Classic Game Room HD - DIE HARD ARCADE for Sega Saturn

[Freebrickpodcast]

do you use a pvr for this?

[MRDRIVINGBLIND]

Cool story this actually a whole different game its an arcade game called dynamite deka with the die hard license thrown on it. Therese a sequel called dynamite cop on Dreamcast

[jerryitus]

actually, i tried to get this on ebay after watching your review and its pretty damn expensive

[drewske1984]

I think the controls are very easy, you just have to learn the 50+ moves and combos that are in the game. Its like virtua fighter meets streets of rage.

[Skeen747]

yeah i agree, the reviewer is a little cynical

[va1ova1o]

Love this game so much!

[444glow]

This game is fantastic but its very short.......thumbs up if u agree

[444glow]

i played it in 2001 january..........Memories

[notthesameman]

this game is really fun, i like this game

[Darkie87Henson]

THIS GAME IS AWESOME!!! I remember playing this game. Even though its fun...but then realized we played it for half hour...where we finish the game...

[Ninjucrx]

The game is fucking awesome.But unfortunately the reviewer is such an ass .I.

[DrunkenMasterWarrior]

man, i looove this game!!

[GetchaEdOuchass]

This game was boss back in the day.

[bartdude82]

OH SHIIT! I FOUND IT! Me and my Dad used to play this game all the time in the arcades until it it wasn't there anymore :(

[dg1000]

You should also do Dynamite Cop for Dreamcast, it is like Die Hard Arcade 2!

[dg1000]

This game was awesome when I played it in the arcade! The controls weren't bad, I just had to pump in a lot of quarters when I was a kid.

[StarFoxAutobot]

Why the hell were you attacked by fire fighters?

[NERDONEJR]

The guy in the shower was tooooo funny.

[spockzomb]

looks like thr graphics are ds's graphics

[RickRoller90001]

@spockzomb What'dya expected from a game from 1997?

[volvo145]

maybe review the good die hard game? Die hRd trilogy i mean.

[Hazy992]

i'm gonna buy it anyway cause it's die hard

[ultm8ninja]

Whoa, Shenmue didn't have the first QTE's, Die Hard Arcade did!

[MazterChief1992]

I have amazing memories of playing this game at my local Round Table when I was younger. This and Dynamite Cop are epic fun.

[Niltonjr]

man, it's not fair to look at a 1997 game with a 21st century look,...I played this game a lot when I was 8 years and I had a hell of fun....

[444glow]

@Niltonjr Yes ur comment has explained this game best,,,,,its true its a 1997 game with 2011 looks........good

[809Ollie]

looks awesome

[outragefanpage]

my favorite die hard video game, but then again I haven't played die hard vendeda

[Rapist87]

Fuck this I'm gonna get me a Sega Saturn and send the missus abroad for a couple of weeks

[Dommer13]

absolutely hilarious review but right on!

[phuturephunk]

I totally missed the part in the movie with the heroic rapelling from a helicopter and beating the shit out of guys in green spandex and sandals.

Good to know.

[OJSlaughter93]

A Japanese Arcade Game with Die Hard License stamped on for release out of Japan: easily one of my favorite games ever however: simply fantastic!

[Gameaddict505]

easily one of thebest beat em ups. always thought the controls were fine and it was fun to do sweet grapple moves. if you look online there are quite a few arcade machines for this game out there for sale.

[Sovietassbuster]

Yipi-ka-yei Motherfucker

[TheSleathable]

This is actually a really rare and popular game..it usually costs a lot if you can find it!

[Mitjitsu]

Bad controls? Are you fucking kidding me? You obviously don't know how to play the game.

[siwy2501]

good one!

[shredderific1337]

i used to rent this when i was little... i loved how you beat ass and picked up weapons

[godssonisme]

LMAO. This looks cool.

[SuperLightHorse]

Ummmm robots in die hard?

[crashbang34]

I really want that game back in the hockey arena

[volvo145]

intersting, it would be cool if you did Die HArd Trilogy for eitehr hte saturn or the playstatiion.

[TheeSW20]

I can't believe I actually wanted a Sega Saturn for this game. :D

[Wabloman]

I'd totally forgotten that I'd ever played this, until the part with the completely random Fire engine, and then I was like "Oh shit! I remember playing that!"

