Hi,
Thanks to you guys I located this game finally, (since I did not remember the game). I played the game years back on a 386 and loved it. I am using a windiws 2000 machine now and I cant run the exe file. I get a blank screen and nothing else.

Got any ideas? do I need to find an earlier DOS versions?

Keep it going guys. Great thread.

Peace

If you have DosBox you should be able to run it in that!
If you don't have DosBox see the Programs section under Utilities on the Home Page.
If you can boot your computer into Dos, it should run there!
Normally it works fine under windows but it is possible it won't work with windows 2000 for some reason.
If you can't get it started you could try downloading it again.

Sorry I can't be of more help!

If anybody can tell me questions that they have been asked - with answers if you know them, then I can put them all together.

Yeah the questions at the end arn't of the 'what country has a red and white flag' variety. Here is the question, and answer I got off the net, that I was asked before promoted:

Pedro Alvares Cabral is credited as being the first european to reach Brazil in: 1500

By the way, is Where in Space is Carmen Sandiego abandonware?

mouse31e, this site may help you with the Q's & A's. The one I talked about earlier isn't even on the list, so I thought id just share the URL rather then put the whole thing here.

List of promotional questions and answers:

.... have you seen them asked before?

[mouse31e]

I think that's for the original version and the copy on this site is the remake. When I've got it up and running I'll post the link for what I've got so far!

The list so far is at uk.geocities.com/mouse31e

My apologies if the site is a bit erratic, it has only been online for about 26 minutes but it was something I needed to do and Saturday morning seemed like a good time. k:

Irrelevant to this thread (probably confused different games).

Why wont this download for me

Maybe you are using a download manager or accelerator. If so, switch it off k:

God, this game brings back memories. I played the original on a Commodore Amiga 2000 (still have it!)

It's interesting to see the world frozen in time in this game; you'll notice that some questions reference the now-defunct USSR and refer to the leader as the "party secretary." 1990 was a great year for games.

Awesome site.

Cheers.
