Before “yippee-ki-yay” became gaming shorthand for chaos, Die Hard (1989) tried to capture the movie’s skyscraper shootout on DOS. You play as John McClane, trapped in Nakatomi Plaza with terrorists to outwit and gun down. The game strips away Hollywood spectacle and replaces it with slow, methodical exploration—less blockbuster, more “search every room for bullets and hope you don’t die.” The graphics are simple, but the tension is there: one man against impossible odds, crawling through vents and shooting bad guys who probably deserve it. It may not shout “action classic,” but it nails that desperate, underdog spirit.
