The game follows the same plot as the movie with McClane stuck in Nakatomi Plaza having to fend of terrorists and stop them breaking into the vault to steal the cash (bearer bonds in the movie). Another top-down shooter but very different from the previous game… but at least you don’t start out in a forest. Released for the NES in 1991, developed by Pack-In-Video Co., Ltd. Perhaps the most (in)famous of the early Die Hard games.

Still, it’s a decent game overall if a little frustrating, full of action and yeah it feels very Die Hard once out of the opening couple of stages and if you put those lazers at the back of your mind. But the whole building is like a huge maze with branching paths and various doors to go through, you’ll find yourself getting lost pretty quickly. It has the same top-down viewpoint and its one of those run and gun type games with you shooting your way through dozens and dozens of bad guys.Īfter you get out of the forest that is not in the film, the game does take place in Nakatomi Plaza and it begins to look a lot more like the flick. I suppose one could compare this to the arcade classic Commando. As I said, the game uses some creative license. The game features various weapons, like a lazer… just not like in the movie and the final boss fight is with an attack helicopter… just not like in the movie. You start the game in a forest… just not like in the movie. While it followed the plot of the movie, it still used some creative licence along the way. Very different from the previous two games we have seen so far with it being a top-down/arcade action title. Die HardĪlso released in 1990 was this exclusive to Japan for the TurboGrafx-16 game developed by Pack-In-Video Co., Ltd. This one is okay, it lacks the depth of it’s DOS bigger brother but certainly playable though. But hey, they got the colour of McClane’s shirt right in this one. Some of the survival elements were toned down to make the game more action-centric but still essentially the same thing as before. No real point in going into details with this one as it’s pretty much the same game as the previous one. But don’t worry, Hans still shows up in glorious C-64, pixel vision. It’s basically a port of the previous DOS game only a lighter version and changed to a side scroller due to the limitations of the Commodore 64. This one was released for the Commodore 64 in 1990 and developed by Silent Software. The game features multiple possible endings from saving the day just like in the movie to Hans getting away with the money and killing Holly too.įor the time, Die Hard was a very advanced game using not just action but also survival ideas to make a highly unique game… tough as nails hard though but if you persevered and learned all the game had to offer, then you would be rewarded with a great title. Many of the films iconic action sequences are represented in the game including the throwing C-4 down the lift shaft, jumping from the roof as it explodes and of course facing off against Hans himself. Take out a bad guys and you could search them too for ammo. You would have to go from floor to floor taking on terrorists as you scoured Nakatomi Plaza in search of items and weapons to help you survive. Strangely though Bruce Willis’ likeness is not used and McClane’s appearance is altered from the movie, he’s not even wearing the right coloured top – but Alan Rickman as Hans Gruber is shown in all it’s early DOS graphical glory. With you playing as John McClane following the same plot as the film with you having to take on Hans Gruber and his men while trying to save hostages.įeaturing early 3D graphics and some EGA renditions of stills from the movie to forward the story. This game was a third person action shooter with some survival mechanics thrown in. The first game was released in 1989 for DOS and developed by Dynamix, Inc. So let’s not dally around any longer, time to take on some terrorists, look at some Die Hard games and ask how can the same shit happen to the same guy twelve times? Die Hard Turns out that John McClane has had quite a long career in video games over the years.

Plus a little digging around on the interwebs brought a whole slew of other Die Hard games to my attention. But then other Die Hard games began to creep into my noodle, games I had played and long forgotten about. At first I thought this was going to be a relatively short article. When I first started to think about this topic – only a few Die Hard games initially came to mind, that NES one, the trilogy thing on the PlayStation, oh and that arcade game. But before then, I want to take a look at the games based on and inspired by the movie series.

Yes I’m still celebrating the 30th anniversary of Die Hard as I’ve been doing throughout this year with numerous articles and I still have a few more to come including offering my own opinion on the biggest topic of every festive season.
