Any of y'all old enough to remember these games? I installed the early 1994 edition "Where in the World" yesterday and am trying to work my way up to Super Sleuth. It brings back fond memories from when I used to watch my big sister and her friends play.

I played and watched a bunch of later games in the series too -- one of the "USA" versions was one of my favorites, because of the dramatic car chases at the end of every investigation.

I think some of my younger siblings played a newer version of it but I never did.
Never trust a smiling pirate.  :D

I can do that because I'm awesome.

The same english teacher that introduced me to Redwall had those books on her shelf.

I have 6 or 7 of these games from when I was a kid. They're still fun to this day.

Which games and which versions? I have the 1994 "Where in the World" Deluxe edition on CD, and also a set of floppies for what I guess is the same game, minus some nice extras like extra dialogue, the folk music, etc., to fit in the smaller amount of space.

I'm looking to see if I can find the CD version of "Where in the USA" -- from what I've read, one was released, but it's very rare now.
