I got "Where in the USA ..." recently and was disappointed, partly because there's very little color in the game. A careful examination of game boxes seems to indicate that "Where in Time ..." is the only one with color graphics. In general, however, I didn't find the game very interesting, color or not. I don't know if the others are much different. - Gil Neiger gil@cc.gatech.edu

I don't now that he finds time much better except that it is new to him. Where in Tim does have everythiing in color. -- Ken Tubman ARCO Oil & Gas Company ktubman@arco.com 2300 W.

I don't know if the others are much different. I played one case of Where in Europe.. and have little desire to ever play another Carmen Sandiego game. The game was quite boring and repetitious. The National Geographic board game "Geographic Pursuit" is a much more entertaining way to learn about the world. ---Todd -- Todd R.
