Page "Daikatana" Paragraph 13

From very early on in the game's development, Daikatana was advertised as the brainchild of John Romero, a man famous for his work at id Software in the development of Wolfenstein 3D, Doom and Quake.

Time magazine gave Romero and Daikatana glowing coverage, saying " Everything that game designer John Romero touches turns to gore and gold.

" An early advertisement for Daikatana, created by marketer Mike Wilson and reluctantly approved by Romero, was a red poster with large black lettering proclaiming " John Romero's about to make you his bitch ", a reference to Romero's infamous trash talk during gaming.

Nothing else was featured on this poster but a small tag-line reading " Suck It Down ," an Ion Storm logo and an Eidos logo.

Romero would later apologize for the advertisement, stating in an interview that " up until that ad, I felt I had a great relationship with the gamer and the game development community and that ad changed everything.

That stupid ad.

I regret it and I apologize for it.
