Not my favorite of the Kemco point and clicks but definitely no slouch. Deja Vu is a meandering adventure through the eyes of an amnesia afflicted detective, seemingly being framed for a crime he didn't commit. You'll use the command menu to pick up items, find codes and keys for locks, and to punch out the occasional assailant to stay alive, all while seeking a cure for your missing memories.

It's deliberately pulpy and dumb, but features a massive number of death sequences (just like its siblings: Shadowgate and Uninvited), making struggling through classic adventure controls a little less taxing than normal.

For adventure fanatics? It's a good time! But for those who don't enjoy the genre, steer clear, because the ways it has aged won't wax positive.
