Deja Vu: NES Death Scenes

[M1STAWU1FY]

God this game was awesome. I miss my NES

[derekghattas]

You can actually punch the mugger with a gun three times before you have to give him your money!

[yourjoeyromeo]

Should repost without the text "jokes."

[chicobiabia]

I used to play this shit, looking back they did kinda fuck ya over alot lol

[katrinavladden]

Forgot about the alligator death.

[Depp0vom0Dienst]

This Police-sound is just awesome xD

[shimazu32]

3:30 - now the game is just being a dick

[MrBw1982]

You can actually get stuck if you use your last coins for a cab ride

[piecat42]

uh... how is the oldest trick in the book rigging a car so that it explodes when you try to start it?

[plaidchuck]

Hehe yeah the game was kind of trial and error but I thought it was cool with the simple "Film Noir" plot. Never knew it original came out for the Mac in 85.

[jeditenihongo]

@3:03 You get arrested for just opening the door to police station. Damn those police don't fuck around do they?

[RedAvery1]

Its funny how the mugger with the gun kills you but when you give him the money he tells you his gun is empty.

[voss297]

looks like the "little surprise" became the biggest fail for her

[voss297]

When I first played Deja Vu, it took me a long time to beat this game.

[YellowJacketNinja375]

Ah, that old exploding car trick.

[kyusakanoue]

なんでそこでロックマンが出てくるwwwww

[MrJoshuaSalway1990]

He wants ALL of my money? Gee, that's not very nice. I thought he was gonna let me keep some for myself.

[xxxslash616xxx]

I thought this game was better than the rest. I like the whole memory loss idea and figured out where to go when I was like 9 lol. It kinda has a NOIR feel to it in a way and that's what I have always liked about it.

[KiethSomataw99]

can you do Deja Vu: NES Arrest Scenes?

[HellbladesFFXI]

Wanna know what's worse than Ace Harding's 5 second reaction time? The fact that he can KILL HIMSELF WITH A EMPTY PISTOL! Try it! Take out ALL of the bullets and he will STILL manage to shoot himself.

I don't know if he's really freaking good, or if his body can stop his heart on the thought of shooting himself.

[a1rh3add]

The nes game was "censored" a bit. The capsules replaced the syringe and the pack of gum replaced the Luckys (Cigarettes). Plus the drug that acts like it is going to kill you makes you high. Also the old version was alot harder because you only had so many moves before you black out and die (Kinda like a shadowgate scenario)

[xXRawrRichRawrXx]

4:39... MEGAMAN

[ZPokemonfanA]

I can't find the How To Die In Uninvited series. Did the user close his account or something?

[vh2k]

You actually can't lose your last coin in the slot machine

[dogmd7]

Please do more. PLEASE.

[memokk]

6:18 wheres the FUCK HER command?

[kralle333]

my fav of the adventure games

[eminence1337]

I hate you for hating this game RSCNyx. Nice video though!

[blockboy10101]

Really i like this game, its complex,fun, and tense ^_^

[nfsworld35]

@ 2:46, it is always a bad idea to look at girl's boobs. ^_^

[SonicDestroyer12]

Why is it that if you kill a criminal, you get 10 years in prison, yet when shooting a bum, the punishment is THREE LIFETIME SENTENCES?!

[WilliamC24]

You can also die from oferall, I think. You can also kill Vickers and Mr. Sternwood with drugs, along with Mrs. Sternwood who is in some semi-conscious state, that will lead to you going to jail as you actually commit murder. You can also murder to butler which leads to a rather funny reference to how the butler is always the culprit. You can also die by the sewer gator. You can also loose by trying to off the cabbie, I think the divider reflects the bullet and you end up getting shot.

[gdogg1979]

@happytreefriendssuck I agree

[Valrul]

Catchy music

[Toxicdude12]

this game is so awesome i only started playing today .its hard to find out what your objective is sometimes IMO

[legomario]

the music that plays at 4:39 actually sounds better in slow motion shown later on

[superman1234393]

Will you do the same thing for Uninvited and Shadowgate soon please? We wanna see those. Thanks man.

[Anbercrombie]

I have been asking the angry video game nerd to review this for a while... I effing hate this game

[shrike993]

why does the mugger look like a charger?

[legomario]

@shrike993 i never noticed!srlsy,i NEED THESE GAME SPRITES!!!SO I CAN EDIT THEM!

1.megaman decoy

2.mugger charger

and many more,i just need people to gather info about sprites for this game!

[shinmrkarate1980]

lol at death for examining the girl's boobs

[JeffroTV]

1:56 Elvis mugs you for peanut butter and banana sandwiches. The whore!

