The video game launched in the 1980s (hence the pixelated homage) and had several popular TV shows with geographical trivia, music, and of course, adventures!
Check out the video below:
The goal of the game is to search the world for the elusive Sandiego, a super thief known for snatching the world's most famous treasures. In Google Earth, you'll dive into different cities and pick up clues by talking to people at historic landmarks.
Ready to hit the pavement, super sleuth? Just click on the Carmen Sandiego illustration on Google Maps on your computer, or look for the special edition Pegman icon in Google Earth for Chrome, Android, and iOS.
