Google Earth Drops 90s Classic ‘Carmen Sandiego’ Game [Video]

If you're around the age of 30, you probably remember an M-Net show based on Carmen Sandiego's exploits. Now Google Earth is getting in on the fun.

If you’re around the age of 30, you probably remember a show called Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?

It used to air on M-Net, as part of the KTV line-up, and featured a thieving villain who tried her best to steal treasures from around the world.

Basically, it was part entertainment and part geography lesson, and was actually based off a mid-90’s computer game of the same name.

For those who are keen to relive their childhoods, Google Earth dropped a new version of the game earlier today, according to Fortune:

Keen to get stuck in, as this day grinds ever so slowly towards a halt? Here’s the link – just wait for it to power up and you’re good to go.
