Diablo + Hellfire

23 years since it came out... Back in the '90s I was an Amiga user, and I had it all - flippers, races, crazy platform games, strategies, fighting games... All that with great graphics, fantastic music and gameplay nonexistent in most of todays games. My colleagues who had PCs were looking at it all with envy, having only DOS games with clunky graphics and PC-Speaker beeps. Until 3 game series came out: Warcraft, HoM&M and Diablo. Along came better hardware - external GFX and MSX cards. After I bought my first PC, I've spent countless hours on all 3. It's been over 15 years since I played Diablo 1, so I hesitated much wether to buy it in 2019. Especially it was missing the expansion at that time. But I did, at a full price. Yes, it's an old game. Yes, I didn't like the Hellfire locations much (expansion came along as a free addition - great job!). Yes, I almost destroyed my mouse due to extreme amount of clicking. Yes, aiming sucks big time. Yes, inventory is way too small and I'm unable to highlight items (Hellfire brought a spell(!) to do so). Yesterday I've slain Diablo with my Rogue. I am now complete :) For me, it was well worth it. I don't care who remastered it. I'd buy it again, because it still has that feeling, atmosphere and awesome music. A time well spent - sincerely recommend.

Really love this game, the GoG version works fine.

While still undeniably fun it more than shows it's age with graphics that haven't held up too well and gameplay that moves at a slow pace, but there is still plenty to enjoy and saying this as someone whose only just played this for the first time, it's atmosphere is top notch and genuinely creepy. Well worth grabbing for both fans and newcomers looking to see how Diablo started out.

Use to play this on playstation back in the day. First go around on PC. Roaming a dungeon in the middle of the night with my little brother killing monsters. Great memories. Music is STILL awesome. Graphics are typical mid 90's. Gameplay is still pretty good compared to today's dungeon crawlers. This is a good piece of history that any who care should explore.

So basic compared to Diablo 2 but the simplicity works in its favor. It's not a long game either so you can hack your way through in a few hours (and play the higher difficulties via Hellfire if you want more). The atomsphere is still best in class.
