. Choose Windows 95 from the drop-down list
6. Click OK
(Yes, you need to repeat those six steps for every file.)
That's it.
Now the game should install and work fine.
Be sure to install QuickTime when asked to during the installation process.
NOTE:
While playing the game, the video clips are likely to be of lower quality than they would be on an actual Windows 95 computer.
This is because your display is automatically switched to 256-color mode when the game starts, and Windows XP won't allow the video clips to play using 16-bit color while the game is running in 256-color mode.
Windows 95, however, does allow this.
If you discover a way to force XP to show the clips in 16-bit color, please post instructions.
 Where in the World is the old Carmen Sandiego Game? December 18, 2007

I prefer playing the old game that came out in the 80s/90s. This game was too cartoonish.
Game use as an Educational Tool September 16, 2007
Debbie Watlington (Mc Minnville, TN USA)
A classic game that has been updated with video portions. My fifth grader really enjoyed the game and has spent several enjoyable hours learning how to get around the world on his mission as a gumshoe. This game can be used educationally to teach about Geography and good information about various places around the globe.
