Diablo is one of the most influential computer games of all time. Unlike most other RPGs from that period, this game is still quite accessible to modern players thanks to a superbly designed (for its time) user interface, although the gameplay itself is pretty slow-paced. The gothic horror atmosphere of the original Diablo is unlike any other game in the genre. In contrast to other modern action RPGs, this game is built around the experience of individual playthroughs instead of endless endgame grinding for better gear, so it might appear a bit shallow to some by current standards. The GOG release solves some of the technical problems the game has on modern systems through a number of band-aid fixes, and it's pretty much the best thing we can get until people at Blizzard finally decide to patch the game properly themselves.