[HolyDemonSnap]

Megaman reference... XD Clever. :)

[Carcassfan891]

I liked Deja Vu.

[TheKaBLAMshow]

Wow... Dosent this look aLOT like Shadow Gate??

I like the music though..

[kucoru16]

So you just wander around this game getting mugged and your ass kicked? Sheesh, shadowgate and uninvited were so much simpler. Now I want to play this game.

[ElFenixdePlata]

5:28

KARMA

[vertigoelectric]

Maybe this game is called Deja Vu because you have to keep doing/seeing the same things over and over again in order to beat it legitimately after so many failed attempts.

[draggt03]

does this game have a time limit like shadowgate?

[RanYakumoShikigami]

@draggt03 All three games had a time limit. Shadowgate retained its time limit with the torches, Uninvited replaced its time limit with holding onto the Ruby, and Deja Vu gave you the "memory loss turns you into a vegetable" death as a time limit that stopped when you recovered your memory. I'm assuming the original Deja Vu also sped to the vegetable death if you entered your office before getting your memory back.

[Creton79]

you forgot the crocodile scene and leaving taxi without paying the fare!

[eezzekiel]

i loved this game as a kid,...yea it was a pain in the ass and you didnt really know what to do, but the time i spent on trying to beat it will make the music resonate in my head forever...and i dont think thats a bad thing

[MindfulBard]

This is like the best game out of sjadowgate, Deja-Vu, and Uninvited!

[oopszie]

I have a soft spot for deja-vu, because it introduced me to this style of gaming. It was of the first games I played on my mac.. Your criticisms are fair- it's a strange, tough game that drops you into a hostile world with no clues and a time limit. But it also feels great once you beat it. (No FAQs in the 80s!)

After Deja Vu, Shadowgate seemed.. well, fun, but easy. Alas, I never played uninvited!

[MidnightMidna]

You just fell for the oldest trick in the book! You've been blown into little bits. You just fell for the oldest trick in the book! You've been blown into little bits.

[MaxxTroupe]

@MidnightMidna You just fell for the oldest new trick in the book! You've been blown into little bits. You just fell for the same dumbass-est trick in the book! Your little bits have been blown into little bits.

[sonikku70]

You get arrested just for going into a police station? Bullshit! You could be running in there just to say, "THERE'S A GUNFIGHT DOWN THE STREET!" BUT NO! INSTEAD, YOU ARE ARRESTED BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T KNOCK FIRST!

[VictoryfortheHorde]

With the mugger stealing all your coins: You can look in the slot machine and pick up a quarter and keep playing until you have coins.

[Knux95]

Hey! Deja Vu is called Univited?

[terrycrewser4th]

@Knux95

No, they are two separate games by the same company.

[cb19882000]

what if that mugger ran into to chuck norris?

mugger:ma always told me it was wrong to steal but it is also wrong to kill so give me all your money!!!!

chuck norris:well your mom was right

SOCKO!!!!

you land a roundhouse kick and knock the mugger out cold

[sonikku70]

@cb19882000 IT'S SUPER EFFECTIVE!

[ScubaSteveM45]

This game has 3 save files, with trial and error this game is no tougher than the next game.

[Danjo1216]

Wait... what about the elevator death scene? I could have sworn that one of the elevator's buttons plummets you to your death. Maybe that was only in the Mac version?

[MaxxTroupe]

It's a trial and error game.

[Joshuax152]

@MaxxTroupe Make It Trial And Terrer xD

[MaxxTroupe]

@Joshuax152 Just make it a little more spell checked (no i'm not making fun) and okay, it can be that. :D

[luungockhang]

lol, it's megaman rofl

[The8BitWarrior]

Sweet Im making a video on Uninvited NES deaths.

[ucg102]

You see a mugger , the mugger waits for your oppinion a while

[ArthurGCGCGC]

And you forgoted the Death for an Crocodile in Sewers...

xD~~~

(Yes, can happen)

[21MegaYoshi]

lmao at the slow motion part

[CallyA]

The game is set up so that you'll never lose all your coins playing the slots. As long as you're playing the right slot machine (the only one that functions) you'll win on the very last coin, if not sooner.

Also, there's a death where a sewer alligator eats you.

[RSCNyx]

So, considering this video was so popular, I might remake it, due to the fact that I kinda think it's garbage.

Once I get done with my current series, I'll probably do this again. So if this video mysteriously vanishes, you all know why.

[HawtDawg925]

@RSCNyx Please do. This is a great vid, a remake would be awesome.

[doom1killer123]

@RSCNyx why havent you?

