Where in the World is Deirdra Kiai?

June 12th, 2006

This weekend, I downloaded and played Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?, a classic edutainment game from my childhood. To this day, I still find it way more fun than 99.7% of all the newer edutainment games. I mean, who cares if it refers to Beijing as Peking and to the Soviet Union still existing? You’ll never find any other game where people can steal Hudson Bay and the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.

Now, all I need to do is find episodes of the TV show and I’ll be completely satisfied.

In other news,[1] I met Michael Land at a party this weekend.

    I loved that show when I was a kid too! :) I always wanted to play the game as well, but it was impossible to find. Thanks for the reminder, it’s time for a bit of nostalgia :)

    In other comments: Did you… thouch Michael Land?

    And I mean *touch*, of course. Thouch would just be gross.

    “And in other news, officer Sam Dooley became the latest paralyses victim, when he was discovered earlier today at Rick’s China House…”

    (I applied to say that line, but wasn’t good enough. I still remember the first sentence of it, but not the rest. I’d have to look that up.)

    (Anyone who doesn’t know where that line comes from, has not played enough free adventure games.)

    No, I didn’t touch Michael Land. I’m sure he would’ve freaked out if I turned all “ZOMG IT’S MICHAEL LAND *pokepokepoke*” and stuff.

    Yes, that would be freaky.

    How far are you in WITWICS?

    I’m a Private Eye. Just a couple more cases until I get to Investigator, though…