[metallicarules1234]

damn that pistol has some kick

[colorzallunite]

YO IF ANYONE WANT TO PLAY THIS ON EMULATOR ON PC HIT ME UP!!!! SO WE CAN PLAY IT ONLINE :) NOT MANY PEOPLE PLAY THIS......

[Onetruthrgv]

@colorzallunite Where can I get this for PC?

[sonic4sale]

Why the fuck are there robots shooting lasers in anything with the name Die Hard?

[jovantheun1337]

Hate to say this, but John McClane's a way better fighter here than he is in the movies...

[RowlandsProductions]

Don't have to pay much? Try 25 Dollars

[LukeMM95]

Those quick-time events are awesome! Who doesn't want to run down a hallway once in a while and punch out some randomer in your path :P

[TyonGera]

God knows how many quarters my friend and I spent trying to beat this game, that old man had some damn bad moves at the end!

[dumriff]

I used to play the HELL out of this game!

[SmoothCriminalAaron]

Goldeneye had a similar problem with bad guys coming out of the stalls.

How many armed soldiers are there in the bathrooms of the U.S.S.R?

[eurekaimgay]

 OWNED at 5:15

[HaloSpartanG13]

I remember beating this in the arcade with a friend...good times. 

[spyder2238]

buddy of mine fired this up few days ago to relive the aweomeness..yippie ki-yay mother fucker

[Wedge4Life]

this game looks hilariously bad....wow! ... i loved die-hard trilogy for psx though... this one looks like shit

[AxelDuel]

Its not a granade launcher you find in the bathroom its an anti tank rifle numb nuts, and if you've played Virtua fighter enough, Both characters play just like Wolf from the VF series. I can literally beat the entire game without even die. You just suck at playing the game.

[SnowNasty]

aint nothing like running down the hallway and straight DUFFING someone out lol & keep it moving, only looking backwards to make sure they are TKO'd lol.

[fareedbakhit]

sega released this game on the ps2 with some updated graphics in the name of dynamite dyko or some thing back in 2006 i think the ps2 is a port of the arcade version ( that is if there's an arcade version though) but still the ps2 version have a mode called sega saturn mode where you play the saturn version of the game with the same sega saturn graphics.

[oRecluse99o]

For anyone looking to play the sequel, It's called Dynamite Cop (dreamcast). It's just as good as this if not better. Sega couldn't call it Die Hard Arcade 2 because they lost the rights to the license by that point.

[Goldstar127]

Well, at least it's better than Die Hard for the NES.

[CyberSpectrumND]

I had this on Saturn. I fucking loved this game as a kid, but I was irresponsible and didn't care care of the disc or my Saturn and now their all ruined. I found this game hard, especially at the part where fire truck would hit and kill me..

[Jshaw71]

@CyberSpectrumND if you have your saturn games still you could always taken them a business that resurfaces cd's, and most of them time they'll look brand new...

[tiga2001]

oh, man, I love the quick-time scenes and the weapons in the game.

[svenneri]

He throws the weapons at enemy's when he runs out of bullets, what if the bad guys have full magazines???

[Z3llix]

I was looking on ebay to sell my PAL saturn copy and I was surprised to see no PAL copies on ebay right now.

[magikpaul]

@Z3llix why would you sell such a beauty? :(

[Bruno1986BR]

That's cool, but they could also make Streets of Rage 4 in 3D. That would be awesome.

[ninjas121]

I remember playing this at the arcade it was fun to play. The quick time events where ahead of its time. it also had a Co-op great game.

[moonlightknight9]

You said that you can get this for very cheap but i looked on ebay and the cheapest copy i can find is 25 bucks. :( is there any place that sells them for next to nothing or should i just buy Dynamite Cop for Dreamcast instead? xD

[JoostRevo]

@moonlightknight9 This video was made over a year ago. The prices could go higher

[XxsinyxxX]

And who doesn't remember the fire truck scene just before the robot battle in Die Hard?

[skarvika]

this is a great game and you are a dick

[Poonard]

Nahhh...the Die Hard VHS is preferable haha

[dgenerate707]

damn they so need to re-release this on XBLA he punch the shit outta her.

