This game was obviously based off of a Japanese game. The reason for it to be called Die Hard because of references to the movie. The male character is named Bruno Delinger (AKA Mr. Dynamite) *not* John McClane (though he's based off of McClane). I only played this game the one time at a bowling alley somewhere. Not the best fighting adventure game, but still good.
lol I loved this also but I could not help but think the whole Die Hard connection was kind of dumb I mean the only reason they called it that was because this game was obivously set in a highrise building, I just laff thinking of the prospect of John McClane grabbing a guy by his legs and spinning him round like at 0:27 LMAO!! who cares though it was fun, loads of weapons and moves! ahh good times.
Lol wow...I just watched the first 40 seconds of the vid and...am I the only one who thinks his throw moves are VERY similar to the DOA2 moves? Anyways, cool stuff.
I owned this game. Took me forever to beat, but there's a battleship minigame in the ttile screen that gives you up to 99 lives, and you'll need all of them to win. Die Hard was so over-the-top insane...
@Zenstudent105 uh yea i maxed on lives and went co-op and didnt die much. at the end u and ur partner have to fight each other to use them up. we had about 80. we just turned it off after that.
They used to have this at yogi bear park in the Wisconsin Dells. This might be my favorite arcade game of all time!!! I loved how you could pick up most items and use them as weapons. I want more games like that!!!!
this game had sooo many fighting moves you could do. I remember gamepro mag. released a list of moves you could do when it first came out and it was like over 50 different moves you could do.
you are totally right about am1 btw. they really knew how to tap the saturns potential in graphics. take a look at decathlete/athlete kings and winter heat. amazing! graphics. better than anything on psx back then.
i tremember getting a sega sasturn for x mas think i was bout 11 or 12, and my dad coming in and saying, fuck me the it almost looks real lol. amazing how far graphics have come
It's really exactly the same as the one in the arcade! Theres no difference at all! In South africa we have an old arcade place at Gateway in Durban. It's there and I still have this game for SAT. I've never seen a 3D saturn arcade thats exactly the same as the arcades for Saturn. Only this.
are you sure? because i remember the game handling a little better but then again that could be due to not having a arcade stick and also are you sure that looked the same becuase model 2 was able to handle 300,000 texture mapped polygons where as the sega saturn was only able to handle about 200,000 texture mapped polygons but then again the game might have not took full advantage of the model 2 hardware or it was made the STV platform
i beat this many times as a kid on my saturn remember having to play that stupid submerine game to get continues but now the game looks like the stuff that comes out of my asshole
DUDE thank you for this! I used to have this game and played it like crazy. I love the end where you *spoilers* have to fight each other! awesomeness. I'm gonna try to find this game and buy it again.
same experience, sorta. i was playing mario kart arcade and i almost won, then the "system check, please wait" screen came up, and the game restarted. i was po'ed.
god man... this was & still is a great/fun game... and i say fun meaning like wen you first played mario bro's for the first time and you were addicted =P, anyways if anyone really wants to play this game agian.. theres always emulaters...
ive never played this before but it looks impressive. they could've used this as a blueprint for streets of rage 4 but that never happened or ever will.
uh, you are aware that DHA is the prequel to Dynamite Cop? and the person who made this game (Makoto Uchida) is also responsible for Golden Axe and Altered Beast.
I love this game I remember playing this with my cousin in an arcade. I love this so much I am getting a saturn for my b-day Its one of the main reasons I want it
OH MY GOD!! I absolutely LOOOOOOOVVEEEEED this game... I think I still got it somewhere, now I wanna play die hard with my sister (she absolutely pwnzed at that game)
thank you, you have reminded me of a beautiful part of my childhood...
I don't think mclain would hurt one of the hottest girls in a video game ever (the cute one in the pink dress/skirt with the heels and leather) either.. Well I wouldn't. I'd just stand there going "omg.. wow" then she'd slap me to the ground and laugh. True facts.
Sorry I was "LMAO" at the guy who said "hahaha i remember this game, was awsome!.. i remember playin it with my bro and it crashed in teh arcade and made a relly bad noise.. hha we just ran away from it!"
I did a seach and found this interesting info: Another aborted attempt at Streets of Rage 4 was apparently Die Hard Arcade, a 3D Streets of Rage style game released in the arcades on Sega's S-TV system.
hahaha i remember this game, was awsome!.. i remember playin it with my bro and it crashed in teh arcade and made a relly bad noise.. hha we just ran away from it!
even though it looks like it, DHA has some things, aside from John McClane's similar look to Bruno Delinger (the original name used in Dynamite Deka), some spots in the building have the Nakatomi Plaza logo
Actually, Die Hard Arcade was made in Japan with the title, Dynamite Deka. Dynamite cop was really the sequel to Die Hard Arcade having the title Dynamite Deka 2, which was also made in Japan.
To get to work you first need to (ST-V) bios with google search can than when your done the download you have to put the extract file in your roms file with the actual die hard arcade rom as well
I did that except when I did It came up with this thing saying that your not aloud to play it because I don't Live In The USA. I I live in Australia. Whats Going On.
Actually AM#1 I would say was better known for the gameplay each of there games had which kicked all ass! Some of their games were really graphically good though. You should do Dynamite Cop next, that game was really great.
