When I was a kid, like many from my generation, I used to love playing Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?. In this game you had to travel the world, following clues, to catch the infamous criminal leader Carmen Sandiago. It was with much joy that I discovered a few days ago that someone had taken the concept of this game and merged it with Google Maps technology to make a souped-up version of the game.

The new game is called Brewster Jennings Protects America. At the moment there are only two scenarios available. But, no doubt, this will improve with time. I’ve also written my own scenario for the game, entitled Maxwell Smart takes on Osama, which you can play by following this link.

I look forward to seeing how this game develops.
