Looking for an Ad - Die Hard Trilogy

[mDt]

I recently moved and in the shuffle of things to keep/things to lose, I mistakenly got rid of my big box of old GamePros and Sega Visions. Now that I know sites like this exist, I'm kind of kicking myself over it. I'm trying to reference something for a friend of mine but I can't find the ad anywhere on the internet and I know it existed as I had cut it out of one of the magazines.

There was an advertisement for Die Hard Trilogy, I believe showcasing it for PlayStation 1. It's not the ads already on the site (The "Prepare to get your mind blown" ones - not that). This one shows a guy in a Poloroid picture dressed like John McLane and he looks all burned and cut up, and on the white part of the picture-square, there's writing explaining that he was a stunt double or look alike. I think the whole ad was centered around something like "There's only one John McLane" or something. I'm looking for a good scan of this ad. All I know is that it was in GamePro and it was sometime around 1996 when the game came out. Can anybody help me?

I know the ad you're talking about. I'm not sure if I've got it or not, but I'll take a look through my collection and see what I can find.

Also, is there a spot in this forum where I can just look at old GamePros myself in a PDF or CBR format or something? I've looked the site over and all I can find is the gallery which seems to be mostly covers and people saying on the forum that some magazines are available but I have no idea where. Can anybody direct me to a link or something if I can just find it myself? I'm kind of lost as of how the site actually works.

mDt, you've unfortunately stumbled into Retromags at a time of great transition, so there's a lot of stuff that isn't working/available at the moment but that will be soon. Doubtless you've noticed the tabs up top for Magazines, Games, and Strategy Guides don't do anything at the moment.

This thread is kind of serving as a backup for a lot of the content that isn't available right now, so that's where we're steering people who want to download at the moment:

There's a ton of old GamePros archived there as well as a lot of other stuff. That should hold you over until the Retromags 2.0 redesign comes through.

I remember this ad. It's something like John McClane #618273 or something.

The more I think about this, the more I think it's not an ad for the original Die Hard Trilogy, but an ad for Die Hard Trilogy 2: Viva Las Vegas. More research required to confirm...

Yeah. I checked every Gamepro around that time and only saw the usual Diehard ads. None like the one described.

I could've sworn it was the first one, but maybe you're right?
