Die Hard is a top-view game based on the movie of the same name. The player takes control of John McLane who has taken a trip to Hollywood to see his wife, Holly, only to find that Hans Gruber and his workers have taken over the Nakatomi Building (Fox Building) and John's girlfriend captive. It is now up to John McLane to save his wife and stop the terrorists. According to one of the game designers Tony Van, this game is rare because it was only sold through a Toys R Us offer during December of 1991.

Music

The game's music has very weird music but at the same time, fits the game. Nobody is sure who wrote the music as the game nor the game's manual mentions the music, sound or audio engineering credit, but it can be assumed that three in-house composers at Pack-In-Video were responsible. Their names are Junichi Saito, Hitoshi Saito, and Masaki Iwamoto. Their names were probably not credited because back then, companies didn't want their staff to be hired by other companies. The credits are also not in the US, European or Japanese game manual. The game also features Beethoven's 9th Symphony Movement 4, Ode to Joy. The music was written in assembly.
