What it is
Deja Vu II: Lost in Las Vegas is a first-person noir adventure starring detective Ace Harding. After being abducted, questioned by mobster Tony Malone and left in a hotel bathtub, Ace must navigate a crime-filled Las Vegas. The game presents the original Macintosh and Apple IIgs versions, restored to their original form, and describes itself as a classic from 1988.
Its MacVenture-style play uses a window-based drag-and-drop object system to investigate more than 50 rooms and solve puzzles. The interface can be moved and resized, and the retro graphics can be expanded to full screen. Players can save progress at any time and create as many save points as they wish. The listed Steam features are single-player and Family Sharing. The Steam release is listed for Windows and macOS; the broader platform list also names Philips CD-i, DOS, Atari ST, Classic Mac OS and Apple IIGS. Zojoi is the publisher.