[kombatmaster12]

Best arcade game ever.

[kidd912thomas]

Dude!!! You punched a girl!! And why was that guy in his underwear using the toilet....lol

[barrottes]

only one problem....too damn short.

[chrisz5z]

never played it on the saturn but in the arcade it was awesome

[Shendue]

The controls suck? of course they do, genius, it's supposed to be played with a friggin' ARCADE STICK. Also, don't blame the game if you suck.

The bizarre things that weren't in the movie are due to the fact that: 1- This is actually a porting of the japanese Dynamite Deka with Die Hard license slapped onto it. 2- DD was actually a pretty over-the-top, not-so-serious game.

In fact, the only complain i have with the game is that it is short as hell.

[luckytrifle]

@Shendue Actually because I had this game and the arcade stick controller, the controls still sucked with that. It's just a design flaw of the game that the characters move Virtua Fighter style when there's so much need for freedom of movement and quick reaction.

[Shendue]

@luckytrifle: In fact, all people i know that played it never had a complaint about the controls.

[SaucyBegger25]

this guy don't know shit this is a awesome game and I'm even playing it right now and it still feels as good, oh yes I've got the old Saturn out and I'm having more fun that on my xbox 360 or ps3

[mawkcc]

Dynamite cop is way better than die hard for saturn

[dziltener]

I loved the Dreamcast sequel to this, so I'll try this one, too. I just love the (unintentional?) humour. Ever killed someone by throwing cake at him, or released a nuclear weapon in a dining room? ^^

[nullwii]

*not based on the die hard movies

this game is unrelated, it was called dynamite deka in japan and brought to america with the die hard licencing

[THEXBOXICON]

5.15 

[geeseSNK]

i hav dynamite cop for dreamcast. this was a coin-eater back in the day at the arcade tho lol

[DJSIQRIQ]

The guy talking sounds like a robot.... "He. Talks. Like. This."

[MyNeighborJess]

Controls for this game were great! It had a great move list, large variety of weapons to pick up and was insanely addictive! Dynamite Deka rocks!

[outragefanpage]

I miss sega

[outragefanpage]

this is the best die hard video game ever!!!!!!!!!

[HolidayMell]

The guy reviewing this game never got to experience this game in the arcades. The game was an awesome in the arcades. Great Co-op arcade fun & the quick time scenes were epic

[HolidayMell]

THis game was so kik ass. I use to play this in the arcade. It took all my quarters until I ran out. I eventually beat it when I got it 4 the saturn, because of the mini game that got you all the continues

[MASOFENT]

You forgot mention Deep Scan :( .

I own this game :)

[G0nard231]

I've been trying to find this game and it is IMPOSABLE

[Neutral1]

I want this game so bad I'm ultra virile for it

[PriusRider]

play deep scan! ^^

[jlong908]

this is the only arcade game i have ever beaten best 3 dollars and 50 cents i have ever wasted

[prectec]

what are you talking about! this game was ace just like dynamite cop

[SomaAkaruz]

i loved this game for my saturn,played it over and over

[xMikeHaggarx]

STILL my favorite beat-em up!! :)

[enginenum1]

the bathroom area was always my favorite part.theres a sumo wrestler and karate masters hiding in the bathroom stall?really?thats just so awesome.

[MustardLung]

I thought that RPG was a TV :|

[HereMikeWas]

I love this game and will never trade nor sell it! It Rocks!

[PeterBParker]

"yippee ki yay, mother fucker!" at 1:26 - 1:30 haha.

[MrDonkeydong155]

Wanna REALLY Die hard!?

Take some viagra with your suicide pills.....Eh?....EH?

Aw...

[PeterBParker]

@MrDonkeydong155 haha that or the AEA approach, but i strongly wouldnt recommend it....

[MultiCool55]

whoa those robots you have to fight must be hard as crap XD

[stomkieken]

i never got past the firetruck :(

[hanchiman]

Its a good fun and good laugh playing with a friend or stranger in this game, especially in the ending fight.

[Tphras12]

makes me wanna play these games. that along with dynamite cop and zombie revenge :D

[johnnyjohnson]

LOL @ 3:55.

