Well, that's kinda what he did. He formed a new studio, Monkeystone Games, and released the 2D top-down adventure, Hyperspace Delivery Boy, on Windows CE devices, which was pretty well received at the time. Like I said, he took the L pretty well and learned its lessons.

I've played Daikatana GBC. It's pretty good. Years back, Romero released the ROM on his web site as a free download. I suspect ION was pretty involved, at least from a standpoint of making sure the story unfolded more or less as it did in the main game.
