FANTABULOUS! My favorite Carmen Sandiego game has a chance to debut on GOG? I played this game SO MANY TIMES growing up. I loved it to pieces and actually used some of that info in my history reports. I'd love to play it again.
I played this game multiple times as a kid at my grandpa's house. I learned a lot of things from history that help me later in school. I feel this is a great game to start new gamers on. My sons have inherited my love of games. I feel that these types of games are great for young kids to start out with, because of the problem solving skills they provide what don't require a lot of motorskills on a controller. It helps them learn how to slove puzzles in games, remember things said by NPCs, and look for colletable items in games. All things that help establish a baseline for RPG and adventure style games.
We had this one growing up--- actually I still have the two CD ROMS--- I've tried getting this to run on Windows 11 through various methods, and while I've gotten it to run, it never does so *correctly*, with a multitude of visual glitches. Sharing an educational game from my youth with my son would be a treasure. Help us out GOG!

Final Fantasy IV
Final Fantasy IVFinal Fantasy IV is a remake of the classic Japanese RPG that was first released for SNES, known as Final Fantasy II in the West. Unlike the many subsequent ports (to Playstation, GameBoy Advance, etc.), this release is a full remake, programmed from scratch with real-time 3D graphics. The characters have a "super-deformed" touch. There is also voice acting during cut-scenes. A new option has been added to the menu, which allows the player to read a conversation between party members and receive advice from them. It also features many gameplay additions. The difficulty level has been increased, not only beyond the difficulty of the Western SNES release (which was reduced compared to Japanese original and subsequent ports), but even beyond the original difficulty. The party members are still bound by class, but they can now hunt for so-called "augments", which can be found or stolen from enemies and which grant the characters additional bonus abilities, resistances, spells that their class would normally not allow, etc. Beside those major changes, there are also plenty of minor additions. It is possible to obtain bonus items after exploring every corner and filling 100% of an area map; Rydia, the summoner girl, has a new monster summon who can be customized in various ways; there is a new quest involving the "naming" moogle of the original game, etc.
