DIE HARD TRILOGY Manual
Introduction
They're intelligent. Highly-trained. And they kill without
remorse. They're a team of vicious international terrorists and
unless their demands are met, hundreds of innocent lives will be
lost. Hostages have been taken. Explosives set. Now, from the
glass-and-steel labyrinth of the Nakatomi Plaza high-rise to the
crowded terminals of Washington/Dulles airport to the mean
streets of New York City, timers tick down the seconds until the
bombs detonate, creating an inferno of twisted wreckage and
mangled bodies.
The situation looks hopeless.
Except for one factor the terrorists never planned on.
Detective John McClane. A cop with the determination of a pit bull
and the bad habit of always being in the wrong place at the
wrong time.
It's up to you to help McClane wipe out the terrorists, find
and free the hostages, and defuse the bombs before it's too
late. You'll need brains, skill, and a little help from some of
the most deadly weapons a cold-blooded terrorist or hero cop
ever laid hands on. Not to mention, the guts to take on
impossible odds and come out on top - or die trying.

Die Hard
Nakatomi Plaza: The Objective
You are in the parking garage of Nakatomi Plaza. a Los Angeles
skyscraper wired to explode. Above you, there are 19 more floors, crawling
with terrorists. They're out to steal millions in negotiable bonds held in the
Nakatomi Corporation's safe, and they won't hesitate to kill hundreds of
hostages in the process.
Now, you've got to fight your way up, floor-by-floor, to the rooftop-
searching hallways, office suites, the grand ballroom and even floors under
construction-killing all the terrorists and rescuing as many hostages as
possible along the way.
Oh, one more thing. Once you kill the last terrorist on each floor, a
bomb is activated. It will appear on your map as a flashing dot. Get to it in
time and you'll automatically move to the next floor. Don't, and Nakatomi
Plaza will be obliterated. So get ready. John McClane is about to begin what
could be the wildest - or the last - Christmas of his life.

WEAPONS
When the game begins, McClane carries only his police-issue

not take on an army. This is his default weapon. It has an infinite supply
of ammunition, BUT after 15 shots, you must fire once more (that CLICK
means, your magazine is empty) before the pistol automatically reloads.
There are more powerful weapons and explosives in the form of pickups,
dropped by dead terrorists or hidden around the levels, Walking over a
weapon adds it to your arsenal. McClane keeps only his pistol and the last
weapon he collected (he simply cannot weigh himself down with too many
weapons). Grenades and other explosives in your arsenal are selectable
before use.

extra lives by saving hostages from execution.

the Ballroom, or meander through temporary partitions on the Construction
Levels. Hide in the boardroom of the Executive Level, or root out the
hostages in the Vault. Wind your way through Nakatomi Plaza until you
reach the Computer levels, treacherous with broken glass scattered
everywhere, home to the strangest, most heavily armed bosses,
surrounded by their henchmen.
If you've been good and rescued the Hostages, you'll earn a bonus trip
to the rooftop. Here, whilst picking off snipers and escorting the hostages to
the escape Chopper, you can gain numerous rewards - if you can find them
before the last Hostage escapes. Yippie-Ki-Yay!

up in the Cross-Hair and shooting them once.
Cola: Will restore McClane's health to varying degrees.
Medical Kit: Can take care of major damage.
LEVELS
The onslaught begins upon your arrival at Dulles Airport's Main Terminal.
Terrorists besiege you from all sides as you blast your way to the Terminal's New
Wing, still under construction, and into the cold, damp Tunnel that runs beneath
the Runway. After a long battle around the jet, you battle your way into the Plane
Interior until you reach the cockpit. If you manage to escape alive, you parachute
into the Church and its surrounding woods.
Make it out of this unholy terror and you'll find yourself engaged in the
high-speed Snowmobile Chase. Slaughter the cold-blooded terrorists as you slalom
through the blinding snow and you're ready to board a chopper.
Your final mission: Plane intercept. If you thought the snowmobile was
a rough ride, just wait until you're trying to target the four jet engines in
buffeting winds at 12,000 feet.
BONUS SCREEN
If McClane flies the unfriendly skies successfully, here's where you'll
see the results. Bonus points are awarded for number of Terrorists killed
to "Hostages saved and remaining health".

Die Hard With A Vengeance
New York City: The Objective
New York, New York. If you can make it here, you'll make it anywhere -
and if you can't, half of Manhattan will disappear in a blinding flash.
This time, it's a gang of terrorists led by the twisted genius, Simon.
They've stashed bombs throughout the city to cover a multi-billion dollar
heist. And Simon says, John McClane is the only one who can defuse them.
But the clock is ticking.
It's a test of your nerves and your driving skills, as you and your
reluctant partner, Zeus, seek out and commandeer more than fifteen
different vehicles, stomp the pedal down and go. Blaze through the
traffic-choked streets of Chinatown in a high-powered sports car.
Scatter some skaters in Central Park, in a dump truck. Grab a cab and drive
it right into the subway system. Whatever you do, you've got to get to the
next bomb and run it over before it detonates. Then, outrun the terrorists
before they escape.

Peel out of Harlem, past that famous New York landmark-
piles of garbage bags on the sidewalk- and get on the Subway System
with its dark maze of tunnels. Look out for oncoming trains! Make it
past the traffic lights of West Side Highway and it's welcome to Chinatown.
The one-way streets are clogged with pedestrians and market stalls, but
you can always use the sidewalks.
Challenge your driving skills in the Financial District as you race through
Wall Street rush hour. When you hit The Aqueduct, an enclosed tunnel brings
you face-to-face with the City's most numerous residents: Rats.
Watch for workmen and jutting pipes until you're on The Waterfront. Survive
this dockside obstacle course and it's the Finale: a white-knuckle chase
with mad Simon himself.
BONUS SCREEN
You drove at top speed through Manhattan, ignoring traffic lights,
pedestrians and public property. You raced down dark subway tunnels,
insanely ignoring the threat of oncoming trains.
Either you're a New York cabbie who just finished an average day's work,
or you successfully completed a level in DIE HARD WITH A VENGEANCE
and you're ready for your bonus points. Points are added for safety margin,
citizens saved, car damage and time remaining.
