John McClane
The playable New York police officer who confronts the terrorists at the airport.
How it plays
The game presents fixed first-person views of locations from the film. The objective is to shoot terrorists and other hostile targets while avoiding innocent people and surviving each scenario.
Stages are built as short action sequences linked by movie-style presentation. Progress depends primarily on accuracy, reaction speed, and completing the required encounters; it does not use open exploration or a broad character-development system.
Plan your run
Watch the scene before firing and distinguish armed enemies from civilians. Fast reactions matter, but careless shooting can reduce performance or cause failure.
Prioritize targets that appear ready to attack, then scan the rest of the screen for additional threats. Learn the timing of recurring scenes rather than firing continuously.

Die Hard 2: Die Harder is a 1992 action shooter developed by Dynamix and published by Sierra On-Line for DOS. It adapts the film Die Hard 2: Die Harder, placing the player in the role of John McClane during a terrorist takeover of Washington Dulles International Airport. The game uses a first-person shooting-gallery style, with targets appearing across cinematic scenes rather than allowing free movement through a conventional 3D world. Players react quickly, identify hostile targets, and protect civilians when possible. Its digitized film presentation and licensed setting were notable for the period, although reception was mixed because the shooting mechanics are repetitive and the game is relatively short.
