Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? Deluxe is a video game within the Carmen Sandiego franchise released in 1990. It is the first remake of the 1985 title Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego? and follows the Enhanced Version. It is sometimes referred to as Version 2.0 along with USA and Space. The Deluxe version featured additional animation and a reworked interface from the original version. Some of the bonus features included digitized photos from National Geographic, over 3200 clues, music from the Smithsonian/Folkways Recordings, 20 villains, 60 countries, and 16 maps. CD-ROM versions for DOS and Macintosh were released in 1992, and a Windows version was released in 1994.
International music from Smithsonian Folkways was approved for use in this game.
Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? Deluxe, released on CD-ROM, adds digitized photographs from the National Geographic Society and music from Smithsonian/Folkways. Each location contains three sources of clues: The user can question a bystander, search the area, or call "Crime Net". Bystanders and "Crime Net" provide clues as to the suspect's location and, on occasion, additionally state something about the suspect. Searching an area along the perpetrator's path turns up an object that provides a clue as to the suspect's location. The Deluxe edition is the first in the series to feature dialogue spoken aloud, although most information still appears in written form and the dialogue of bystanders is not spoken but rather contained in speech balloons.
