Another great MacVenture game with the same garbage inventory.
If you liked the first Deja Vu then you'll like this. I thought the first game was better though, so if you didn't like the first one then this isn't going to change your mind.
Déjà Vu 2 (or II): Lost in Las Vegas is the fourth game in the MacVenture series, and has the exact same ahead-of-its-time graphical interface. Overall, I like this game sequel better than the original one, but not better than the previous two games in the MacVenture series.
POSITIVES
It’s a stylish game with a fair amount of complexity and challenges, especially considering how limited the 80s Macs were.
NEGATIVES
As with the original Déjà Vu game, this sequel has many of the same flaws:
• I played the IIgs version (with color). In that version, there’s a bug where the needed train never appears on the correct platform. I don’t know if this bug is in the original Mac version or not, but it made catching the train nearly impossible while wearing the police uniform (without a change of clothes).
• Both of the Déjà Vu games have a disproportionate amount of complexity relative to the sheer lack of plot restrictions or guidance (such as hints). Without a walkthrough, this game could take FOREVER to figure out and finish. I love the complexity of so many locations and clickable objects and potential inventory items, but stumbling on the endgame solution by trial-and-error is about as effective as buying lottery tickets as an investment strategy.
• The small window size makes handling the inventory a little awkward, and if the window is magnified, then the low-res graphics lose what little realism they had to begin with.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Therefore, for anyone who’s contemplating a potential exploration of the MacVenture series, I highly recommend you focus most of your time on the middle two games. If you still want to play through the first and last games, generously use a walkthrough with both of them and remember to save often in the first one (with the fewest number of mugger encounters).
For this game, save when you reach a new location, explore the whole location, and then consult the walkthrough. Your chances of figuring what to do at each location, and which items to take, are slim. Also, once you figure out that you need to change your clothes about halfway through the game, be sure to keep your original clothes with you.
When you’re done immersing yourself in the unique piece of gaming history that is the MacVenture series, be sure to purchase and play the 2014 remake of Shadowgate. It’s pretty awesome.
One of the most asininely designed adventure games I've ever played. The puzzles go out of their way to defy logic at every turn (jimmy locks with a pocketknife? Open a phone? Use the key you find in said phone in a slot machine to get a ledger? Put a magnet on an elevator panel and it magically works as a button to give access to the fifth floor?) and the timed events are outright stupid - you have approximately 8 turns to read the train schedule, get on the right train, and stuff $20 in bills into the conductor's hand, one fiver at a time. if you're even a turn off, he'll take whatever money you've given him and kick you off the train, potentially making things unwinnable. As someone who grew up with the NES versions of the Icom games and even still revisits them every once in a while, this one is a serious letdown. Avoid.
You can eat keys caw caw.
And soft locking your progesss caw caw.
Hasnt aged very well, but this provided me with closure after playing this as a kid and never completing it.

TLDR: Dialog window gets cropped. UI is dated and relies on an old OS to give engine to adventure. Try Kingsway instead for same idea in an RPG format.
Walk clickers are arguably the more primitive version of doing adventure games compared to classic point and click. Even walking simulators have the potential to be more fluid with their freeform environment navigation.
The stiff scripting required for progression, along with the insta-death pitfalls peppered all over hurt the experience.
The writing looked decent and the presentation was good for the time period.
The game has no audio either which further lowers the entertainment value.
This is utlimately a notalgia piece, or a museum exhibit of gaming era that has gone by. I prefer to archive the Macventure titles in my hidden library to give better visibility to more entertaining and better executed modern adventure games. The idea to open a browser window to see items when you for example open a container is a nice idea but better executed in kingsway.
Another good game, just like its prequel. I didn't care for the unwinnable situations you can get yourself in, however.
You're back as Ace Harding in this sequel of Deja Vu, only this time you do know who you are. But you're a reckless gambler who racked up an insurmountable gambling debt and now you're caught up in a knot. You find yourself in a hotel room and a hulking brute gangster ominously greets you in the process. It appears that you've entangled yourself in mob affairs, because Anthony Malone wants over $200k to be paid back. Quite a pickled situation!
This game places you, again, in the role of our bumbling detective Ace Harding as you have to solve this hairy mess he's gotten himself into.
I would rank this title the third least forgiving, but that's a bit of a stretch considering there's a lot more ways you can fail in this game than the predecessor. A lot more places to go and the timer is obviously tied into the character of Stogie Martin, the first character you meet in the game. Do one too many wrong moves, he's gonna tap you on the shoulder a couple times but eventually he'll kill you anywhere he'll find you. He even teleports! Don't believe me? Try running from him in the desert or in another train.
I didn't feel like this game was as captivating as the first game. This sequel does make some nods to the original as there'll be a point in the game where you have to re-visit Chicago to gather a couple critical pieces of blackmailing evidence. Which is really what you're to do in this game - is to figure out a way to blackmail two mob bosses into fighting eachother so you'd get off scot-free from paying anyone big debts.
What sucks about this game though is that, there's just so much room to mess up that it becomes a chore to do right a dozen times. It's going to require cautious saves before fumbling about before you know what you're to do or look up a walkthrough. This game would be the last of the MacVenture series, though.
I don't really recommend because, while I appreciate the tie-in with the first game, it just lost most of it's charm due to the difficulty.
Hard to play. Hard to figure out basic controls. Frusterated.
A well made classic LOVE THIS GamE!! bring back my apple 2gs!
This game is classic. Found myself laughing and laughing each time I did something stupid and random. I still remember playing the originals and brings back memories even in real life where I made similar choices. Be prepaid for MisAdventures!!
I got arrested for walking around naked classic!
