There’s something charming about old graphics, I don’t know if it’s because of nostalgia or if it’s simply the smoothness that came from less complicated graphics. I do love realistic graphics, but there’s just something nice about the textured polygons now and then.

it's art style/design. Because developers couldn't really do "realism" they had to create an art style for the game, so sometimes games with simpler graphics look more interesting as a result. Now all triple A studios care about is realism. "You can see the hair folicules!"...I couldn't care less.

Old aesthetics are still overal my favorite, whether it's crispy clean pixel art or cell-shaded stuff that aged perfectly, or weird compressed polygons, it's got so much classic charm. (And you gotta love 16-bit sound in particular) Then I also think games overal were more stylish and had more personality before maybe like the 2010's, they used more tropes/cliche's etc., sometimes it got kinda corny but I love it, especially vs. a lot of modern games that get corny with different tropes instead. + I just love things for exactly how I grew to love them, I'd personally rather go back to a game than play a remaster almost every time. (Besides maybe QoL changes that don't compromise anything to me)

With the initial blast from the heli, I knew we're in for a ride. This is NOT just processing capability, it's for being riddled wih VERY conventional thinking about how to actually create visuals. Expanding a polygon model and rotating it a little bit is something even TRON movie could do. But they wanted to go with swarm sprites, and box mortars lying around in hotel corridors. It's a shame so many people these days always resented games, adn actually just wnat everything to look Hollywood, like saying there's no point in making a door handle from drift wood because plastic is more "up to a modern standard". Or "accurate" to their childlike immersion where seeing is believing. Thy jsut WANT the immersion of diegetic sound design, but can't handle the same for visuals. Didn't have the creativity to enjoy real games, don't have the creativity to invent their OWN name for what THEY want, like visual novels had and carved out their OWN niche without eating up gaming. Unrelated but 6:54, imagine a game like this, only it's inexplicably very explicably set in Canada. Like some Japanese exec just randomly decided that USA is too done, so they just make it Canada like it's NK in Red Dawn.

This game was called Dynamite Detective or Dynamite Cop in Japan.

Not really, it was called dynamite deka, and the sequel dynamite deka 2 was called dynamite cop outside of japan. Basically dynamite cop would be the sequel to die hard arcade!

So I looked up the localization thing. Sega DID own the rights to make a Die Hard game and this was developed with Die Hard in mind but Sega didnt own the international rights to Die Hard which is why this game released as Die Hard Arcade in the west and in Japan as Dynamite Deka, which has different character names. Dynamite Deka later got a sequel called Dynamite Cop which released in the west on the Dreamcast.

I remember this game AND Die Hard 2 the video game, and I believe there was also a third Die Hard videogame too. I remember 2 more than anything because they had Taxi Chase sequences where you had to make your way through the city before time ran out.

Oh man, this takes me back! Back in 2003 I was 19 years old and started my first job as an usher at the local movie theatre.

At its core, Home Alone is about a boy and his narcissist parents both learning the lesson that family is the true meaning of Christmas. It even had the subplot with Old Man ‘Marley’ and his estranged son to reinforce this theme. Both the soundtrack and original score are Christmas themed… I would probably put Batman Returns on the same list as Die Hard though.

The plot of Die Hard wouldn't be possible if it weren't Christmas. The holiday is intrinsically woven into the core of the movie. That's why Die Hard is a Christmas movie.

Low-key one of the greatest Arcade Games of all time. Up there with Gauntlet.

You know, "Batman Returns" is also a Christmas movie!

Thank you for playing this, it was cool to see more of this game having only experienced the demo as a kid!

Got a lot of happy memories playing this game on my uncle's Sega Saturn as a kid. Farming tons of extra lives in Deep Scan, discovering the surprisingly varied moveset by accident (Bowser tossing was my favorite once I learned how to do it), hilariously inexplicable weapon pick-ups (loved me the multiple rocket launcher, but the anti-tank rifle was pretty fun as well), and one very angry football player looking boss who laughs a lot like Barney. An underrated (and wonderfully absurd) gem.

My favorite scene in Die Hard is when John McClain sends a goon down the elevator to Hans Gruber, with a shirt saying "Ho ho ho, now i control the spider robots"

34:52 "What better way to honor the death and resurrection of Jesus than with beating robots with a pipe?" Dan, that's Easter (Christmas is the birth of Jesus).

