This is another one of those budget releases with a great soundtrack. It also helps that the trio of included games are pretty decent, three different flavors of arcade action!
Die Hard is the best of the three: You make your way up to the top of Nakatomi Plaza floor-by-floor, saving hostages and gunning baddies, with the occasional bonus level. Straight-forward and simple fun, and full of budget sound-alike voice clips.
Die Harder is a lightgun game, with PlayStation Mouse support! This is unfortunately one of the smaller set of lightgun PS1 games that is built for the Konami Hyperblaster, rather than the Namco GunCon. If you're trying to play this but only have a controller, have fun pushing the crosshair around the screen with a D-Pad β It's doable, but rough.
Die Hard with a Vengeance is a vehicular time-attack. Race against the clock to take down a set of moving targets before the entire city explodes, all while trying to navigate streets and parks, traffic and pedestrians. This one is hard, barely any room for mistakes.
John McClane runs around the circle of NPCs, selecting his letters one by one.
Also, the way this entire game handles character models is amazing. Every character is built up out of these weird photobashed sprites rigged to 3D skeletons, deliciously jank.
