Where in Time Is Carmen Sandiego? is a 1996 educational video game for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System featuring the iconic thief Carmen Sandiego. Players must track her through time and various locations, gathering clues by interrogating witnesses and exploring environments. The game incorporates The New America Desk Encyclopedia, serving both as a resource for players and a copy protection measure.
Carmen Sandiego and her gang are loose once again, and it is the players job to capture her! This time around the player not only has to find where she is, but also when she is. Traveling to various locations, they need to assemble clues by questioning witnesses and searching locations to close in and capture Carmen Sandiego. Included with the game is The New America Desk Encyclopedia to help make clues more meaningful (and act as a form of copy protection!).
