She couldn't stay hidden forever. Sooner or later she was going to get sloppy enough, or old enough, for someone to find her. Now somebody has. That's her, sitting in a train station, cover completely blown. Poor thing. Time has not been kind.
Carmen Sandiego has been found! [Sensible Erection, thanks Rito!]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA WIN!
haha, that's awesome! i like how you didnt bother revelaing where she was...i guess we'll never know.
anyone else all but learn georgraphy from that game? idve not even heard of nepal for years were it not for that. sneaky edutainment.
Do it, Rockapella!
The warrant!
The only thing I remember from that show/game is where Nicaragua is. I used to love when they would run across the world on the floor thing, but the way the announcer said Nicaragua was amazing.
Nice find!
So did you just walk by her, and take her picture. Must have been awkward for her if not asked. Hehe.
Lol! Epic Win! If I had to guess, I'd say she's in Nashville going to Norway
Hahaha, oh crap.
@TheIrishNinja: If you look closely you will see the Canadian Flag in the background. I don't think the Vancouver Airport has a floor with that design, so.. it must be in another castle.
Wow, time has been pretty vicious to her.
I'm confused by this thread, how will people use it to bash Sony?
This is the best post ever. I love Kotaku more than ever because of this.
You should've detained her.
"Last time I heard, she was going to 'canuck' low for a while, and maybe take up curling."
So where in the world was she?
Well played sir.
That's awesome of you. Wow Carmen sure must've been hiding in antarctica or something.
I hated that game. It was my first on the ragged computer in the closet which didn't even have a hard drive. Damn you, Carmen. Damn that damn warrant, too.
She was hiding from... Chuck Norris.
i know age may have gotten to her but i hope you called the proper authorities.i spent years following her in decent pc and snes games.then spent more time trying to figure out where she was during that cartoon show.
Sony is ignoring the vast edu-tainment market, and that's why they're on a slow road to hell.
This is clear evidence of Microsoft's new, darker and more mature (much more mature), photo-realistic Carmen Sandiego epic.
I laughed, quite a bit more than was necessary, when I saw this on Something Awful a couple days ago. Even more when I found the picture again today.
Everything I wanted to say just now has already been said. Well played, Kotaku-ites. *tips hat*
Time has not treated her fairly.
Time-pilots, Carmen just stole something from the past. You've got...28 minutes to get it back, or history will change forever. Initiate chrono-skimmer launch sequence...boot up the chrono-computer. Power up the engines! Extend the temporal sequencer! Now, get going!
where is her a capella band? I have a few choice words for that bunch
Someone catch her before she escapes and we have to go through another jumping through hoops series of trivia quizzes on geographical locations to find her.
wwwwwWwWWWWWWWwwwwwWWW
That's the best thing since Duke Nukem Forever was confirmed to still be in development.
Time has not been kind too carmen. Nice LOL though.
Oh, man. I laughed so hard.
Ahahaha. This post is win.
rofl. fantastic. maybe you could be nice and just...let her go? inside, you'll both know that you won and she lost.
now i want to find the Carmen Sandiego game on the net and download it.
Finding her was not the challenge. It was waiting untill 2007 and trying to find one of the games.
I can finally live my life in peace. Thanks, Kotaku!
Id hit it. Me luv some Carmen Sandiego!!
hahah! this is why I read kotaku.
@Bleentastic:
good luck ranking up without the 1993 world almanac, buddy. i doubt even your precious internets could help you on some of those questions.
Epic win right here.
... that reminds me, I want to try and find that game...
...but what was the evidence, and the motive? YOU NEED ALL THREE TO ARREST THEM, PEOPLE.
Also, Carmen Sandiego was so good she stole Jupiter's Great Red Spot. True story.
That's an amazing find.
Now... if only we could peg Waldo, we'd be covered.
@chartsandgraphs: Who needs a 93 World Almanac (i have the 92 one) when you have Wikipedia? :)
You may want to add a NSFW tag to the link to Sensible Erection, even though the site title slightly speaks for itself. :x
Funny thing is, she'd actually look that old now for real!
I lol'd
@Atomicvege: i feel like those rank questions were really obscure/specific to the wording of the almanac. though that's probably not the case, i can just remember my pre-internet self getting so frustrated after misplacing the almanac and not being able to find the answer in the encyclopedia. stone age lol
Carmen Sandiego is my hero.
Totally unfair, but I laughed anyway.
Luke you just brought back memories of a time when a close friend became an enemy due to family differences, to a friend I see not too often working at BestBuy. Man those were the good ol' times. Funny thing is, back in the day we were never able find the damn thief. Thinking of it, this even brings back memories of the game show.
This just goes to show, that "any news is good news" no matter what people say.
Where on earth has she been?
the guy who helped "father" Carmen lives in my home town. It's coming up on 25 years since inception, so you should do a write up.
Isn't taking(and furthermore posting) someones picture without their consent illegal?
@TheIrishNinja:
It's a train depot and one of the trains are headed to Portland, San Francisco, and LA. With the Canadian flag, I'll assume it's in western Canada.
Crap, this is exactly like playing the game.
LL FTW
Oh come on, give the poor lady a break. Just because someone has a red outfit and Mount Rushmore stashed away in their luggage doesn't mean they're Carmen Sandiego...
im almost positive thats seattle. the sign in the back ground(look at the full picture) list's the trains stops as Portland, san Fransisco, and los angelas(its going straight down the west coast).
@Havok154: the canadian flag sign is probably just reminding poeple going to canada to have their pass ports ready, or showing them where to line up...
...i'm overthinking this WAY to much...
Hahaha .... hilarious!
FUKKEN WINRAR YOU!!
Miss the old Carmen games... remember playing it endlessly on an 8086XT PC during my childhood...
I LOL'd in real life over here, golden comedy right there! A+++ eBay style.
Stolen from LUELinks without credit :\
@chartsandgraphs: Yeah, you might have a point. Plus, certain information about certain countries probably has changed over time.
@Vexorg: Ok, that got me giggling.
She does not deserve to be treated fairly by anything. She didn't treat us fairly by running to Azerbaijan. I mean...come on...who is supposed to know the capital of Azerbaijan?
"She's a sticky-fingered filcher"
Pure FUCKING Comedy GOLD~!!! This is why I visit Kotaku~! RANDOM FUNNIES~!
Awesome :)
Ok so we found Carmen....but were IS WALDO!?!
Fuck that, lets go to the #1 most elusive thing in the world:
Duke Nukem Forever
she must be stealing Wiis from retirement homes...
man, times pases by so fast, A few years ago I saw that woman hot, and like all latinas, she must have been a great laid,