My favorite Christmas movie that people always forget is The Addams Family. :)

I am so glad y’all are finally playing this absolute gem of a beat ‘em up. Arguably, one of the most unintentionally funny beat ‘em up of all time while also having great gameplay. Japanese name is “Dynamite Cop.” If anyone falls in love with it and wants more, it got a sequel on Dreamcast. If you’re having trouble beating the story, go into the Deep Scan mini-game and play it a bunch. Every sub you sink earns you a continue for the story and you can seemingly do that up to, like, 99.

That wasn't a coelacanth in the aquarium. That was an arapaima. They're found in rivers in the Amazon rainforest. Look them up, they're beautifully terrifying.

7:58 What a damn coincidence that a compilation of them syncing just came out a few weeks ago.

Dan, the death and resurrection is Easter. Christmas is his birthday, hence the presents.

It took 38 days but they finally put the game name back in the title. Hopefully they don't make me reset my counter again!

I'm only familiar with playing Dynamite Deka, the Japanese version on PS2, because of having the Altered Beast mode on there. But no matter which version, it's still a really hard game. Very fun and enjoyable, but it lives up to the "arcade" in the title with how much it doesn't hold back. All the crazy wrestling moves and grab attacks you can perform really make the combat more fun

I remember seeing the arcade cabinet for this in my local bowling lanes. Such a blast from the past!

Idk why, but I love how ever since the 90s toys episode of TMPH, "Take a baaaath" has become a running joke 😂

I love the jacket that reads "Police #2"

My local small town pizzeria had this arcade cabinet way back in the day (prob around 96-98), so this is bringing back a lot of memories. Fun times!

Arin growling "punch time" just fully reminded me of dead rising "chuck time!"

Dan confusing Christmas and Easter is oddly adorable to me

It was made as a Die Hard game, but they only had the license in the US. The Japanese name was Dynamite Deka, & the 2nd game was released as Dynamite Cop in the US. Also the characters name was changed to Bruno Delinger

I haven't seen this game since I shoved money into the arcade as a child but couldn't remember what it was called (due to being a child when I last played it). Thanks for finding it again for me. Weapons were indeed the best thing ever.

The Grumps playing Vagrant Story would be the ultimate CBT torture challenge lmao

When Dan said "Kentucky Fried Kickin'", my face immediately lit up

2:53 - Hahahahah, what the fuck are they shooting? 700-grain .500 Smith & Wesson? 7:53 - Hahaha 10:02 - Perfect 16:00 - Ddduuuuude.... 17:28 - I've never seen or heard about something like this before 29:10 - His joy of finding a new tactic 💖 36:04 - Might be a "Sniper Rifle" cause it looks almost Barrett-y (update: I just noticed the box on the bottom left saying what it is)

Christmas is the secondary plot to Die Hard and Die Hard The Game. They're not Christmas movies or games because of this. Movies like A Christmas Story are Christmas movies because it is the main driving plot and not just the setting. I stand by this till I die. hard. on christmas.

One of my fav games, merry Christmas

This arcade game was at my local Pizza Hut for years. Got replaced with a great Mega Man arcade game where you could play as Zero and Bass, and then the Pizza Hut moved and didn't have an arcade area anymore.

I loved the robot spider part of die hard.

What a great adaptation. Who can forget that time John McClane and his blonde partner beat up a bunch of firemen in a parking lot? It's right up there with that time when Rambo saved that Vietnamese kid from a giant Spider.

A Sega Saturn game on Grumps? Hell yeah!!!

Since they're two characters, it reminds me of Double Dragon. Very weird to have a beat-'em-up be a Die Hard game.

Die hard is a Xmas movie because Xmas is essential to the plot; without Xmas, Die Hard doesn't happen. Xmas is the reason Nakatomi Plaza simultaneously had lowered security from people going away on holiday but also a holiday party that could be taken hostage to force the authorities to cut the power, while also being the reason that John McClane was in the city to be able to stop it. Die Hard also contains many references to the holiday throughout, such as music cues and character names. The intrinsic nature of Xmas to Die Hard is why it (as well as movies such as Batman Returns, where Xmas was the foundation of Penguin's revenge) is a Xmas movie, whereas something like Lethal Weapon, which never really does anything more beyond saying "Merry Xmas" a few times, is not traditionally considered a Xmas movie.
