Google Maps Meets Carmen Sandiego

Posted by Zonk on from the they-go-from-nashville-to-norway-down-there-to-zimbabwe dept.

Craig Miller writes "What better way to end the weekend than by playing a game of Brewster Jennings Protects America? This new game is a Google Maps mashup with the classic 'Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego' style of game. Run around the world trying to stop a terrorist from carrying an attack. Pretty amusing game and it shows what you can do with the Google Maps API and a little imagination." Despite the jingoistic title and concept it's a lot of fun, and quite challenging on hard.

    I had many a naughty fantasy about Carmen Sandiego in my youth.

    My end to the weekend was taking my 5 year-old son and his 5 year-old 'girlfriend' (the 'girl next door') to a farm park to see the animals, play on the inflatable bouncy castles, ride on the boats and generally get some fresh air. Welcome to the real world.
