Episode 44
Deja Vu is one of the most unique games for the NES! Due to Nintendo's strict policies, very few mature games ever got made. Deja Vu features surprisingly dark film noir themes, the kind that you won't anywhere else on the system!
At its core, Deja Vu is a Point and Click adventure game similar to Maniac Mansion. Deja Vu uses a first person view, and was originally designed for black and white Macintosh computers.
So how did this game get from the Macintosh to the NES? What changes had to be made? In this very special episode of U Can Beat Video Games we'll not only learn all of this, and then dive deep into the gameplay... but we'll be able to compare every room from the NES game with the Macintosh original!
* Tons of ITEM DATA! Which items are important, and which ones are junk!
* How to find all of the ADDRESSES! Unlock every area!
*The SECRET to ALWAYS HITTING THE JACKPOT on the Slot Machines!
* Where to find EVERY KEY, and what they're all used for!
*How to get rid of items you don't want, especially INCRIMINATING EVIDENCE!
* Restore your memory! How to use the different medicines to get the results you need!
* Where to find all of the different guns!
* Find all three KEY PIECES OF EVIDENCE you'll need to clear you name!
* A SECRET GLITCH that will allow you to go to locations you shouldn't be able to visit!
* How to get past dangerous enemies like Alligators, Muggers AND MORE!
Thanks for watching!

I really love your ability to condense a retro game experience. The detail you put in your sidebars is so extra, and your scripts are SUPER tight.

@Ratralsis 2 года назад

My older sister and I played this on NES when I was little, one of the few we played together. I remember being so excited every time we saw a new place where I could tell her to try punching and shooting everything, just to see what would happen. It was so great when we punched out the butler, and so disappointing how few people you could get away with shooting.

@Yonah_144 Год назад

Same here. I used to play this, Uninvited and Shadowgate at night. Back in the early 2000's, they didn't even have a decent walkthrough for Deja VU which made it more scary going from screen to screen without any help. Walkthrough and GameFAQs are useless now, because there's RU-vid walkthroughs.

I got a few games for special days, and could rent a few here and there, but even though I talked my parents into Nintendo Power, I rarely got to play many of the games. Its a real treat to finally see a few of these. So thank you for the nostalgia, and the walk through of some fun experiences I never got to have!

@@UCanBeatVideoGames Its rare, but in the game Deja Vu there is actually a second mugger that you didn't show off or mention (unrelated to the one you can punch 3 times before giving him the $20 bill). This mugger seems to be an extremely rare encounter and randomly appears in the back alley of the bar when you get off of the fire escape. When he shows up he wants all of your coins. Regardless of whether or not you give him the coins, he'll punch you in the face and temporarily knock you unconscious.

Great video! Thanks to your guide, I was able to beat Deja Vu. Also, I was able to work out the payout table for the slot machine (for the largest part). Here's what I found so far: 3 7's: 30 coins; 3 Bars: 22 coins; 3 Plums: 18 coins; 3 Bells: 16 coins; 3 Cherries: 14 coins; 3 Bananas: 12 coins; 3 Lemons: 10 coins. About the only one I haven't hit yet is 3 Melons. Interestingly enough though, I hit 3 Bars at least 3 different times while I was working this out.

I used to be in a criminal justice. One tactic that attorneys commonly use is that they will never ever present evidence in a case where it makes the individual look guilty and they'll completely disregard it. It's not the same as lying, because no question was asked. Like the old saying goes, what mom doesn't know won't hurt her.

@alanbalan3539 2 года назад

Probably thinking about this too much but... if someone was making youtube content along your chosen theme of "in-depth players guide", such a person could have selected much more standard choices with mainstream appeal and aimed for maximum channel growth. Instead your choices are what I can only assume is personal preference based on your own tastes or game playing history. Not only that but even when tackling something that would be a massive project like this one, with multiple versions each with their own variations and changes to cover, you do not take the easy way out and genuinely take the time to go over everything when it would be so much easier to just show people the easiest way to reach the ending. Every game gets the same treatment and coverage that most would only reserve for their top 1 or 2 most beloved childhood favorites. I guess my point is you are: absolutely nuts absolutely going your own way, trends and algorithms be damned absolutely deserving of all the likes and subs absolutely a channel deserving of max respect 10/10 lad, dont let em change ya.
