Vaguely related but mildly funny anecdote, I got into this game really late (basically, when it was cheap). That was probably the thing that bummed me most about D2 and subsequently D3 in that leveling spells after you'd "maxed out" was still something you could grind in D1. There were trainers and what not, but I remember after playing through it trying to create a "godmode" character proper (no trainer) by specifically hunting for tomes to increase spells. I miss this game moreso than probably any others in the series, maybe any game at all outside of perhaps Chrono Trigger. Hope someone else in here enjoys it as much as I did! :) I played for hours each day for a few days straight after I discovered the project in 2015.
The 1.045 release you may still download there (you need to provide a copy of the game's assets in the form of the main CDs ".mpq" data file yourself) is essentially a polished and extended re-make of the original Diablo 1. To whet your appetite, check the trailer ( ) on the (afaik, unfortunately discontinued) mod's website: And IT IS AWESOME! Even if you never tried the original classic, you should probably give this a go if ARPGs in a dark fantasy setting are something you might like. You may be unaware that there is "Belzebub", a "HD mod" for the original Diablo, available today, that taches the original engine a few tricks (besides the obvious 1080p resolution), and also re-introduces a lot of the game's planned content that had to be cut from the final release shortly before the gold master was spun. Good to see plenty of people in the comments experiencing nostalgia due to fond memories of playing this great, great game :)
