They used to have a Die Hard Gemer's Club store in Manhasset, Long Island, NY. I lived about 25 minutes away, and I'd take a drive there often. It was so cool, there was a giant Monitaur bursting through the wall near the back of the store. They had TONS of imports for all sorts of systems, import Japanese gaming mags, back issues of Gamefan, toys, you name it. I bought my Hori Fighting Commander PSX pad there, not to mention some cool-as-ass Darkstalkers keychains. Damn, I miss that place...I miss Gamefan...the end of an era, it was, when that magazine bowed out. :(Quote:

Gamefan had a Die Hard store, here in Dallas. It was the best import store in this city. I was really bummed, when they closed that store. It was cool to go into that store, and see Playstation and Saturn Import games being played on a big screen T.V. I remember going into the store one day, and seeing some guys playing Resident Evil, on an import Playstation. They had so many import games, that never seen the light of day here, in the US. I never did see a Die Hard Gamefan shirt there, though.
The T-shirts are probably never gonna be on any of our backs.
:(
HOWEVER, since GF no longer exists, it may be posible for someone to have some DHGF t-shirts made up privately. Last time I checked, Express.com owns GF, but it shouldn't be a problem if GF is a nonenity.
All you need is:
a) A copy of the image that is on the original T-shirt
b) Access to a decent t-shirt print service- they aren't uncommon businesses, check your yellow pages.
c) Money. I doubt it will cost too much.
Why not just print it on some of that iron on transfer paper? I've done that with a few pictures I drew. I scanned them at 300 res. and it looked really good once transfered to the shirt. But it looks like shit once you wash it a few times. :(Quote:

Hey dolemite, ddin't know you were a fellow NYer! :) I, too, used to frequent the Manhasset store and miss it SO much...I remember first trying to bring my brand new Japanese PSX to get modded (when I went to pick it up, they said forget about the mod LOL). I bought my Japanese N64 the day it came out there..I also remember that Monitaur in the back! I also bought my Mega Man:the Wily Wars (Euro version not Jap) and a Snatcher soundtrack there...I also got those DarkStalkers keychains too! They were really cool in there and there was this one Chinese guy I was really good friends with in there...And, by the way, I actually got one of those shirts! I think my sis has it..I'll see if she still has it....Man, I really miss that store now *sobs in the corner*
Dude! Where in NY are you? Are you on LI too? Yeah, I so miss that store...I remember when I realized something was wrong...I called there one day to see if they still had all those back issues of Gamefan, and the number was disconnected! I was like, WTF? So one Saturday I got up early and drove there, and...it was GONE! Nooo! *sob* Yeah, I had picked up a few soundtracks there as well. They had several different t-shirts there...if I hadn't been stupid and believed that Gamefan (and thus, the store) would be around forever, I would have stocked up on 'em. I also remember that they had these foot-tall Darkstalkers figures...damn, I wish I had gotten them too... :(Quote:

... Die Hard Trilogy was a cool game...
:rolleyes:
I loved the driving section of Die Hard Trilogy...I would crack up laughing every time I'd drive onto the sidewalk and squish all the people and the blood would get all over the windshield and the wipers would wipe it off...evil fun. :evil:
