			Aside from the fact that ''Hostages'' was one of the forerunners of modern FPS games (although in fact in ''Hostages'' it is an over-the-shoulder, third person view in that section), the 2013 game ''Grand Theft Auto V'' has a remarkably similar mission that plays almost like an homage to ''Hostages'' with the helicopter, rappelling down the building, and another player acting as a sniper. It just ends a bit differently (you escape by helicopter). So ''Hostages'' has not just been influential in terms of its general concept, but also with its gameplay details, e.g. the switching between the different characters inside and outside the building to solve the game.
