Retro: PI game

Hi,

A long time ago (around 1988) I played a game on the Mac.
You were a Private Detective and during your investigation you had to
travel a lot, one of the destinations were Las Vegas I believe. From
time to time a thug popped up and if you did not defend yourself you
were killed.

If anyone recognizes the game on my vague description I would like to
know the name of it. A bonus would be if anyone knows if it is available
today and where, and if so if is it converted to the PC since I
converted many years ago.

I think it was called "Deja Vu".

It is most definately Deja Vu 2: Lost in Las Vegas (2nd in the Deja Vu 
series)

A whole group of similar games were put out my Mindscape in that time 
frame. Univited was the first, then Deja Vu, then ShadowGate,  then DV 
2. I own them all, and they actually still run (if i remember correctly.)

What great games! Not sure on where to get them, or how many of the 
titles are/where available for PC, as I had the Mac versions.

Hope that helps at least!

I have the Amiga versions. Uninvited is one of my favorites.
