Retro Review #4: Deja Vu (NES)

Gamers may feel a real sense of deja vu when playing Kemco's appropriately titled follow-up to Shadowgate. While it shares no continuity, this graphic adventure does offer the same point and click fun of the 1989 adventure game. What does Cyril think? Find out when he reviews Deja Vu for the Nintendo Entertainment System!

Very clever ending I have never played this game but I have always been a little curious.

I liked this one, sometimes I need a break from the intense action ones.I also liked Shadowgate, which is set up the same way with the menu screens and pointers.It's kinda fun to go back and try a speed quest. I beat it in about a half an hour once.

Hmmm... I feel like I've seen this game before..

Nice; this one is on our list after playing Shadowgate.

I love this game! You could potentially run out of money, but if you examine the slot machine when you have no money it gives you a coin every time, thus you will never run out...so gambling is always viable. It is a bit annoying though to have to know to gamble to make enough money, but I digress.

Another way to not be able to complete the game is if, before taking the medicine to remember who you are, you put the wrong medicine in the capsule, as there is no way to drop the capsule or give it to anyone else, including yourself (well, some of them you can but it would kill you). Had to reset the game and start over one time because of that unfortunately.

I'm not usually a point and click gamer but maybe I should give this a try.

Well made videos with interesting subjects and reviews. Seriously you need more subscribers... its not fair. Excuse my poor english... Greetings from Venezuela.

I liked deja vu, but yeah, it was no shadow gate. Outside of the alligator there wasn't many "holy crap" memorable moments in the game. 

I did think Uninvited lived up to shadowgate.

Kemco, huh. Have you noticed that in the last 10 years or so, Kemco has been pumping 16 bit style rpgs out the door like nobodys business? I find most to be hard to get into. What's your thoughts?
