Déjà Vu II: MacVenture Series

Arguably the least-known entry out of the classic MacVenture games, Déjà Vu II: Lost in Las Vegas is the fourth and last of the series that barely missed out on being included amongst the famed NES trilogy and had to instead contend with having its own place over on the GameBoy Colour, though that does not diminish its potential as a sequel to the first of the point & click adventure trilogy. To briefly cover the general premise, Déjà Vu II puts you back into the shoes of the one-time boxer turned private detective Ace Harding who, as a result of the events of the first game, finds himself in trouble with none other than the mafia operating in Las Vegas with a particular mobster taking issue with a key operative in their racketeering operation over in Chicago (where the first game took place in) having a sizeable amount of $112,000 go missing.

The worst of the MacVenture games, and I loved "Deja Vu" (on the NES). Moon logic puzzles, too vague of a goal, obnoxious window management that you need to re-configure every time you load a save (and you will be loading and reloading saves!), and a complete nuisance of a time limit system - especially for a game that will outright require you to just sit around burning time, waiting for something to happen. The trains are a thoroughly undue hassle, possibly outright bugged, and never seem to appear at the platforms that the schedule claims they're at. Not a worthy follow-up to the original "Deja Vu."

Notes to self *get dressed before leaving hotel room AT least what happens stays in VEGAS!

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.
