Buy: Amazon

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 is not particularly memorable, but what is there is good. The music is tuned sharp for some reason. The game lacks credits and the US and EU manuals only credit the staff at Activision, and the Famicom version's manual does not have credits at all, so it is unknown who composed the game's music. Junichi Saito, who was the main composer of Pack-In-Video always was credited for music for their games that had credits, so the music is attributed to him, though more composers were probably responsible for the soundtrack. The game also features Ode to Joy, one of the songs used in the movie. Back then, the music was written in hex code.
