About this game

Die Hard 2: Die Harder is an action shooter developed by Tiertex Ltd. and published by Grandslam Video Ltd. Based on the 1990 film, it casts John McClane against terrorists invading Washington’s Dulles airport.

Players aim a crosshair quickly across three screens in each of five stages, covering the luggage center, airport annexe, runway, a snowmobile chase, and the wing of a terrorist plane. The final screen of each stage features tougher bosses, while civilians can cross the action and must not be shot.

Defeated terrorists may drop med-kits, armor, grenades, and weapons with greater power or faster firing rates. Players can die three times before needing to restart.
