[edit] Die Hard
Die Hard is a third-person shooter, with a camera and controls that recall games such as Tomb Raider. It sees the player battling terrorists and rescuing hostages in Nakatomi Plaza, the setting of the film. A N64 version known as Die Hard 64 was planned but it was later cancelled[citation needed].
[edit] Die Hard 2: Die Harder
Die Hard 2: Die Harder is presented as a rail shooter, in which the player must stop terrorists who have taken over Dulles Airport. The game featured a code "RUDS" (acronym for right, up, down, square) that allows the player to change edit the map of the different game levels.
The player's crosshair could be controlled with a gamepad, light gun, or (on Playstation and PC) a mouse. Die Hard Trilogy was one of the few light gun games available for the Playstation that was not made compatible with Namco's Guncon/G-Con 45 controller, nor can it be played using Guncon 2. On that console, the game requires one of the later Playstation light guns that feature "Start" and "Special" buttons in addition to the classic Guncon 3 (trigger, "A", "B").
[edit] Die Hard: With a Vengeance
Die Hard With a Vengeance has the player driving a taxi on the streets of New York City frantically trying to reach and defuse bombs before they can go off.
Die Hard Trilogy was considered such a success that it eventually inspired a sequel of its own, entitled Die Hard Trilogy 2: Viva Las Vegas. This sequel retained the three different playing styles, but featured a spinoff storyline that was not connected to the movie series.
