Q1: Buy?
Yes, especially since it's the best "Diablo" game.

Q2: Price?
$8 -- if it includes Hellfire expansion.
Less-to-none if it does not.

Q3: Age?
Flawless running on Win7 without tweaking beyond the install is required.

1-) If it is released on GOG i would buy it immediately.

2-) $5

3-) Windows 7
1. A, if it is on GOG.
2. A, or rather, $5.99. If it costs $10, I would still buy it on the first sale.
3. B or C. I expect to be able to run it on Win7, even if it requires tweaking.

Elenarie: Heya guys, I'm currently writing a technical paper related to Diablo 1. This survey shouldn't take you more than a minute to complete, so please, would you be so kind and answer the questions, if you're interested in the game? Would really appreciate it if you could provide your feedback!
...
Anyways, my head hurts, so please excuse any grammar / spelling errors I've made. Going to bed, will see how this fares tomorrow.
Aaaaaaaaaaand, the results?

The whole thing has been postponed as I don't have time to do it in details. Have this thread bookmarked for when I have the time (way too busy right now).

No problem, I was reading about ActiBlizz then it reminded me of this thread. Keep us updated. ;)

The technical paper was compatibility report, and did this survey to see whether there's interest among the internet users to buy Diablo, digitally and DRM-free.

Was going to send it to Blizzard, but other things like my undergraduate thesis and this are taking my time right now.

Q1: If Diablo 1 was to be released DRM-free, on Battle.net or a third party digital download service, would you buy it?

A: Yes.
B: No.

Q2: What do you think should be the asking price?

A: $5.
B: $10.
C: Feel free to name the price you think is appropriate.

Q3: Seeing how Diablo 1 is a very old game, would you expect the game to run flawlessly on?

A: XP, I would be satisfied it the game runs perfectly on it.
B: I am aware that even Starcraft and Diablo 2, which are newer and more popular games, don't run perfectly on Vista and 7 without tweaking, so I would not expect Diablo 1 to be any better. I accept this situation.
C: I would like to be able to play the game on Vista and 7 without any issues.

Q1: A - Best chances would be GOG.
Q2: A - It's worth $6 for sure. Even with Hellfire, which probably wouldn't be included anyways due to that being a different publisher.
Q3: B - I've tweaked it before. Really basic stuff.
