Deja Vu - A Nightmare Comes True
Platform: Commodore 64
Gametype: Undefined
_________________________

Deja Vu is the first game made by ICOM, known for its adventure games such as Shadowgate and Uninvited. It featured mouse support, a multi-window interface, and bitmapped graphics at a time when text-based interactive fiction was the norm. 

In Deja Vu, action takes place in Chicago in December 1941. Your character's name is Theodore "Ace" Harding - a retired boxer working as a private eye. He wakes up in a toilet stall of a sleazy pub with no memory of who he is or what he is doing there. To make matters worse, you as him soon stumble upon a very dead corpse upstairs with three bullets buried in him. Sure enough, you find there's a gun in your pocket with three bullets missing. From there you have to figure out what happened and who you are before whatever is happening to your brain turns you into a mindless vegetable. To make matters worse the cops would very much like to have a word with you about that stiff.

Trivia

Version differences

This game was ported to a variety of systems from its original Macintosh platform, including the Nintendo NES console system. The Mac version featured significantly crispier graphics in black and white and its operating environment set the tone for the game's multi-window interface, while the NES version was subjected to several major changes (the syringe was replaced with digestible capsules, and some of the text was altered as well to save space or edit content).

Description from the packaging:

A nightmare comes true! You're being framed for murder, and mobster Tony Malone is not about to leave you alone. If only you could remember who, what, why, and how- but you can't even remember your name. The problem is, the mob and the cops won't let you forget- they've got your number. And that's just the beginning! You've got 7 days to come up with 100 G's or face the music. It couldn't possibly get any worse than this- or could it?
