A bunch of Internet dudes have pulled apart the infamous Daikatana and stripped it down to make a multiplayer deathmatch-only version. Romero has given it his blessing. From the README though:

Please note: This is a non-profit, fan made multiplayer modification of Daikatana, and assumes that the downloader already owns a LEGITIMATE FULL VERSION of the game. However, DKDM is modified in such a way where single player maps and music CANNOT be played without files which are only accessible with a full copy of Daikatana.

We're holding off mirroring until we've confirmed with Eidos that it doesn't include any non-free content (which it seems likely to), but if you plain old don't care, download it here.

"lol"

Nice thread mining scuzzy... oh wait.

haha, "fan" made
lolz and roffle

Daikatana... that name rings a bell.

Oh I remember that game!! Good stuff.

Wait did you say Duke Nu.... oh never mind...

I never made it past the s***ty first level where those annoying insects attack you. Did it get any better?

Wait, so... does this mean Daikatana doesn't suck?

No, Daikatana still sucks, but now you cant complain about getting your money refunded.

Me and Dan played it co-op (stupid game only allowed 3 people in co-op) all the way until somewhere in the 2nd act i believe. Then we got stuck in some part where a laser door wouldn't unlock (cause of a bug) and attempting to jump through it killed you.

Up until that point it had been pretty s***. I never loaded the game again.

Multiplayer was worse.

Haha, but remember how long it actually took to get set up? After taking ages to install we went to patch and it was like a 200mb binary patch (huge in those days) that took about an hour to process. Nobody could say we didn't give it a chance :P

dan regardless of all that, I personally still feel you guys didn't give it a chance. I'm just letting you know so you can process it
