It was released in [[1985]] for [[Macintosh]] as the first in the {{c|MacVenture}} series; it was later ported to several other systems, including the [[Commodore Amiga]]. Subsequent releases featured improved graphical features, including color.

Subsequent releases featured improved graphical features, including color.


Déjà Vu was the first game to use ICOM's trademark MacVenture interface and engine. This game and its sequel, [[Deja Vu II: Lost in Las Vegas]], require significant lateral thinking. Some situations are based in common detective techniques, while others require simple violence. Overall, they are more realistic than the two other MacVentures titles ([[Uninvited]] and [[Shadowgate]]), because there are no supernatural events involved.

Numerous ports were made, including versions for several home computer systems in 1987 and one for the [[NES]] in 1990. Versions of the game and its sequel containing new graphics and sound were released for Microsoft Windows in the early 1990s, and later as a combined single-cartridge release for the Game Boy Color in 1999 (under the title Déjà Vu I & II: The Casebooks of Ace Harding, which was also released for DOS, Windows 3.x (1992), and Windows Mobile (2002)). In [[2015]], published [[Reverb Triple XP]] released a recreation of the game on [[Steam]] which simulates the old Macintosh and Apple IIGS interfaces.
