This is one of those games that everyone should at least try to play...and end up playing until you forget what time it is. There are only so many games that really revolutionized video games. Diablo did this ahead of the curve for role playing and set a benchmark that game developers keep going back to. One of the best things about this game is how simple the idea is BUT with an added concept that you can kill your foes in different ways and improve your game play and skills at the same time...speaking of skills this one has such a nice volume of differing elements. The only thing I can say is go and pick up a copy of this classic at least for the nostalgia, just keep an eye on the clock as you ight see the sun rise while your playing :)

Diablo was one of great games in its day and may represent the pinacle of isomorphic action RPGs. It is simple to learn (a 4-year old can play it), a has a random level generator that keeps the game a challenge for a while.

Diablo's network play was one of the first games that I found to work well, even on a modem. There were occasional clipping problems but nothing to severe.

The game keep you interested way beyond what was reasonable because of it being a collector game (try to find the best equipment.)

The biggest draw-back of the game was the limited number of monsters and levels and the huge number of cheats and hacks that ultimately spoiled online play.

    Diablo is a simple RPG made by Blizzard, in 1996. The premise of the game is very simple, explore the depths of the church and kill all the monsters. Yet, the game manages to be very complex and satisfying, because the n... Read Full Review
