Do you old timers remember this? Diablo (1) on Battlenet

General Discussion

I couldn’t resist. It was only $9.99 USD. So, I purchased it and installed it in the Battle․net App.

I’m curious to see if it runs at high-resolution without resizing my desktop resolution.

Much Later

Well, that was 10 bucks in the trash.

Fair Warning

  1. If you want Diablo  to play on your current computer, buy GOG’s copy.
  2. Blizzard’s copy will not run on Battle․net.
  3. Blizzard’s copy only runs what GOG calls Diablo Classic. (640x480).
  4. Blizzard’s copy does not have Hellfire  on the App. (You’ll have to run it from the executable in the Hellfire  folder).
  5. Blizzard’s copy does not have the high-resolution option.
  6. GOG and Blizzard are charging the same price for their copies.

Note: GOG’s Classic can no longer run Multiplayer on Battle․net (at the moment). GOG’s high-resolution option can run on Lan connection only. (Or Direct Connect and TCP/IP).

Single Player will run on any of them.

TL:DR — If you want Diablo + Hellfire  buy it from GOG.
