1987 Australian review of the first Carmen Sandiego game: โ€œI saw the package for sale in Sydney for $89 which I feel is exorbitant. I myself would not pay that price for it and if it wasnโ€™t for my old mate Brian lending me his game I wouldnโ€™t have even seen it.โ€

(now ~$266 AUD / $170 USD)

Haha, this was a bug - for anybody playing along at home, you first have to go west inside Joe Mangel's house, then you can 'open' the envelope and 'examine' the letter.
