Broderbund's Carmen Sandiego Junior Detective Edition software is an exciting, fun-filled animated journey around the world aimed at 5 to 8 year olds. Clever animation combined with vivid photography makes Carmen Sandiego Junior Detective Edition great entertainment for kids as young as 4 years old. Meet Zack, Ivy and theChief as kids play along for hours. Easy to navigate, clues are given in pictures and spoken dialogue with lots of help from the ACME Detective Agency. Ever want to send your kids to Saudi Arabia? It's only a mouse click away when they play Carmen Sandiego Junior Detective Edition. Kids stumble on some pretty amazing facts about different countries as they search for Carmen and her wacky gang.
Kids start their worldwide chase by signing in on the GizmoTapper, a sophisticated yet wacky crime stopping gadget. Of course, the ACME Detective Agency provides our young detectives with built-in help with Dee Jaye, the voice of the Gizmo Tapper. There's an option to turn off the automatic help, although children can get help at any time during a case by clicking on Dee Jaye's Call Button.
Each case concentrates on one region of the world so kids can discover different countries and world cultures. After the Chief greets his new agents, kids click on a flashing Map Buttonto continue. A Map Screen rolls down to show them a world map, while it automatically zooms in to the country where the crime took place. Kids piece together a Wanted Poster puzzle to identify which crook they are chasing.
It's important to search every inch of the screen when kids move a virtual magnifying glass across the screen looking for clues. The magnifying glass lights up and hums when kids zero in on a clue. Then, it's off to the Travel Map where kids match the clues found at the last location with the pictures they see next to the countries on themap.
Pre-readers and readers will practice their memory skills by collecting clues and paying attention to country flags, animals and local products. The object of the game is to catch the villains before the Gizmo Tapper runs out of juice. Good versus bad is the prevailing theme in this software. Although silly sayings such as "Let's bustsome bad guys" are common, kids are too busy collecting clues to pay much attention (and repeat) to them. As kids capture members of Carmen's gang, they'll be promoted through a series of eight ranks from Rookie to SuperSleuth. Promotions are great fun for the kids as they are commended for a job well done. Catching Carmen is the ultimate honor for any agent, of course.
Playing Carmen Sandiego JuniorDetective Edition is one way to prepare for Broderbund's Where in theWorld is Carmen Sandiego? CD-ROM, which is aimed at kids 9 and older. It's also an awesome way for kids to see the world without a passport as they develop memory and matching skills, gain familiarity with maps and symbols and learn to piece together clues to solve a mystery.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
