About
------
Despite what some angry internet nerds may think,
Die hard for NES is a great game. Argueably one of the
most faithful game adaptations of a film ever made and
boasting some (for NES atleast) unique features such as
line of sight, realtime tracked AI, persistant destructable
terrain and enemy corpses, good script with lines lifted
straight from the movie, randomly generated item
locations and multiple endings for replay value and yes,
foot meter, this game is awesome.

It's far from perfect though and most of the criticism
can be aimed at the games bad graphics.
Despite having some of the best looking digitilized
cut-scenes the NES ever seen, most of the game looks awful.
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.
