The expansion pack was developed by a different company and while it adds new levels, monsters, classes and spells to the game, I never felt the need to play this expansion. This CD does not contain the Hellfire expansion pack. Both of these are not used anymore, but there are tools to emulate IPX connection via TCP/IP (for example IPX Wrapper), otherwise 3rd party applications like Tunngle can be used. Apart from that, this game can also be played over LAN via Modem connection and the IPX protocol. There were 0 listed games to Join, in case you're wondering.

I tested this during my writing of this review, and I was able to log into US West gateway with no issues and Create a game.

After applying patch 1.09, you can select Multiplayer -> and Create a New Account to log into. This game can still be natively played over Blizzard's Battlenet online service.

There are ways to achieve better resolutions and windowed mode using 3rd party files/utilities. The game will natively run only in 640x480 fullscreen mode with no option to change. Alternatively, terminating explorer.exe process via the Task Manager after running the game will achieve the same result. By running the game in Windows XP Compatibility Mode and 256-colors mode, you can play the game normally. This game can be run natively (without any mods or 3rd party utilties) on Windows 7 with color artifacts. Sources:Īs far as I am concerned, that makes Diablo 1 abandonware, so feel free to download this iso, legally. According to Jurannok, a Blizzard representative on their Support Forums, the game has been discontinued and Blizzard has no current plans to update it or start selling it again.

You can no longer buy a copy of Diablo 1 from Blizzard and their associated providers, the game does not come with a CD-key to be used on Blizzard's website, and there is no paid digital download option. Since nobody has written anything useful about this package, let me be that person.
