I remember as a kid in junior high school I had a copy of the Apple computer videogame 'Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego' (got a copy from some other student, I guess), and this is maybe the exact pixel image of Port Moresby I saw (I think it was Port Moresby; not sure, though) which was so beautiful and enchanting: a tropical paradise!
I think this is the right Wikipedia article about that video game:
Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? is an educational video game released by Broderbund in 1985. It is the first product in the Carmen Sandiego franchise. ...
In the game, the player takes the role of a rookie in the ACME Detective Agency, tasked to track down crooks from the V.I.L.E. organization that have stolen famous works from around the world. They do this by using their knowledge of geography (aided by the Almanac) to question witnesses or investigate clues to track down where the crook has gone. Successfully solving these crimes increases the player's rank in ACME, leading to more difficult cases and later tasked to find the lead of V.I.L.E., Carmen Sandiego.