[dogeymon83]

There's a total clone of this game on Dreamcast though. I forget what it was called.

[MikamiPro]

@dogeymon83 Dynamite Cop (AKA Dynamyte Deka in Japan) All great games in their time.

[dogeymon83]

@MikamiPro - YEAH! Dynamite Cop! I actually own it. Played it once and that was all I cared for.

[travisuped]

Man, I forgot all about this game. I used to love it. It's so silly, but it's still fun.

[eMGeeGFX]

This was a short, but very nice game! I loved the interactivity, the controls (sluggy, perhaps, but still very playable and nice; especially with two players) and the environments!

[bleedingxxaurora]

Used to have this for my Saturn.

I still have the Saturn though, definitely going to pick this game up.

Unfortunately it costs 25 bucks at the cheapest that I've found.

[makman13]

LOVE the running bitchslaps followed by slomo replays. Absolutely hilarious!

[JayMezzy]

control isn't that difficult...c'mon man

[eggfooyung2go]

Jesus, the memories!!

[iTzOvR9OOO]

after the begining scene im buying this game thanks CGRHD!

[Carbon657]

i used to play this alot when i was a little girl

[foosackly]

LOL at 5:15

[ninotimecrisisfan]

this game is the best beat em up on sega saturn and it still fun to play. good times and i thing this one have some things of double dragon for example you can pick weapons just like double dragon , the final chapter when you are playing co op you must fight with your friend when you defeat the last boss so this game is just like double dragon but a little bit diferent anyway thanks of the review

[xanyleon]

I remember this game having great potential but being waaay toooo short.

[me1ne]

you fail to mention the submarine game that let you earn credits... also I was addicted to this game for quite some time, was so proud when I got to the endboss with only 2 lives.. ah good times

[Rewcasel]

1. This guy sounds like vinny caravella

2. What a terrible review

3. This game is awsome

[markgobucks82]

The reviewer is a doofus, this game is a classic.

[Xegethra]

@markgobucks82 so? that doesnt mean he has to like it. he has a mind of his own you know, and he uses it

[macdaddymario]

Shame you didn't state that the game was not based off the movies seeing as when it was in Japan it was a totally different name. When they brought it to America, they changed the name to cash in on the Die Hard name.

[marqwill1124]

LOL at him getting body slamed by some random guy in tighty whiteys..

[shok2death]

look's like mel gibbson to me!

[timbodaclown]

The arcade game had better controls

[weichiang]

LMAO as 5:15!

Punching a random lady muahahahahahahahahahahah!

[toastedtesticles]

not bad... the graphics r alot better than the Die Hard Trilogy game on the PS1.

[warrior1222]

i played this when i was a boy

[xanyleon]

@warrior1222 I played it when I was a girl ;) *jokes*

[TheSmithy96i]

the best DIE HARD game iv played is DIE HARD TRILAGY on the PS

[THISISFOOD1]

they made a die hard fps shooter 4 the playstation2 called die hard with a vengance cgr hould review it

[zabagigant]

i remember this game

i lay this in arcade automat

[omegablake]

Heh, I got a sweet deal on this arcade cabinet on ebay. Gutted it to use as a MAME cab though :P

[shinjikusa]

i have gotta disagree, this game is amazing even on the Saturn's some what odd controls. Mr. Reviewer, if it's mainly the controls that bother u, try with the Saturn arcade stick. I originally got hooked on this game in the arcades and don't remember so much of a problem with the controls so maybe you'll realize how great it is then.

[nviso209]

Nothing says LOVE like a GRENADE LAUNCHER in a BATHROOM!!!

I loved this in multiple movie theatres... You have to play it very timely and go w/ the AI delays or you get your ass handed to you as John Mclane did not... LOL

Also it is a 90% port of a japanese dynamite cop game and it runs like complete SHIT on an emulator so I should have tons of fun w/ it once I get an AR for my JAPAN model Saturn... Mark is AWESOME!!!

[Cudamine]

THIS IS THE BEST SATURN GAME. EVER. I used to play this with a friend back in the day, this game is like the sole reason our friendship worked out.

