Usually programs that work on Win 98 will work on Win XP and Win 2000. Not this one. Just be aware of this.

4.0 out of 5 stars A learning adventure filled with excitement, April 2, 2002

By 

"ethlex" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Carmen Sandiego's Great Chase Through Time (Jewel Case) (CD-ROM)

Carmen has done it again, packing learning into an exciting adventure. Carmen has taken her villains back in time to steal priceless historical treasures.
The mission, travel to the past, solve any historical problems that Carmen's crew cause, and catch the villains.
The adventure will have you wrapping mummies in ancient Egypt, repairing pipes in Rome, traveling with Columbus and much more.
Recommended age level 9+ but we found it easy enough for a six year old with minimal help.
