Nostalgic Lookback: Video Rental

If you were born at any time prior to the 2010s, you would remember these places being plentiful. At first they were places to rent VHS tapes as well as purchase whatever other merch they were selling, then eventually DVDs and even video games were added to the selection. With the advancing digital age where you can now rent movies digitally, the need to do so with physical copies decreased, leading to the gradual decline and disappearance of these stores.

Nostalgic Lookback: Carmen Sandiego

It was on PBS Kids in the mid-90s that I had my first encounter with the notorious Carmen Sandiego. I caught some of the Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego? game show in the early evening after Kidsongs had finished, and I quickly got hooked on catching its nightly broadcast. Y'know the show - the one with Lynne Thigpen as the Chief of ACME Detective Agency, Greg Lee as the host, and Rockapella performing music, including the iconic theme song? Yeah, it was a lot of fun to watch, and it still is upon rewatches.

I soon got to see the other Carmen Sandiego show out at the time, the animated series Where On Earth Is Carmen Sandiego? starring Rita Moreno in the titular role, airing on Fox Kids. It was enjoyable and educational to watch as well, even if I didn't catch it nearly as often due to it being a Saturday Morning Cartoon. There was later another game show on PBS with Thigpen as the Chief, Where In Time Is Carmen Sandiego?, but that one just wasn't nearly as good.

But then there were also Carmen Sandiego books and Carmen Sandiego board games out at the time. I recall enjoying those too!

Inevitably I learned that this franchise had originated as a series of "edutainment" computer games for kids of all ages that came out in the late 80s and then just exploded into widespread popularity in the 90s. And naturally, some of those games were among the ones that I played in my youth, and still do play on ISO files every now and then. Junior Detective, which tied in with the Where On Earth? show, was my first Carmen game - very easy, yet still quite fun. Later on I got the third version "Deluxe Editions" of Where In The World? and Where In The USA?, which incoperated Lynne Thigpen's Chief and featured probably my favorite iteration of the titular character other than the one from Where On Earth? I played the fuck out of those ones and were really into what they had to offer, though I'll admit to still having a major preference to World over USA. But in contrast to the Where In Time? game show, the Where In Time? game (later re-released as Carmen Sandiego's Great Chase Through Time) ended up being my favorite game of the whole lot. Reusing the Chief, Carmen, and the ACME Good Guides from those last two games, it goes in a more linear fashion, but the historical cases are so fun, so packed with good stuff and so memorable that I never tire of them.

Carmen Sandiego these days is but a shell of the edutainment juggernaut it used to be, but hey, at least she's still out there at all!
