''Where in America's Past Is Carmen Sandiego?'' is an EdutainmentGame released by Creator/BroderbundSoftware in 1991.

The game, of course, has you chasing Carmen and her gang through different places and times in U.S. history. You can visit five regions of the U.S. across nine time periods, giving you forty-five possible destinations. These nine time periods consist of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries divided into 25-year increments plus the pre-1801 era.

!!This game provides examples of:

* DrosteImage: Setting the Chronoskimmer to the West in the 1976-2000 time period [[http://fycarmensandiego.tumblr.com/post/39278175880/a-rather-meta-location-image-from-where-in yields this location image]].
* ItsASmallWorldAfterAll: A usual for this series, but a particular outstanding example is that everything pre-1801 is lumped into one category. For example, to get you to go to the South before 1801, you might receive one clue that points towards {{UsefulNotes/Pocahontas}} and another clue that points towards the Southern theater of UsefulNotes/TheAmericanRevolution. These events are separated by some 150 years!
* DaChief: Notably, this is the first ''Carmen'' game in which the Chief is actually seen, portrayed here as a white-haired man.
* TimePolice: As in the earlier ''[[VideoGame/WhereInTimeIsCarmenSandiego1989 Where in Time]]'', your job is to stop Carmen and her V.I.L.E. villains from stealing items throughout history.
* TheWildWest: When you visit the Western states in the mid-19th century or earlier.
