This is ridiculous. Killer7 is a modern masterpiece, not to be lumped in the same category as shit like 50 Cent Bulletproof.

At least they're suggesting avoiding the 300 game.

Deja Vu was a GREAT game on the NES! At first I thought this would be an announcement that it was comming to Wii VC.

Joystiq you make me :'(

I LOVED Deja Vu! For those who do not remember, it was a "choose your own adventure" style of game... not very graphics-intensive, but still quite a blast!

Does anyone else remember the other game released around the same time, that played very similarly?

Shadowgate was released before Deja Vu, and The Uninvited was released after it. They all had the same general 1st person adventure gameplay. God I miss games like that sometimes. :)

Seriously, when I saw that box art I was freaking out that this was going to virtual console. Having said that I should say that Shadowgate, Deja Vu, and The Uninvited were seriously great at working the imaginations of the users, allowing for an unprecedented amount of control for the original NES, and it is nice to see that they are remembered.

Ah Deja Vu... So much fun.

I still have a game save where I move one space and get shot by that thug with two black eyes thanks "Wham!"ing him a couple of times...

Deja Vu is also great for making custom NES carts, as it's a MMC3 cart with battery backup. I had four copies of the game, managed to mangle one, and successfully converted two others to Earthbound Zero and Radia.

And yeah, I really enjoyed the game. I distinctly remember it and Shadowgate, and I always wanted Uninvited. Maybe I should check eBay...

Hey don't lump the entire city of Detroit (my hometown) in with one stupid politician. I'll know to teach my kids right from wrong (for when they play with friends) and use the parental controls on any console that enters my house. And if they ever try to use the "a video game made me do it" defense I will personally tell the judge they are lying.

I didn't catch on to the reason behind showing "Deja Vu" at first and I thought it was going to be one of the games on the list!

Dan: was the other game "Princess Tomato and the Salad Kingdom"? Probably not, but that game was similar and was/is very awesome!

Was the deja vu picture posted because you can kill cabbies in it?(and because of the fact that the news is de ja vu. It works on TWO levels!)

Man that game was ridiculous and awesome.

But just as in real life, if you kill a cab driver, you immediately go to jail... and lose. This is the same as real life because going to jail is a form of losing in reality.

Echoing the other folks here giving mad props to Déjá Vu. LOVED that game. Truly groundbreaking for the NES. Wasn't there a similar game (based on the same engine) that came out around that time as well? (could'a been a medieval-type game).

Maybe there's a list of games that could help Thailand cut down on all of the people going there to have sex with kids.

OMG! I had completely forgotten about Deja Vu. I don't know how many times I woke from that stupor. Virtual Console maybe?
