	Daikatana - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Time magazine gave Romero and Daikatana glowing coverage, proclaiming "Everything that game designer John Romero touches turns to gore and gold." An infamous early advertisement for Daikatana, created by marketing guru Mike Wilson and approved by Romero, was a red poster with large fl lettering proclaiming "John Romero's about to make you his bitch".
		Romero's initial game design, completed in March 1997, called for a huge amount of content -- 24 levels split into 4 distinct time periods, 25 weapons, and 64 monsters.
		What Romero had failed to realize was that he did not have an established, experienced team to rely on (see The Mythical Man Month).

		Romero has been a particularly vocal advocate of mobile gaming in general and the Nokia N-Gage in particular.
		This quality development house went belly up because Romero fooled their parent company Eidos Interactive into throwing a stupid amount of money behind Ion Storm and their flagship flop that was Daikatana.
