Hack description

Despite what some angry internet nerds may think,
Die hard for NES is a great game. Most of the criticism seems aimed towards the games poor graphics. This hack aims to rectify that by redesigning most of the
games graphics and also the difficulty has been lowered
abit by adjusting some key values for better balance and fun.

Almost all graphics including sprites, UI and hundreds
of background tiles have been redesigned to make the game
look better and for the levels to be less confusing

Text now have a new font and a couple of script edits

Gameplay:

Time limit per lock is now 5 minutes instead of 4

Health powerups now gives 5 points instead of 1

Line of sight tweaked in a few areas

Makes Die Hard worth playing	TeeGee	2024-03-06	Version 1.0
Die Hard on the NES was way ahead of its time, but its execution left a lot to be desired. This patch takes you to an alternate universe where the game lives up to its ambitious premise of a survival/stealth shooter.

Transformative.	bgrunge	2020-04-12	Version 1.0
This turns a game that I had thought was mediocre into something genuinely fun. I wouldn't have thought that a graphical overhaul could affect the gameplay so much, but it does. Everything seems much more clear and intuitive now. The health increase is definitely appreciated as well. As a result what was a prior exercise in frustration and confusion is now a fun time running around Nakatomi Plaza offing baddies. The atmosphere is now spot on too. Highly recommended, don't play Die Hard without this patch.
