About

The concept of time travel is brought into the fourth game, and you'll traverse the world at different periods to catch Carmen and her cohort of thieves from stealing history's treasures.

It runs from System 6, but only from a system with minimal extensions; a shift boot will ensure this program works properly, otherwise simply boot from the 3.5" floppy. I have also encountered however the mouse seems to freeze up, but that could be a Sweet 16/emulation issue. Running from System 6 and a hard drive results in a crash.

However, each game in the Carmen Sandiego series has also been specially modified to run from a hard drive / large ProDOS volume in this special collection , thanks to Marco Verpelli.