[Squintsism]

@RSCNyx It didn't vanish. hahaha

[Ruchsacksepp]

at 6:22 what happens if you try to shoot the sleeping person? the woman in the bed will draw a machine gun while sleeping?

[RSCNyx]

It's another "You got arrested" game over. Although it's still really fun to do.

[doom1killer123]

@RSCNyx not garbage, good

[vampirerain100]

@Ruchsacksepp or maybe a nuke launcher

[SebTorMk]

i pissed me of with uninvited

the grim reaper fuck me up in each death

[SebTorMk]

more realistic than games today :D

[iscream22]

I used to play this when i was 7 or so. I just found my old nes and snes last week. Ima play these games all night

[BrewerFR]

i actually found shadow gate classic harder than this game, specially when theres that bit with the handles.

ALSO, 'when the mugger pounces on you, you lose all your money and the games impossible'...

WRONG go back down to the casino, and go to the slot machines. if you were to look inside the tray at the bottom of the tray on the left, theres some money in there, alngside the message 'its your lucky day'...

[BrewerFR]

@BrewerFR in fact, everything youve written about is shear ballocks. YOU HAVE TO USE YOUR HEAD on this game, its not a 'walk around and wait for the game to tell me what to do' game. if you were to read every newspaper headline, every note, and every letter you find, you'd know exactly where to go, what to do, and how to permanetly deafet the 3 muggers.

[Avaquaire]

It's actually the one mugger, he just changes hit after hit.

[builthatch]

in the days before walkthroughs and the internet, this game was awesome. it was unique for the time, IMO.

[KirbyY15]

''did ma ever tell you you have huga ass bixeps?''

now i need new pants cause i was pissing laughing ='''D

[xxmike45xx]

Wow, when he shoots himself he's so accurate. >_>

When He tries to shoot some one, they shoot him first.

[ParadoxJuice]

@xxmike45xx

You weren't fast enough. You pulled out a shotgun and shot yourself before you got a chance to shoot yourself.

[xxmike45xx]

@ParadoxJuice For shame. -___-!

[OptiMystic8]

@xxmike45xx Actually, he tried to shoot himself, but himself reacted faster and shot him first.

Ace Harding is THAT slow on the draw.

[snake2006]

What's wrong, the truth hurts doesn't it?

Does it make you feel small that there are people who are much smarter than you could ever hope to be?

Good,deal with it and move on.

[louiseleon07]

at the first death scene i got to say it OMFG really without reasons

[papapupunana]

wow suicide was best way to go out with your will :D

[kamikaze9699]

LMAO- I did the "Use Gun on Self" bit when I found it in the restroom. When I read "So much for your dreams and aspirations" in the bathroom stall, I took a moment to reflect on the irony of the statement- he didn't know what they were, so they didn't matter to begin with...

[SuperDave341]

the dead scene in the construction area should be one of the most infamous death ever in video game history. What they were thinking at Kemco for pete sake?

[slicksgirl]

"save your game often"

problem fixed!

of corse you get dumped in a bar if you follow the story you cant remember a thing so the whole "don't know what to do/ were to go" is kinda.......ya know...

[LashSB]

4:00

For once, someone not saying you can't run out of coins! ZOMG!

I took some thinking to this, because it seems stupid that Ace needs 5 seconds to aim a gun... and I figured the Clerk has a shotgun set to fire at the customer from under the counter. Sure, it's gonna tear the shit out of the counter after it goes, but as long as the clerk is still alive, right?

[sonicbooom11]

there's a quater in the slot machine when you are down to 0 coins and it will be there every time and you will win on the slot machine everytime so no you won't be stuck in the game.

[thechucknorrisofNSMB]

and if you only have 1 coin you will ALWAYS win the slot machine.

[KirbyY15]

hahaahhaha: ace harding is dr. willy

hahahahhaha

[snake2006]

Well I would rather take being smart than being a fucking idiot anyday. Socially burned, hell no, I could care less what society thinks of me. I know most of society is a bunch of low life trash that doesn't deserve the gift of life they squander every day.

[RealParadoxBlues]

As much as I agree with the whole "smart beats idiot" thing, thinking that way about society will not help their low opinion of you. Especially when your social theory is cobbled together from half-remembered Jigsaw and Tyler Durden lines.

[Doommaster1994]

1:03 - Hi, Billy Mays here for Kaboom!

[yeshuabendavid]

once again, you cannot run out of coins. if you're out, one is in the tray of the slot machine, and you'll win more.

[RSCNyx]

Thanks for being the MILLIONTH person to mention this. I didn't know that at the time, and guess what? I no longer care.

