by 1991, brøderbund had released five successful carmen sandiego games: "world" (1985), "usa" (1985), "europe" (1988), "time" (1989), and "america's past" (1991). this year marked the franchise's debut into television with the pbs game show "where in the world is carmen sandiego?" hosted by greg lee, starring lynne thigpen as the chief, and featuring the a cappella band rockapella. this series ultimately lasted for five seasons, winning six daytime emmy awards throughout its run. after cancellation "world" was followed by a less successful spin-off entitled "where in time is carmen sandiego?" which ran from 1996 to 1997, winning one daytime emmy award. during the run of the "world" game show, brøderbund had released "space" and "" (based on the animated tv series), and planned on rebooting their most popular titles for a new generation; this resulted in the release of "where in the u.s.a. is carmen sandiego?" (1996), "where in the world is carmen sandiego?" (1996), and "time" (1997). while "usa "and" world" became inspired by the "world" game show, many elements of the "time "game show became incorporated into "time", including the theme song (performed by its vocal group the engine crew), the names of many of its villains, and the acme timenet headquarters (a parody of "world"'s acme crimenet). in each of these three titles, thigpen assigned cases to the player through live-action video clips in her reprised role as chief. throughout "time"s two seasons, these video games were often given to players as prizes for winning. "clear ink" won the contract to create a website for "carmen sandiego", which was released in line with the shipping of "time" and "word." kenneth goldstein, who joined brøderbund in 1992 to "strengthen" the "carmen sandiego" series, was executive producer for the game. the game "supports the national curriculum".
carmen sandiego's great chase through time
the six "carmen sandiego" games produced from 1996 through 1999 ("where in the world is carmen sandiego?", "where in the u.s.a. is carmen sandiego?", "where in time is carmen sandiego?" ("carmen sandiego's great chase through time"), "carmen sandiego word detective", "carmen sandiego math detective" and "carmen sandiego's thinkquick challenge") seem to form a loose canon as they feature some of the same characters. however, characters as well as some other elements often appear differently between the games due to the use of different animation styles. it is only in "word detective" and "math detective" that substantial information about carmen is given. in this universe, carmen's partner when she was at acme was chase devineaux and one of the last cases they worked on together involved the mythical "prometheus rock." although chase and carmen apprehended the thieves responsible for stealing it, the rock itself was not found. when carmen left acme, chase was forced to leave acme as well since he had worked so closely with her. however, chase began working with acme again to stop carmen's plan to steal language with the babbel-on machine, as depicted in "carmen sandiego word detective". in "carmen sandiego math detective", the whereabouts of the prometheus rock became all too clear when carmen tried to use it to make herself all-powerful, although her plans were thwarted by agent 9 (the player) and chase. as of "carmen sandiego's thinkquick challenge", chase is again working for acme.
