Die Hard

His hacker, Theo, is slowly breaking the locks into the vault.

It's up to McClain to stop them.

Die Hard for the Nintendo Entertainment System is very different from its other counterparts.

The game is played from a top-down perspective, rather than the 1st-/3rd-person perspective.

There are 40 terrorists scattered throughout the building, and the task is to clear each floor of terrorists.

The stairwell, air duct or the express elevator is used to travel only to Floors 31-35.

These are freely accessible at any time, doing away with linearity, and more floors are unlocked in "Advanced" mode.

At the start of the game, John can only use his fists to deal with foes, but after bringing down some terrorists, several weapons become available, including the pistol, machine gun, C-4 explosives, rocket launcher, and flashbangs, using their weapons against them.

When hit by these terrorists, John loses some life, but it can be restored by collecting soda cans and medkits.

The game ends when all life is lost.

One interesting aspect of the game allows the player to listen to Hans shouting orders to his guards through a two-way radio.

Also notable is the "foot meter".

It starts out full, but will eventually decrease if John steps on shattered glass or runs around at a faster speed.

If the meter is empty, he will walk much slower than with a full meter.

This may have been added in tune with the film, where the main character John McClain's feet end up in pretty bad shape near the end.

Parts of the environments are destructible, most notably vending machines (receive free soda), glass walls and windows.

Not all parts of the environment are shown on the screen all the time - a fog of war appears to shroud nearby areas in darkness.

Die Hard for Nintendo Entertainment System is currently worth €236.44 loose, €435.82 complete in box, and €1394.58 factory sealed. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

Die Hard has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning it trades hands regularly and isn't considered particularly rare.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For Die Hard, loose is €236.44 and CIB is €435.82 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.

The PAL version of Die Hard is currently worth €236.44 loose, versus €214.89 for NTSC-U. Regional price differences usually come down to print run size and regional collector demand.