Anyone else mentioning that "OMG YOU CANT RUN OUT OF COINS" after SEVERAL people already have will recieve a swift and unmerciful block.

[legomario]

@RSCNyx oh wait,make that a thwomp or whatever XD

[pretearking]

@RSCNyx You can't run out of coins.

[CSDragon31]

You can't run out of coins in this game. If the mugger gets you, you can go back to the casino and get some free money hidden in one of the slots.

[Daanioo]

Almost made it through the whole game at the age of 10. Well, can't take credit for it all by myself since my dad helped me at some points, but it all comes down to patience. In the end, a few years later, I used a faq, after beeing stuck for ages. Found that fat woman in the trunk but never realized I had to take off her muzzle before giving her the medicine to make her talk. I'm pissed every time I come to think of it now, cause it's pretty obvious she won't be able to talk with a muzzle. lol

[dnelms2]

I was able to beat this game without the aid of any FAQs as they did not exists at the time... It wasn't THAT hard as I recall.

[fredlburrows]

It's a bit challenging, but nothing ridiculous. I first played it at 7 years old or so and I got pretty far but I didn't understand that you were supposed to dump evidence in the sewer to get rid of it before you go to the police station.

Me and a buddy replayed this when we were about 15 and finished it.

[Danjo1216]

@dnelms2

Same here, though I had to take a bit of a break the first time I died. The original death screen was pretty scare for a 5 year old!

[YukiTheLaughingMan]

How does one "plug" someone full of holes exactly? To me, "plugging"

implies blocking up holes, not making them. Lol.

[Thanos6]

"Deja Vu: The feeling that you are doing something that you have done before." ;)

[Doommaster1994]

I could probably post the PC version's deaths if anyone wants me to.

[EvilPandamoniuom]

please do, im curious as to what the differences are.

[IDarkPaladinI]

I'd love that.

Subsequantly, I got a video of Uninvited deaths as well. =P

[boombafunk]

So you're saying, *we* aren't "smart", just because *we* aren't very good at the game Deja Vu.

I'm sorry, but judging people's intelligence by looking at how people play games is just fail. Smart people != people good at games.

[fredlburrows]

You can pretty much judge someone's intelligence by what they say, for instance, if they say something like "is just fail" they are a fucking moron.

[snake2006]

All of you are just jealous that you aren't that smart.

Deal with it and move on.

[Joshuax152]

you must hit the mugger with gun 1st then walk away how does it work

Tip: you can only do that 3 times then give him the money

[hammerhead300]

That one's a different mugger. If you run into the one on the video, you're pretty much screwed.

[Doommaster1994]

Whoever composed the music to this game must have been on druga or something.

[pawel1818]

lol died by Lost Memory

[M4R14NO94]

Wait... you can commit SUICIDE in a Nintendo game? Holy sh*t!

[Doommaster1994]

Yes, good influence on kids, don't you think?

[M4R14NO94]

Yeah... 1988 was sort of the year of laziness by Nintendo's censors. Why? A bit of swearing in Bionic Commando (and the exploding head at the end) and the sex scene in Golgo 13: Top Secret Episode

[melsteamer]

Thats not Megaman, the gun is black, it's Bass!!!

[Doommaster1994]

Is this game based off a movie?

[latsblaster]

what an amateur ... if you lose all coins - just go down to the casino and search one of the machines ... you find 25 cent and you can than play - and you will win ... if you´re not winning you look and find another ... simple enough yes? ;)

[narutouzumaki776]

because EVERYONE knows the oldest trick in the book is to get blown up by putting a key into the key slot of a car! it's so obvious! XD

[mrironjaw]

I played the game on an old Mac and I remember being killed by a croc in the sewer. Didn´t that happen in the nes-game?

[applegodzmg]

Oh, yeah.

[Doommaster1994]

Yes, the alligator's in all ports of the game.

[Ashogo]

I didn't hate the game, but it was WAY too unpredictable with some of it's deaths. You die by falling into a construction pit. A CONSTRUCTION PIT!

[BlueKewne]

while I admit it does kinda put a lot of faith in the gamer to know that you have to frame someone and put items in other places and leave some in the sewer, I do love the urban 1930's "Dick Tracy"esque theme.

[IAMPICTUREMAN]

well you frame someone you are the one framed for murder.

[BlueKewne]

I know, I've played this.

[snake2006]

Good, I would rather be scorned than forced to dumb down my intelligence to meet the stupid masses.

[kaihedgie]

Because some people happen to have reading disabilities. Ever think about that, bub?

Again you're bein' elitist. Not everyone can be a genius, but that doesn't give you the right to look down upon them

You may be smart in the head, but not in the heart.

