Still a Classic – Deja Vu: MacVenture Review

A time capsule of 80s gaming and 40s Film Noir. It is a real treat for fans of the original NES games to get to experience the originals, using a touchpad. I remember as a kid playing this, it felt so realistic and grown up to go through a city as a private eye. From a historic perspective, this was one of the earliest adventure series' to feature a first person perspective, while still being tied to some of the text-based conventions of earlier adventure titles. For newcomers, resist walkthroughs and think like a detective !! - But don't make too many moves in one save or your in-game time limit might expire. Thanks so much for 64 bit compatibility which will allow these games to keep playing on iOS 11. Really, my only complaint comes from the sound of this and the other ports. I am listening to WiiGuy's Kemco NES port stereo soundtracks of these games in the background to more fully relive the NES experience, but the game sound effects pause my music every time they go off, and cannot be turned off.
