Well, you wouldn't, really.  If you're talking about Deja Vu II from
here:
http://www.whatisthe2gs.apple2.org.za/the_fairway/game_pages/deja_vu2.html
then it needs to run under GSOS.  That web page has a hard drive image
you can run under most GS emulators that will boot GSOS and also the
game.

Incidentally, to format a 3.5" disk to boot, you need a ProDOS
utilities disk.  You use the utilities to format it, then copy PRODOS
and BASIC.SYSTEM to it - then it becomes bootable.  But there's no
built-in "INIT HELLO" sort of thing in ProDOS land.