[kaihedgie]

And it is because of that that people will look down upon YOU and disrespect you for who you are, not what you are. They won't care how high your IQ is or how quickly you graduated from school. In the end, you'll commonly be socially scorned because of that attitude of yours.

[selenaisamazing]

Stop being a bleeding heart, commie ass liberal.

[IDarkPaladinI]

Lol @ snake2006, what sub-devision of a ranter are you. =P nobody cares about your IQ or how inhumanly innovative you are or your better than anybody else because your in love with books. At least when your going on a millmif half-hearted piss-rage at it.

Socially burned? Can't take the heat? Get out of the damn kitchen then and leave the cooking to us.

[popsszz]

3:55

:Think they meant "shreds".

[snake2006]

Your just jealous that your IQ can't even come within the same galaxy as mine.

Not my fault, you should have studied harder.

[kaihedgie]

It's not a matter of jealousy, you're just bein' an elitist jackass, the primary reason why people don't like geniuses. Not everyone is born with a gifted mind, y'know. Be more considerate next time

[snake2006]

Damn rights I was smart for my age. My IQ is currently over 150, which is considered genius.

These games were that hard at all.

[dbzelda123]

well then don´t brag about it dickhead

[demoleramera]

well, this game atleast makes you think

[kingofbraves]

1:58 looks like scarface :O

[Rikkudaiz]

where the hell are the police when people are gettin shot punched and mugged lol

[snake2006]

This game kicks ass.

I beat it when I was 8 for christ sakes, without a walkthrough and that was when it came out.

You guys just aren't smart enough to figure the games out. Quite sad actually.

[dbzelda123]

actually you were kind of smart... i´m 16 and i´m stuck in uninvited :(

[Squiglypig]

Either that, or you just had so much time on your hands that you could play through the game on a trial and error basis.

[MiDSinister]

I like this game, and consider it a classic..

But, I do agree with this video. The deaths are kind of rediculous and make you just say.."Really? Seriously? Thats bullshit."

Everything about the game's theme and such I love. The music, the fact that you're in a 1940's-ish Chicago setting, all that good stuff.

[ZeroSabaca]

"It's Megaman !"

Oh lol.

[tbrien66]

Actually, you can get coins after the mugger steals them from you. Just go to the casino and check the slot machine and you'll find a coin in its dish. Playing the machine with your last coin always triggers a win.

[WingmanVWXYZ]

You forgot another death which will happen to a lot of people. The SEWER ALLIGATOR!!!

I encountered him and *SNAP*

Bye bye Ace Harding

He needs to get his 'Ace' a little harder

Poor guy

[WingmanVWXYZ]

This vid is LOL

'' Your fist was too slow, he hit you first"

ROFLMAO

[Minan3]

MAD tv Oprah: Yes! I've blown him up real good!!!

[Classicgamer99]

I remember with the mugger at 2:20 if u hit him i think he just runs away. haven't played the game ina while.

[Ashogo]

you can punch the mugger 3 times, and he never learns. In the end he gets a pair of black eyes and a broken nose from you. You almost feel sorry for the guy...

[blott1978]

Actually you can beat the game without coins, if you take a cab somewhere, and you go to leave, the cabbie will just say something like "We all have hard times, you can pay me later". He will continue to say this until you get coins.

All of the NES games were designed so that you could NOT permanantly "mess up" and make the game unbeatable by throwing away key items or whatnot.

The PC versions on the other hand, weren't so forgiving in that sense.

[KatanaMasterBlood]

Really? I thought if you did that with the cabbie, he would call the cops on you...

[KayTeeArr]

At least with that last death, Ace finally found someone he could shoot and kill.

[lengjaihk83]

SOCKO, bitch!

Next time I punch someone in the face, that's what I'm gonna say!

[lengjaihk83]

oldest trick in the book. duhhh

[Estryke]

Thanks for the vid. I still have the original carts for Deja Vu and Shadowgate(boxed up of course). Anyway thanks for bringing back a good(and pain in the butt) memory!

[KirbyY15]

ace harding is dr. willy

[yingyang2006]

lol i remember way back when i was young and this game came out i played it for a few minutes then i wanted to launch it out the fucking window. i guess i was too young and impatient at the time hahaha.

got to love the fact this ace guy is a detective and if you fuck with anyone you get shot in the face, kind of ruins the whole idea of interrogation.

[IDarkPaladinI]

And one last thing, not ALL people will shoot you if you look at them. The lady's a slut, and the mugger's....well, a mugger. But guys like the newsboy, and the Gunshop owner "HAS a really big stomach", but they won't shoot you.

[zeldafanboy345]

"exam.*points at boobs*" XD
