Die Hard Arcade known as Dynamite Deka (ダイナマイト刑事) in Japan is an arcade beat-em up developed by both Sega AM1 and Sega Technical Institute. It was published by Sega for the Sega Titan Video arcade platform and the Sega Saturn in 1996 and 1997 respectively. It was the last title Sega Technical Institute worked on before that section of Sega was dissolved.
Though the male protagonist (known as Bruno Delinger in the Japanese game) bears a slight resemblance to John McClane from the Die Hard series, the game has very little connection to the movies at all. In fact, the Die Hard license was bought very late within the game's development lifecycle, when the game was almost complete. The game involves having to save the president's daughter from a group of terrorists who have taken over a skyscraper. As well as beat 'em up sections, there are also quick time events which can save the player the trouble of having to fight more opponents.
When released on the Sega Saturn, the game comes bundled with a version of Sega's 1979 arcade game Deep Scan. Each 200 points earned in Deep Scan gives the player credits in Die Hard Arcade. The Japanese release, Dynamite Deka, was also re-released as part of the Sega Ages 2500 series in Japan with updated graphics. Instead of using Deep Scan to gain credits however, Sega opted for an emulated version of their 1968 electro-mechanical game Periscope.
Dynamite Deka was followed by Dynamite Deka 2 on the Dreamcast/Sega Model 2. This game was known as Dynamite Cop outside of Japan. The story would be continued in Dynamite Deka EX, also known as Asian Dynamite.
