Though more enemies appear in each stage, the gameplay remains identical throughout, with practically no variation in weapons or enemy types.Ī surprisingly great side-scrolling beat-em-up, Die Hard Arcade hit floors in 1996, and was later ported to the Sega Saturn and PlayStation 2. The gameplay is extremely simple here, with players simply needing to point their mouse at a bad guy and fire once. Releasing on the Commodore 64 in 1992, Die Hard 2: Die Harder is a static first-person shooter that takes players through the events of the second movie. The gameplay is fairly rudimentary in both, but both versions of Die Hard manage to capture the action movie pretty well, with high levels of authenticity coming from the game's level design. In the NES version of the game released a year later, players control McClane from a top-down perspective. In the Commodore 64 version of the game, players control Bruce Willis' John McClane from a side-scrolling perspective, and navigate him through a series of corridors and rooms. Launching for the Commodore 64 first, Die Hard sees players clear each floor of the Nakatomi Plaza from terrorists.
1990 saw the release of the very first Die Hard video game adaptation.
