Manual
Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
In this educational detective game, players step into the shoes of a rookie investigator at the Acme Detective Agency tasked with stopping the notorious thief Carmen Sandiego and her syndicate, V.I.L.E. To crack the case, players must travel to various international destinations, gather clues, and track down the stolen treasures. By deciphering geographical and cultural hints, players must identify the suspects and issue warrants to arrest the criminals before they escape.
Story
The Chase Is On
You stumble out of bed, turn on the light and grab your brand new detective's notebook.
"Just got a call from Interpol," says the chief. "Looks like Carmen's gang has pulled another caper."
"Any leads?" you ask.
"Not with this bunch. They're too slick. Can't give you any more details on the phone. Better get down to the office double quick. It's going to be a rough one."
"Right chief."
As your trembling hand replaces the phone on the cradle, you wonder why you ever got into this line of work. Before this morning, Carmen Sandiego and her Villians' International League of Evil (V.I.L.E.) were just sensational headlines in the newspaper.
For more than five years, Carmen and her gang of felons had managed to stockpile the world's most valuable treasures while outwitting every so-called crime expert from New York to Sydney. Now they've struck again. And you, the newest employee of the Acme Detective Agency, have been given the near-impossible assignment of tracking them down.
