Diablo + Hellfire

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.

D1 is a true classic and still a lot of fun. The GOG port helps with the resolution. Perfect!

As good now as it was then. Pure distilled GOOD gameplay, exquisite inmersion, infinite replayability, superb progression. I can't stop playing (again)! Thanks guys, this is awesome.

Excellent game. Excellent price. Sure, it's not good as Diablo 2, but comparing gold to diamonds doesn't mean that the gold is any less great; just not diamond great.

You guys have to remember the issue with adding hellfire to diablo. Blizzard North did not like the direction Sierra was taking the game when Sierra Corp made the hellfire expansion. I agree with you that parts of hellfire should be included. The parts that should NOT be included are the crypts and hives. They had nothing to do with Diablo. Now, vanilla Diablo had its drawbacks too. You can not play the higher difficulty levels on single player in vanilla Diablo(that is what this version of the game is). Also there are 3 more classes to play on hellfire(Monk,Bard, and Barbarian). I do agree somewhat that $10 is a little steep for not having the expansion but you have to realize that parts of Hellfire were conflicting primarily with the Lore of the Diablo franchise. I hope this info helps others.
