Diamond also markets DVD and video phone kits Red Storm Entertainment, a private company, is tight-lipped about revenues. Headed by Doug Littlejohns, a British Royal Navy veteran, the company was spun off by 3-D technology company Virtus in 1997 and embarked on a strategy of using Clancy's name to sell CD-ROM games by making them high-tech thrillers like his books. The first, "Politika," received a luke-warm reception within the crowded gaming industry. The second, "Rainbow Six," was a hit. "It well exceeded our expectations," he said, noting that more than 400,000 copies of the game have been sold worldwide. As Littlejohns looks at the year to come, he sees a number of other ways to make money on it. With a British developer, the company is working on a Sony Playstation version, and this summer, a company in Salt Lake City should finish work on a Nintendo version. An Australian company will take care of the color GameBoy version. By building on Red Storm's successes in the PC arena -- PC Gamer magazine nominated "Rainbow Six" for a number of annual awards, including action game of the year -- Littlejohns intends to diversify. He said he'd like to see a company that makes 50 percent of its sales in the PC market and 50 percent in the market for consoles like Sony Playstation.
