Confess! You really did play those Carmen Sandiego games yourself!
And you just pretended to be getting them for your kids!

5. I played
but I was the target demographic.

I'll tell you what game was awesome. Oregon Trail. That game was the shiz-nit.

6. word on Oregon Trail
I spent many happy days in middle school computer class naming the characters after my friends and then laughing and pointing when they died of dysentery, all, 'Ha ha, April died of DIARRHEA!'

Good times.

8. Buffalo
Did you have a good time killing buffalo and other game only to learn that you could only carry 200 pounds back to the wagon?

9. I had the Oregon Trail too!
Compared to today's videogames, they sucked so bad graphically....but loved that game AND Carmen Sandiego.

10. BEST. GAME. EVER.
I would always go hunting and kill WAY more food than one family could ever eat (especially without refrigeration!)...like 3 buffalo, 2 deer, and about 1000 squirrels...
