LGR Edutainment - Where in Time Is Carmen Sandiego? (Patreon)

Greetings, all! It's the time of year for a bit of edutainment on LGR once again, kicking off with Where in Time Is Carmen Sandiego from 1989. The fifth main game in the franchise and one that shook up the formula to an enjoyable degree. Still holds up nicely. It spawned its own TV game show, too!

On the broader topic of edutainment though, I've made the decision to not cover only edutainment throughout the entire month this year. Partly due to lack of interest on my part, and more for lack of interest on everyone else's. Retro games coverage in general doesn't do too well in terms of 'engagement' (bleh) and educational software from the 80s and 90s does worse as worse as the years go on. However, I felt thoroughly compelled to cover this one after getting the life-size Carmen Sandiego standee the other week, hehe. She's standing right behind me as I type. Staring. Judging.

That being said, I hope you enjoy "Where in Time" here, as well as the other title I'm thinking of covering later in the month! Got a whole lotta other stuff in the pipeline as well, some of it being serious "holy grail" kinda stuff. I'm definitely staying busy throughout this crazy time, that much is true. Slowly growing more and more mentally unhinged after 4 weeks of self-isolation, but who isn't.

Wishing you the very best in your part of the world, stay safe out there!
