Diablo + Hellfire

Ignore everyone saying this costs too much. Porting and formatting an old game to play on modern systems isn't cheap. I'd be surprised if they were making any profit off of it with this low price. Everyone that played this game when it came out is probably in their 30s, Lets stop acting like we're broke teenagers. It's an amazing game and it's worth every penny.

Diablo is the pioneer in the ARPG-Dungeon Crawler genre, it's a blast to play, but It is not for everyone, In a technical level the games is clunky and kinda slow paced. So it's probably that you wont't enjoy it as much as you should, mainly when there are modern titles that play better. But this is still a classic, so maybe, just in name of Gaming history may worth a try.

Back in 1996 I purchased Diablo for $50 at Babbage's; as almost everyone agrees it was an amazing game at that time. Seeing it on GOG, I rushed to buy it again for $10. The game was worth every penny of that $50 in 1996 The key question is whether the game is worth $10 now. As others have noted, the game is simply the 1996 Diablo configured to run properly under modern operating systems-there are no real improvements or meaningful new features. As such, the game is as good as it ever was; but gaming has obviously progressed dramatically since 1996. Because of this, new players who know only modern games will probably find the graphics laughable and the game play rather clunky. That said, Diablo is still a solid game if one can look beyond the wall of time and enjoy the game for what it is. To use an analogy, games like chess, Axis & Allies, and Risk are still fun even though they are old (and chess is ancient). For old players who remember Diablo fondly, that $10 can be well spent--playing Diablo through the haze of nostalgia can take you back to those good old days. This is analogous to buying an old record you used to listen to, or watching old episodes of a TV you used to love (like the X-Files). Who cares how well it has really stood up to the ravages of time when it can make you feel the joys of the past? In closing, one way to look at buying Diablo now is to think about what you would do if someone offered you a mint condition high end gaming rig (loaded with Windows 95) from 1996 for 1/5 of the original price. Sure, you could actually buy a pretty good modern PC for that same price...but think of the memories that might awaken when you see Windows 95 boot up. Of course, if you have no memories of that, the PC would just be an expensive purchase of something that was awesome once upon a time and your money might be better spent elsewhere.

Still as good was waiting forever thanks a lot

When Diablo was first came out back in the 90's, My PC was not quite up to snuff but, I wanted to play it so bad that I went out and got a whole new PC just so I could play this game. Almost 20 years later, I still feel that thrill booting the game up and beginning to descend the depths of that dungeon. In many respects, the game has not aged well, the movement and combat feel clunky and unrefined compared to more modern games. The graphics no longer have that wow factor they once did either. The fun factor is still there for me though. Yes, part of it is nostalgia fueled joy but the game is honestly, still a good game despite the limitations. It is nice to have support for better frame rates and higher resolutions. The only wish I have is that there was a widescreen option available. Yes, it would further distort the dated graphics but, it would be a nice to utilize my full screen real estate for the game. If you've never played the original Diablo, you should. It is the progenitor of all great ARPGs that came after it. Is it perfect? No, not by a long shot. It is however, still a worthwhile experience for both old timers like me and new players alike.
