Oregon Trail, Carmen Sandiego, And Other 'Edutainment'

(Rockapella voice) Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego? This week, the Triple Click gang straps on their magnifying glasses and tries to track down the infamous criminal as well as other "edutainment" games, from Oregon Trail to Number Munchers. What made those old games so special? Can "educational" games ever really work? And what's up with all that dysentery?

One More Thing:

Kirk: Social Media

Maddy: Dante’s Inferno (2010)

Jason: The West Wing
