Want to get your hands on some authentic SVGA 4-player dungeon-crawling? You can get in on that now with Diablo on GOG.com. Not a later title in that franchise, no. The original Diablo in all its now-grainy glory. It’ll run at a butter-smooth 20 FPS, if you consider running at a very slow rate “smooth,” but it’ll be exactly the game you remember from 1996, which is very useful if you can no longer find your CD. And it’s only $10, so it’s nice and cheap.
According to statements made by GOG, the service will also be hosting other older Blizzard titles such as Warcraft and Warcraft II. Notably absent is Diablo II, which should be fuel for the rumor crowd that there’s a remake of that game in the works; obviously Warcraft III and StarCraft have already received remakes or are in the process of getting remade. But if you want to play the original… hey, it’s right there.
