Play True Lies Online
Dive-rolling through gunfire as pixel Arnold, torching bad guys with reckless abandon—just try not to barbecue the hostages while you're at it. That flamethrower's basically a war crime in cartridge form.
True Lies on the Sega Genesis, released in 1994 by Beam Software, was one of those licensed games that felt like a genuine attempt to capture the spirit of the film. It arrived during a time when the 16-bit consoles were pushing action games forward, and this one tried to stand out with its mix of run-and-gun shooting and light puzzle-solving. You weren't just getting another generic movie cash-in; it had its own ideas.
You control Harry Tasker, moving through levels screen by screen to dismantle a terrorist plot. The main objective is straightforward: shoot everyone in your path, rescue the hostages, and find the exit. A few mechanics define the experience, like using a limited flamethrower to clear rooms or a grappling hook to access higher platforms. The pacing is relentless, and the difficulty can be punishing, especially with the constant enemy fire and the need to manage your special weapons carefully. It feels chaotic and demanding, a test of both reflexes and resourcefulness.
