''Carmen Sandiego'' is an EdutainmentGame series created by now-defunct Creator/BroderbundSoftware in 1985. The series became phenomenally successful in the [[TheNineties 1990s]], spawning no fewer than ''three'' television shows, two on Creator/{{PBS}} and one on Creator/{{Fox}}, then falling into obscurity shortly around the TurnOfTheMillennium before resurrecting around TheNewTens, starting on Website/{{Facebook}}. The series is now owned by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. There probably have been plenty of games released, and Carmen just ''stole them all''.

* FailedFutureForecast: The older games were made before the fall of Communism, making them pretty inaccurate now. There are also some non-Communism-related examples of Geography Marching On. It'd almost be impossible to count how many ''Carmen'' games show the World Trade Center towers in New York, but it's a lot (they're even in the opening credits of the ''Where on Earth'' cartoon). When the name of a currency is given as a clue, it will be inaccurate for any country which has since adopted the Euro. And so on. A geography game just can't stay accurate forever, you know.

* RightHandCat: In ''Junior Detective'' and the 1996 versions of ''World'' and ''U.S.A.'', Carmen has a pet cat named Carmine. Sadly, we never see Carmen stroke Carmine in the usual villainous fashion (although Carmine being a ginger cat against Carmen's red would create a terrible color clash).

Sadly, we never see Carmen stroke Carmine in the usual villainous fashion (although Carmine being a ginger cat against Carmen's red would create a terrible color clash). In those games, Carmine being seen was one of the signs that the player was on the right track, with ''World'' in particular having her at each case's final destination.


Added DiffLines:

** The 1996 version of ''U.S.A.'' has her lair hidden in Washington D.C., [[spoiler:all the better to steal the Declaration of Independence at the end of the final case]].
