Bushbuck Charms, Viking Ships and Voodoo Eggs and Gumboots Australia are among the best Carmen Sandiego "clones" after Br๘derbund popularized the "edutainment" concept with this series. In Bushbuck Charms, you must race either against the clock or a computer opponent to retrieve treasures from around the globe, while Gumboots is essentially Where in Australia is Carmen Sandiego?, except now you're tracking some other criminal mastermind. Both are good games with excellent on-line help and educational value, and you (or your kids) will learn a lot about the world's geography in the globe-spanning hunts.Reviewed by: Underdogs
