This is the front cover of a foreign version (not sure which language). It's a standard DVD case.

This is the side of the DVD case for one of the foreign versions. Crazy language, eh?

Here's the concept material for a digipak version (which we didn't make). If the game was multi-CD we would have put the CDs on the two Daikatana symbols.

The inside cover of the digipak in production. It reads,"This is just a place holder for copy that tells all about John Romero's new masterpiece. This copy is also just here for you to see ...

Here's one of the 2-page ads for Daikatana. I liked this one best. The tagline "Suspect everyone, trust no one" was tired and dumb even back then.

Eidos ran a lot of co-marketing ads back in the late 90's that included their current game's main characters. Like Daikatana's Hiro Miyamoto and Anachronox's Sly Boots.

The box cover of the European version. The box was the kind where the top slid down over the bottom like board games, old Origin and Infocom games. Love that plug by PC FORMAT.