[goldensolder44]

wow ! john mclain fights like an asian dude

yippie yo ki yay & a gung hay fat choy

[ArcadeGames]

There was a guy in his 8 bit underwear that came out of one of the stalls...lol

[jjvictor66]

yppie kay ey mdfk

great game indeed

[leoviper]

my god, this game is hilarious lol

[ninotimecrisisfan]

Die hard arcade is better than Dynamite cop

[mlurz4957]

lol I remember this game in the arcades lol awesome game,

[CapitanFortuna]

fantastic , i love this game when i'm a child

[karadanianoI]

the first time i saw this game in the arcades i get in love with it

[partylikepacman]

My understanding is that the original Die Hard Arcade is Dynamite Cop and the second one released as Dynamite Cop here in America is actually Dynamite Cop 2. I actually purchased Dynamite Cop 2 for Dreamcast thinking it was sequel. Only to find they are the same game, I agree but none the less this game is a classic. Not because it is even any good just that it's crazy!

[DeezNuttz760]

@ partylikepacman

Actually, the original Die Hard Arcade is Dynamite Deka. The sequel, Dynamite Deka 2, is Dynamite Cop in America. That's strange if you purchased a "Dynamite Cop 2".

[MetalMario03]

Love this game, remember me in the arcade, with a pocketful of quarters. Anyone know which version is the best?

[djklink20009]

i remember back around 2000 trying to find this game in the shops was rare i think i played the demo for ages before me and my friend actually found the game and bought it and even then it was not cheap because it was rare to be found in shops and we never had the internet or even a credit card to buy it online

[g1Chase357]

This game rocks... on the Dreamcast!

[RedComeXIII]

This game was bad to the BONE back in the day. Took so many of my quarters as a kid. This game was actually called "Dynamite Cop" in Japan but when they released it here in America they decided to give it more marquee value and call it Die Hard Arcade and make the main guy look like Bruce Willis. Sweet game. Never got past the Fire Truck in the Parking Deck though.

[djklink20009]

i always thought dynamite cop and die hard arcade were two different game stories the levels are different i know that much and yeah on die hard arcade i never got past just after going down the elevator

[RedComeXIII]

I was slightly wrong. Dynamite Deka was altered slighty, namely the building and the main character being changed to John McClane. Dynamite Deka 2 was later released internationally as Dynamite Cop.

[jupreindeer]

Did the movie even have robotic spider gunnery centurions? And, why is there a nearly naked guy in the bathroom?

I don't understand the logic of this, programmers?

[ThePersianTanz]

the fighting could be really fun if you knew the combos and this reviewer clearly didnt, there was this move that i remember where you held the guy from the ankle and spin around then throw him to other enemies and a couple of other cool combos i played this with my friends alot.

[247xGAMER]

this game makes "Fighing Force" 1 & 2 look like shit

[clay180]

I hope you all know this game is just some Japanese game reskinned. It has nothing to do with Die Hard. Do you remember the long white haired guy with a beard in Die Hard?

[DanteDMCry]

.........................yes? :p

[Cooter3422]

I actually had a lot of fun on this game on the SEGA Saturn at the time! Sure, ok, it was really short, but it was fun all the way, and not actually that bad for 30 frames per second! :-)

[Kitsushika]

oh man i lost so many quarters to this game, its soooo much fun

[Cainzgamez]

thears enother die hard game on the gamcube

die hard vendetta

[gaborsama]

Hilarious review as always. I am, however, one of the beat 'em up fans you mention and I do love the game :)

[MrSuperKing1]

yeah I remember this game, played it a lot, though t was crap. Still loved it ;P

[Teufelsnachbar667]

THIS GAME WAS SO AWESOME!

[BlueSeez]

Punching Random People in the Hallway FTW..!!

[frickfrock999]

HOLY CRAP!

Dynamite Cop for the dreamcast is this exact same game, seriously, look it up!

All they did was change the skins...

[notorious0001]

frickfrock999: Dynamite Cop was actually the sequel to this game. Although they do look exactly the same.

[bgasman]

I played this game for the Sega Saturn, but this is a classic!

[jangofett0990]

No It isnt the best action movie !

Mortal Kombat 1 is .

[beanenator]

never played the saturn version but i remember wasteing alot of quarters on the arcade machine!
