Played this many years ago and for some reason I seem to remember having a chest in town, but for the life of me I can't find it. I can't even remember how to acquire my first quest. Any information on how to get jump-started again would be much appreciated.
GOG sells Diablo 1, but not Diablo 2. Diablo 1 has no chests in town. In single player, you can leave items on the ground, and they will be part of your saved game. In multiplayer, there is no good way built into the game to save large quantities of items. Quests are added to your quest log by talking to the townspeople. In multiplayer, there are very few quests, and all of them are for you to find a particular enemy and kill it (The Butcher, The Skeleton King, Archbishop Lazarus, The Dark Lord). You can do so without ever being told by the townspeople that you should do it. The only quest with a prerequisite is that you must kill Lazarus before you can enter the level where you will face The Dark Lord.

Thanks for you response. I looked again and the download specifically says Diablo II not 1 so I don't know what happened. All the graphics are of D2 including the music. Just wished that I had a computer old enough to play the discs that I do have, but that won't happen. I guess GOG got my few pennies and see what I can do with this game. As a big game player with D3 and all the expansion packs, was looking forward to going back in history and enjoying the beginning of the game again. Oh well, lesson learned.
What download says you are getting Diablo 2? I am not aware of anything on GOG that says such a thing.
All of the info on GOG is for Diablo 1, not 2. There are no pictures from Diablo 2 on GOG. If you think you saw them from Diablo 2, it was not on this website.

Sorry that you bought the wrong game, that sucks especially if you don't have a lot of spare money. BUT Diablo 1 is a great game in its own right, and with its financial success on GOG we're hopeful Blizzard decides to re-release Diablo 2 outside of Battle.net and here on GOG.

Apologies if I seem a little short about it, I'm not trying to be a prick. If it's within 2 weeks and you haven't played more than 2 hours of Diablo, you could request a refund? That would be your only other option.
