Anyone still play old Diablo?

Yep, Diablo 1.

Just wondering, as I turned up the disk recently and was wondering about installing it. If I started a game and posted the game name and password to this forum, would anyone be likely to join?

I still play whenever I can find someone to play it with, as it gets a bit boring alone. Unfortunately... I just killed my computer so badly that it refuses to complete POSTing, so it might be a day or two before I can fix it. I'll drop you a PM when it's fixed if you want.

It's hard to go back to Diablo 1 after playing Diablo 2. I did a run through a while back, but I can't be arsed to reinstall.

The original game is a classic, but to be brutally frank its sequel is better in every conceivable way... and that was superceded by other games.

EDIT: Actually, Diablo 2 fails in one very important aspect: the lack of droppable tomes. I used to love building my Sorceror's knowledge in arcane mastery by grabbing every tome I could, even for spells I didn't need (yay Telekinesis...) just to be a better mage.

Yes, I liked to make little designs on the ground in town.

I loved the piles of gold you were forced to make in Diablo 1. I always put it in the centre of Tristram.

I liked exploiting the Gardian spell level quest and completing it so many times that by the time I finally met diablo I had like level 30 in it....

I had been playing the original Diablo since when it first came out. The spooky atmosphere scared me so much that eventualy I gave away the disc. Diablo was the scariest game I played till I got F.E.A.R. It might sound silly but I was little at the time. Being stuck in a dungeon with skeletons and zombies and the creepy soundtrack playing was chilling for me.

Well I have purchased Diablo again and completed the game finaly. But it is not a legal copy so I can't enter Battle.net. If you want to play with me I can play with the shareware version.

I love Diablo 1, and would still play, but my disk is MIA. Level33 Rogue FTW!
